°•○Book 1 in The Forsaken Bloodline Series.○•° ☆Can be read as a standalone☆ In the Ricci Empire, daughters are meant to die before they become toddlers. Any girl born into the bloodline is considered a curse, a weakness that must be erased before she can even take her first steps. Seren Ricci should have been nothing more than a shadow, a secret buried and forgotten. Born from a forbidden night, she is a living sin her father, Alexandros Ricci, cannot forgive-and a secret that could destroy everything he has built. From the moment of her birth, Alexandros kept her at a distance, cold and unyielding, treating her as a mistake rather than a child. Outside the walls of their estate, the empire enforces its brutal law without mercy, and every heartbeat of Seren's life is a defiance of tradition. But when tragedy threatens to take her away, Alexandros is forced to confront a truth he has long denied: he cannot bear to lose her. Hatred fractures into something raw and dangerous, and the child he once despised becomes the center of his world. In a realm where daughters are meant to die, Alexandros must choose-between loyalty to the empire and the daughter who has become his everything. Seren is more than a secret. She is his rebellion, his redemption, and the spark of love that could either save them both-or destroy everything he has ever known. --- °•○All rights are reserved.

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Evienne's life was never her own. From the moment she was born, her mother's obsession with her perfection and her father's hunger for power meant she was destined to be nothing more than a pawn in their game. Sent to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps, Evienne was raised by nuns and priests who taught her that her purpose was to serve men, be pure, respect the faith and eventually marry a man who would ensure her family's continued dominace. Her future was planned-perfected-until tragedy struck. When her parents die unexpectedly, Evienne is pulled from the only life she's ever known and sent to live with her biological family. But her new life is nothing like the one she was trained for. Her six brothers, rough, vulgar, and unapologetically wild, have been searching for her for years. They don't live by rules - they are loud, messy, brash, and live for the moment, utterly opposite to everything she was taught to respect and fear. Evienne must now navigate the chaos of her brothers' world: a world where cursing, and a total disregard for authority are the norm. The brothers who love her unconditionally are nothing like the controlled, quiet life she once had. As they help her heal from the years of manipulation and oppression, Evienne is forced to confront the truth about herself and her past. But can she find a way to balance the strict, submissive girl she was raised to be with the bold, rebellious woman she's becoming in the arms of the brothers who love her - in ways she never thought possible?

8 years old Aarya was raised in silence, in fear, and in chains. She never knew a life beyond bruises and rules - where food was a privilege, smiles were sins, and love was just a myth. For eight years, she lived under the iron hand of her mother and her cruel boyfriend, taught to be invisible and obedient or be punished. She didn't know family, joy, or even her own worth. Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone. She is the daughter of Satyaveer Malhotra - one of the most feared mafia dons in the country - and sister to three ruthless crime lords. Thrown from hell into a den of lions, Aarya finds herself in a world she cannot understand - a world of power, guns, secrets, and brothers who speak in bullets and silence. Cold, broken, and dangerous - they don't know how to love. And neither does she. But blood remembers. And somewhere beneath the scars, loyalty, and violence... a family begins to rise..........
