Daffodil was born into chaos - the unwanted daughter of a reckless biker and a bitter club girl. Cast aside, betrayed, and forced to survive a brutal childhood, Daffodil spent her early years fighting battles no child should face. Betrayed by the father she worshipped, humiliated by the boy she once loved, she learned early that love was a lie. When her only source of light, her baby brother Nate, comes into her life, Daffodil becomes both sister and protector. But one act of violence tears them apart from the only world they've known. Twelve years later, Daffodil has risen from the ashes. No longer the broken, lonely girl of the past, she has become a powerful, untouchable force - the head of a fashion empire, admired, feared, and envied. With Nate thriving under her fierce protection, Daffodil has built a life so dazzling that even her old enemies can only watch from afar. But when Blaze - the father who betrayed her - learns the devastating truth he was too blind to see, he comes searching for the children he abandoned. Torn between rage and the little brother who dreams of knowing his real father, Daffodil is forced back into the world that once destroyed her. A story of survival, vengeance, and healing, and most importantly about a woman who refused to stay broken - a woman who made the world bow to her strength, and who will never again let anyone decide her worth.

(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.

I felt the tears rise and I looked down for a minute, gathering all of my resolve. I looked up again and stared him right in the eye. "You know what? I trusted you!" I jabbed my finger in his chest and he recoiled. "I trusted you and you broke my trust. I trusted you to keep the secret. I trusted you enough to tell you everything. I trusted you to keep my trust. I trusted you." I told him and he flinched as my voice broke in the end. I looked away from him and at everyone else in the room. "And you wonder why I never trust. You know what? I can't do this. I'm done." I scoffed and shoved past Aiden but paused at the door, not looking back. "Oh, and if you are still curious? Go ahead and hack into the file. Don't say that I didn't warn you." ************************************************************** Alexis and Aiden are siblings with Aiden being 11 months older than her. With a neglectful mother and an abusing step dad, these two face the world on their own with no one to help them out. When they get a chance at a new life, they jump at it. What happens when Alexis bumps into a boy in the new school she is set to attend? Especially when the boy she bumps into looks exactly like her. [Like I mention in every book, my descriptions are horrible so please read the book before judging anything.]
