To the world, Allena Draknos is a cold, teenage model who doesn't care about anything or anyone. In reality, she's trying to protect herself and younger sisters from the wrath of their abusive uncle. To the world, Luca Romano, is Italy's golden boy. Rich, good looking, everything a girl wants. In reality he's the heir to a mafia he doesn't even want, and under control of his strict father. The two don't have much in common except for two things: the fear of arranged marriage, and a disdain for each other. But, if they want to save themselves and the people they care about they have to push that aside and convince the entire world they're dating. EXCERPT "There's no harm in holding in this out, at least until the threat of an arranged marriage passes." He argues. "I can't decide what happens to my future until I'm eighteen, and legally get my inheritance. That's months from now." I retort. "And I can't decide until the business gets handed over to me in a few months." Luca adds. "We keep this up until then, and then we break it off." "And what happens when they ask why we aren't engaged?" I ask. "They won't. We just need it to last for a little." He continues. "Plus, we'd barely have to see each other. I'd be in Italy, and you'd be here. Occasionally we can be seen together, for the press and our family." "They'll read right through us." I mumble. "Only if we let them." "This is insane." I whisper. "Well, then what do you say, bellissima? Want to go to insanity with me?"

604, That's how many people Fennec's killed. 604, and counting. The number that keeps him up at night, the number he tries to forget, but always lingers. The number that started when he was a child, an orphan taken in by a man he only knew Conan. Fennec learned that the only thing that truly defined him was the number of kills, that was until Robert Miller, took him in. Robert a retired school teacher finally made it feel like Fennec could breathe. That was until the Ferro's came knocking. The Ferro's, an infamous mafia, gave Fennec an ultimatum, protecting the youngest heir Cielo from the same people that Fennec used to work for, or Robert would find out who his son really was. So now, Fennec's stuck with protecting Cielo, and Cielo has no idea who his overprotective family really is, or who Fennec was. Between endless assassination attempts on Cielo, ranging from posionings to being stabbed to death with a fork at Chilli's, Fennec has to learn how to be more then a number, or die trying. Or lose Cielo's innocence. That would be the worst case scenario. (Will Update on Fridays.) 🥈In #FTM on 04/11/2026

A seventeen-year-old girl and her seventeen-year old brother grew up in a broken, abusive, property-stricken home- until they learn the truth. Years ago, they were kidnapped as children by their drug-addicted mother, stolen from a life they barely remember. When their mother and stepfather are suddenly shot and killed, they are forced to move in with the father they were told was dead... along with five other brothers they never knew existed. ------------------------------------------------------------- Once, they were seven-taken from their own home by the women who gave birth to them. She told them everyone else died in a fire. Instead of saving she broken them, abused them, and reshaped them. Why? It didn't matter. They had each other. And that was enough. Until she sent them away to an "ordinary" boarding school- one that trained children to become assassins. Years passed. The broken became colder. Abuse turn into discipline. Pain into precision. By night and day. They become Italy's most lethal killers-unknown, unseen. Sometimes, though, they were still just two teenagers. Eventually, they were pulled out and dropped into a normal high school, expected to live like everyone else. They had killed countless people. Learned every way to survive. Yet when they returned "home," they didn't fight back. They didn't kill their mother or stepfather when the abuse continued. They had sworn never to hurt another soul-and to never speak of what the school had done to them. So thats what they did. Leaving that life alone. For good. Maybe... - - - - Guys this book is moving quite slow right now 💔 however it's going to get better since I already had this book out with chapters but i did unpublished everything since i just didn't like it but now it's back and definitely better.

With five overprotective older brothers, you'd think he'd be safe. You'd think someone would notice. But Xander's been hiding more than just skipped meals and forced smirks. He's been hiding the truth. He can't tell them. Not about him. Never. But secrets don't stay buried forever.
