Born into velvet halls and blood-soaked legacies, Alessio Moretti has everything-except certainty about who he wants to be. As the only son of Theo Moretti, a feared mafia kingpin, and Peter, a sweet yet unpredictable man with autism, Alessio carries the weight of expectations he never asked for. Everyone thinks he'll inherit the family empire. But Alessio isn't sure if he wants a gun in his hand... or peace in his future. Torn between becoming the next Moretti heir or living a quiet life as a "normal" boy, Alessio's world tilts further when a new bodyguard enters the estate-and Alessio falls for him at first sight. A boy who swore he wasn't gay suddenly finds himself questioning everything. With family secrets, teenage emotions, and the ever-present shadow of the underworld closing in, Alessio begins a journey of self-discovery. But can love grow in a world built on blood? This is the spin off from the book His Light (Soulmates)

He was a beast closing in on his prey, and she was frozen, caught between the instinct to flee and a new, bewildering curiosity to see what he would do. His gaze dropped, openly tracing the curve of her hips, the ample swell of her breasts clearly outlined by the thin silk. He stopped just before her, so close she could feel the heat pouring from his body, could smell the dust of the road, the scent of horse and leather, and the unique, musky aroma that was entirely his. "Forgive my hunger, wife," he murmured, his voice dropping to a husky whisper that was for her ears alone. "I have missed the sight of you." Before she could process the apology or the admission, he acted. With a swift, fluid motion that belied his size, he attacked. Not with violence, but with a desperate, primal hunger.

Frida died on the battlefield with no family to mourn her-only a comrade she saved, and a quiet hope that she might see the man she loved but never confessed to. He too had perished in war. A soldier. An orphan. A soul full of quiet regrets. Her only comfort in life? The stories she devoured in secret-especially the ones about loved daughters finally finding a place to belong. But fate had something stranger in store. When she wakes again, it's not her body she returns to-but that of Nej, the veiled, forgotten princess from the last novel she read. Scarred, unloved, and pushed aside-a tragic villainess who had once moved Frida's heart. Now, somehow, Frida is inside her. But it's not just reincarnation. It's inheritance. Nej, it seems, had turned back time-returning to the moment she was scarred by her mother's blade. Too broken to face her past again, she summoned the one soul who had mourned her in silence: Frida. A girl who shared her pain. A girl who also bore a scar from her first battle. A girl who would take her place. Now, with both their memories tangled inside her, Frida-as-Nej carries more than just a royal name. She carries two lifetimes of sorrow, and a vow to break the cycle: She will fulfill Nej's unspoken regrets. She will reclaim her own life. And she will shatter the gilded cage of royalty-sword in hand. Because this time, she's not living for duty or death. She's living for freedom.
