When Anastasia and Liam Kingsley were taken, they were severely injured but not dead. The French mafia kept them in containment, in a steel room. They were tortured, starved, beat, raped, whipped. They made a plan. It took years. It was fucking worth it. - you have to read the first book, 'intrepid'. thanks for all the support ily.

Celeste's childhood wasn't something she loved talking about. It was filled with nothing but painful memories. Whether they were the ones from when her father, along with her brothers, left, or the ones from her mother's death and her stepfather's abuse. Hell was the word she used to describe her past. And she was sure that it'd be her future too. That was until her stepfather got a new job and moved out along with her and her stepbrother, Lorenzo. Life decided to take a complete different turn and forced Celeste to meet the people who hurt her the most. Her past caught up with her present and she started to discover the bitter truths to the lies her life was built on.
