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.

Everyone thought I was the sweet one. The quiet one. The safe choice. He wanted me because I was 'wife material.' And while he was out living a double life, my best friend, she was helping him hide it. One anonymous message shattered everything I thought I knew. But now that I know all their dirty little secrets... Maybe it's time I revealed one of my own. Because what no one knows is... I'm Ivan Petrov's daughter. And now I have a decision to make. Stay and be the vanilla wife he needed... Or walk away and become the bad girl he never deserved, but always wanted.

Five years after the death of her partner, former Crossfire agent McKenna Holloway has left behind the life of gunfights and espionage for a quiet, solitary one in the country, far away from anywhere her enemies would expect to find her. She's hidden her identity exceptionally well, changing everything from her appearance to her name, but one man will stop at nothing to find and destroy the only person left who could solidify the case against him for Carmen Santos' murder. When a threat is received by McKenna's former teammates at Crossfire Security, lead agent Jace Decker makes it his personal mission to seek out his former nemesis and warn her about the looming danger. But when McKenna turns down Jace's offer for protection, he refuses to take no for an answer, deciding to prove his worth to the woman he'd butted heads with since day one. ©️ 2024 Evergreen Books Warning: This book is rated mature and contains graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, strong language, and/or other mature themes.
