*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

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Emily has grown up in foster care her entire life. No family. No friends. No one who's ever stayed long enough to matter. Just Emily. Alone. Unwanted. Unremarkable. Until the day a man in a suit shows up at her door... and everything she thinks she knows shatters. Her real name isn't the one she's been using. Her life wasn't an accident. She wasn't abandoned. She was hidden. Hidden from a family that has been searching for her. Hidden from enemies older than history. Hidden from a destiny that should never have reached her. Because Emily Ashford isn't human. She's the last surviving heir of a forgotten Alpha bloodline - a legacy powerful enough to challenge kings and awaken ancient forces long buried. And Blackvale University, the prestigious supernatural academy buried deep in the mountains, has been waiting for her return. But nothing shocks her more than him. Lucian Blackthorn. Future Alpha King. Arrogant. Beautiful. Untouchable. And the moment he sees her, something in him breaks. He's drawn to her. Haunted by her. Terrified of what she means. Because Emily isn't just important - she's his mate. Fated. Bound to him long before they were born. Destined to either save their world... or destroy it. Emily doesn't know who she's supposed to be. Lucian doesn't know how to let her go. And the bond pulling them together is only growing stronger... and hotter. She was hidden to protect her. He'll burn the world to keep her. Some girls are born ordinary. Emily Ashford was born marked by fate

How do you protect the love of your life if he's sitting in prison for a crime he didn't commit? *** Isabella was happy - happier than she's ever been before in her life. But everything changed when her fiancé Iron Knuckles, or Knux as she calls him, got charged and convicted for a crime that he didn't commit. Knux was known around town as a formidable fighter and served as the Steel Rebels' enforcer. He had some anger issues, especially when it came to protecting her but he'd never kill a guy. Isabella knew this, their friends knew this, probably even the police knew this. But still he's serving time. With him gone, Isabella is stuck between a rock and a hard place and is forced to move to the place that she abhors - her parents' mansion. While her instincts tell her to lay down her guns, just to keep the fragile peace and to prevent anything worse from happening, she is also not the same girl she was before meeting Knux and the Steel Rebels. She has learnt to fight. And she will fight for the man that showed her that unconditional love is a real thing. She'll fight to save him. But what if she is the one that actually needs saving? *** This is the sequel to "Babydoll" and the second part of Isabella's & Knux's story.
