Seventeen-year-old Aria Castellano thought she knew who she was - a scholarship student, a good daughter, a girl with simple dreams and a mother who made the world feel safe. But when her mother dies in a car accident, the life Aria knew unravels overnight. A letter. A name. A father she's never met. Now she's flying across the country to New York - to a mansion with guards at every gate, brothers who don't know what to make of her, and a father still struggling to accept the daughter he didn't know existed. Her stepmother is kind, her new home beautiful... but nothing about it feels right. At St. Augustine's Academy, power hums beneath every smile and secret. The students there were born into legacies - families bound by alliances older than the school itself, until betrayal tore them apart. Those old rivalries still live on in the halls she walks now, and Aria's arrival is stirring them all back to life. One boy in particular seems to hate her most. He's untouchable, cruel in that effortless way only someone raised in power can be. But behind the sharp words and colder eyes is something else - something that pulls her closer even when she knows she shouldn't look twice. As Aria begins to uncover the truth her mother died protecting, she learns that some secrets were buried for a reason... and that even in a world built on bloodlines and betrayal, the most dangerous thing of all might be the way he looks at her. "Some secrets don't stay buried forever. And Aria Castellano's name might be the one that brings them all back to the light"

Book 1. "The unknown princess" This is book 2! Five years ago, Aria Castellano learned the truth that destroys most people: innocence is the easiest weapon an enemy can use. So she cut hers out. Piece by piece. She left New York to sever every tie that made her vulnerable-family, friends, and the boy she loved enough to become a liability. She traded softness for strategy, hesitation for violence, and the girl she used to be for a woman who understands that survival requires dirty hands and an even dirtier conscience. Now she's back. Not for forgiveness. Not for closure. But to finish the war that began long before she knew she was part of it. Her return exposes traitors, rattles alliances, and forces her to face the one person she swore she'd never see again. And the worst part? It hurts. It shouldn't- but it does. Still, pain is a small price. Because Aria isn't in New York to feel. She's here to win. And she stopped fearing the monster inside her the moment she realized- monsters survive longer.

Alessia Moretti is an Italian mafia princess. Falling in love with a war veteran turned bartender in New York was never part of the plan. Love wasn't supposed to survive the mafia.

While one couple fights for a future beyond violence, another is forced to confront the unbearable weight of duty, sacrifice, and a love that was never allowed to exist freely.

I was eighteen. He was thirty-one. He was my first. And whether he knew it yet or not, I was going to be his last. After losing the only person who ever felt like home, Trinity is sent from the Bronx to a quiet farm in rural Georgia to live with relatives she barely knows. Everyone tells her it's a chance to heal. She isn't looking for healing. She's just trying to make it through tomorrow. Then she meets Arthur Brandreth. Thirty-one. Her aunt's brother. The man who worked in the farm with his own hands. Quiet. Disciplined. Impossible to read. Arthur keeps everyone at arm's length. Except somehow, not her. He never treats Trinity like she's broken. He never treats her like she's a child. And every stolen glance, every accidental touch, every moment spent alone blurs the line between comfort and temptation. She knows better than to want him. He knows better than to want her. But grief has a way of making people reach for the one thing they should never have. In a town where everyone believes they're saving Trinity, no one notices she's falling for the one man she can never have. Because some kinds of love heal you. And some ruin you so quietly, you mistake them for fate.

He forgot their love. She never could. Now, she must fall in love with the man he has become. He must choose the woman he no longer remembers.

He wakes believing he is still the man he used to be. Everyone else is grieving the man he became. The woman he remembers belongs to his past-the one he once swore he'd never leave. The woman standing in his kitchen, wearing his engagement ring and knowing every shadow in his soul, is a stranger. Jules Hagen loved Seth through every version of himself: the guarded man, the broken one, the architect who finally learned how to build a life worth staying for. Now, she shares a home with the only version of him she never prepared for: the man who doesn't remember choosing her at all. As Seth struggles to inhabit a future he doesn't remember building, Jules is left carrying a love story only she can recall-forced to decide whether to keep fighting for the man she lost or let him become a stranger for the second time. Because forgetting was never the hardest part. Choosing each other again is.

Calculating. Dangerous. A mafia boss who trusts no one, he doesn't expect to be drawn to the fragile young woman carrying his blood.
