*A Heir of Silence Spinoff* Enzo Moretti was never meant to rule. Third-born. Uncrowned. The weapon, not the king. But when the Russian Bratva fractures and its Don is violently removed, the throne doesn't go to the prepared-it goes to the feared. And Enzo's name carries weight. Sent to Russia to stabilize a crumbling empire, Enzo steps into a world built on ice, blood, and loyalty enforced at gunpoint. He doesn't speak the language. He doesn't know the politics. But he understands violence, power, and what it takes to survive when mercy is a weakness. At his side is Maya-the strategist assigned to keep him alive. She never wanted to return to Russia. The past she buried there refuses to stay frozen, and every step forward drags old ghosts into the light. But as Enzo claims a throne he never asked for, Maya becomes more than his guide-she becomes his anchor in a country that devours the unprepared. As past and present collide beneath frozen skies, enemies circle, alliances fracture, and the line between control and destruction blurs. In Russia, power isn't inherited. It's taken. And the ice doesn't care who you were before it crowned you. Heir of Ice

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.

(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.
