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.

Four years ago, Natalia Moretti disappeared. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence. Once the youngest princess of the Italian mafia, Natalia was raised to obey-to smile, to submit, to accept a future chosen for her. Instead, she chose herself. Now she's back in New York. Her parents are gone. Her brothers rule the Moretti empire. And the boy she once loved-the one who thought she betrayed him-has become a man shaped by power, pride, and unfinished heartbreak. Natalia returns different. Stronger. Untouchable in ways no one expects. She's built a life of her own, far from the shadows she was born into-and she carries a secret that could change everything. As old feelings resurface and fate pulls her back into the orbit of the man she never forgot, Natalia must decide how much of her heart she's willing to risk again. Because love in their world is never simple. And some secrets aren't just dangerous- They're legacy-changing. Heir of Silence is a slow-burn mafia romance about first love, second chances, and the quiet strength it takes to protect what matters most-when the whole world is watching.

I wanted to stay hidden, in my apartment in South Dakota. I wanted to remain anonymous, their world knowing me as Sleuth, someone whose presence was strictly digital. Helping people find their missing loved ones. Then came a deal I couldn't refuse - literally. The Morelli family was one you just didn't say no to, and when you were on their radar, they weaved you into their way of life, their web sticking to you like glue. I promised myself I wouldn't go back to that life after growing up in it; but there was a missing girl to find. And I just happen to love solving a mystery. 'A missing sister story, where she finds herself and a family she didn't even know she wanted.' ⭐️1st in #MISSINGSISTER on the 22/12/2025

Ivory has never relied on anybody-anything. Not even her own mother. The same mother who forced her into a life she never deserved. But there's no backing out now. The assassin's life is all she's ever known, ever since childhood. Her mother made sure of that. Trouble finds Ivory like a vine-wrapping, twisting, never letting go. Spreading like a virus. Trouble finds her most when she discovers she's the bastard child of the Italian Mafia Don. When she meets him and his family-his wife and five sons-she realizes her life is no longer hers to control. And she hates that. It only worsens when her knight in shining armor reveals himself to be the devil in sheep's clothing. Satan himself, if you will. A new country. A new household. A new family. New friends gained, old ones lost. A thirst for revenge. How is she supposed to cope? Especially when stormy eyes follow her everywhere. But that's not quite what scares her. What terrifies her is the way he watches-not with the same disdain he gives everyone else, but with interest. With wonder. For her and her alone. You know what they all say; curiosity kills the cat. But satisfaction brought it back.

QUEENS OF CHOAS SERIES PREQUEL!!! Once upon a time, a girl was sent away. No trial. No second chance. Just a story everyone believed because it was easier that way. Five years later, she comes back. This is the part where, in a Disney movie, she'd forgive everyone, hug her family, and learn the power of love. Instead, Gianna De Santis learns how to break bones, keep secrets, and survive rooms that were never meant to be safe. The family expects a villain. The kingdom expects obedience. And some Princes are not always charming . There are no fairy godmothers here. Only men with power, women with knives, and lies that refuse to stay buried. And while everyone's busy wondering if Gianna is still dangerous- They forget to ask the real question: What happens when the girl they tried to erase comes back sharper... and finally decides to stop being nice? Because this isn't a Disney movie. And the girl who survived the tower doesn't believe in happily ever after- She believes in consequences.
