Some destinies are written in blood. Others are forged in fire. Book 2 of Games of fate (cannot be read as standalone) Liana was never meant to survive the world she was born into, let alone rule it. When betrayal strikes from the people she loves most, her world collapses in a single night. Forced to disappear, Liana vanishes with nothing but unanswered questions and a past that refuses to stay buried. The same night, her family's empire collapses under the weight of trust. But fate is patient. And it never creates destruction without also creating its undoing. Including the man who once loved her. Nikolas was never meant to fall for her. He was born for revenge, raised on lies, and shaped into something sharp and merciless. But loving Liana was the one thing fate never warned him against-and the one mistake that shatters everything. When destiny forces him to choose between the purpose he was born for and the woman he was never meant to love, the consequences echo far beyond them both. Four years later, the world shifts. Rumors stir in the shadows. Ancient myths resurface. Enemies rise, hunting fragments of a power capable of unmaking balance itself. As past and present collide, Liana must step out of the grave she created and embrace what she has become-stronger, deadlier, and no longer willing to be used. Especially the man who once held her heart and decided to crush it. Because fate is cruelly fair. It creates monsters to destroy monsters. Love to challenge loyalty. Life to demand death. And when destiny is forged by betrayal, the price is never paid by only one heart. Read to find out.

After moving to Italy from Miami-Dade County, Lilia Moretti is known as the sister of the seven Moretti brothers. She didn't know they existed, but she was ready to get away from her own battles; abuse, betrayal, and the aching loneliness of her abusive mother. But while her brothers fight to protect the family name and uphold the Mafia, they needed to protect Lilia from all the dangers that come with it. Lilia Moretti doesn't speak of what happens at home. She can't. So she swims-every morning, every evening-into the waves that never ask her questions. Her seven brothers call her Sorellina, their little sister, fragile and sweet. But they don't see what the ocean sees: a girl slowly unraveling beneath the surface. In the stillness of the shore and the silence of the sea, Lilia holds onto her last breath of freedom. But as truths begin to rise like tides, the waves may carry more than just secrets-they might bring the Moretti family to its knees. Seven brothers. One sister. A love they couldn't speak-and a pain they never saw coming.

The thrilling sequel to Aurora Costello. Aurora Costello has survived the unimaginable - and yet, the world just won't let her rest. As she fights to protect her family, reclaim her power, and navigate the shadows of a deadly underworld, every victory comes at a cost. Betrayal, loss, and secrets lurk closer than she realises. And when the lines between love, loyalty, and revenge blur, Aurora will have to decide what she's willing to sacrifice... to win.

Book one of the Costello series "He held me underwater and every time I was beginning to drown he'd briefly let me up for air, and then he'd suffocate me all over again." ... Its all well and good having motivation and dedication, but without a backstory? The dedication means shit. I've had a life straight from a horror story. Mix in 10 brothers, a loving set of parents, cousins, grandparents, best friends, a 7'0ft Mexican god and the reign of the underworld and let's see where I end up. ... Can you keep up?

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.
