As the feared leaders of the Bonetti mafia, they believed Cecilia was gone forever. Until now. But blood has memory. And when sunshine slips into their dark world, even the coldest hearts begin to crack. They'll fight to keep their composure - ruthless, untouchable - but with Cecilia back, staying cold might be the hardest battle they've ever faced.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That was what they whispered about me. My mother was a dancer who seduced an Emperor to survive. I was the ignored princess who seduced a Prince to steal a throne. I thought I was the heroine of a romance novel. I thought if I smiled enough, schemed enough, and loved him enough, I would get my happily ever after. I was wrong. My sister was the beloved Cinderella. The Crown Prince was her Prince Charming. And I? I was just the wicked stepsister who got in the way. My reward for stealing the male lead was a hellish marriage, a cold bed, and a lonely death. Now, I have returned to the beginning. I'm done chasing fairytales. I'm done trying to be someone I'm not. This time, I won't go to the ball. I won't wear the glass slipper. I will just fade into the background and disappear. Or so I thought. "Careful, Your Highness." On the balcony where I tried to hide from the world, a hand caught me. It wasn't a Prince. It was a Knight I had never noticed before. I wanted to retire from this fairytale, but it seems the story isn't done with me yet

She was fire. He was a storm. And together, they burned the world that broke her. Siya Sharma never asked for the shadows that followed her into Rathore Mansion. Traumatized by the ghosts of her past, haunted by a faceless stalker, and betrayed by the one person she called family - Siya was slowly unraveling. Until Abhimanyu Singh Rathore walked in. Feared by all. Soft only for her. Their love wasn't easy. It was raw. Forbidden. Violent at times - yet healing. He didn't just protect her. He gave her the space to fight back. To scream. To bleed. To reclaim herself. But when secrets erupt - a cousin's betrayal, naked images leaked, and a stalker who crosses every line - it becomes more than just a love story. It's war. Against silence. Against shame. Against a society that tells a woman to sit quietly and break with grace. And when the dust finally settles - When the stalker is exposed... When family fractures and reconciles... When the bruises fade... They don't just kiss. They claim each other. Eight soul-shattering, heart-binding rounds of love later, Siya is no longer broken. She's cherished. Celebrated. And finally... home. With the Rathores standing behind her - she gets not just a happy ending, but a new beginning.

"I hope you die soon, Ryder." "I don't want anything better than that for you too, Hardy." ************** Grey Hardy is known as 'Bully of the bullies'. He is intimidating, he can fight his fights alone. But he is also the kindest person one could find. Adam Ryder is calm, collected and friendly.

But when fate brings them together, can they really escape each other's pull? . . . . . . . . . .

She survived the basement. She survived him. But surviving alone wasn't enough. Eleven year old Sienna thought her life had ended with her mother's death and her stepfather's cruelty, until she discovers the family she never knew existed: six older brothers, each dangerous in their own way, each bound by loyalty, secrecy, and the Italian mafia code. Dominant, calm, harsh, gentle, redeemed, soft - they are her protectors, her judges, and the only hands that can pull her out of the shadows. But in a world built on blood, power, and unspoken rules, can Sienna truly find safety - or even herself - without breaking everything around her? #1 in adorable (01/2026) #1 in six brothers (01/2026) #1 in mafia brothers (01/2026) #1 in eleven year old (01/2026) #1 in family issues (01/2026)

Ten years ago, they were neighbors. Ten years ago, they were everything. And then, ten years ago, Luke disappeared without a word, leaving Maeve to pick up the pieces of a life he was no longer part of. Now, a random weekend staycation has thrown them back into the same orbit. They aren't kids anymore, but the history between them hasn't aged a day. Neither of them knows how to navigate the feelings that are starting to resurface-feelings that go much deeper than a childhood crush. They are both in total denial about how much they still matter to each other, playing a dangerous game of who can act more indifferent while the air between them screams otherwise. In a world of missed signals and ten years of secrets, they are one heartbeat away from losing each other for the second time. How do you bridge a gap that's been ten years in the making? Author's Note Note: This story contains explicit language and mature themes. This story has been sitting in my drafts since 2023, and I'm finally reworking the plot and filling in the gaps to give these characters the depth they deserve. Heavily inspired by music and the "what ifs" of life, this is my first long-form story, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you. This serves as an alternative/extended ending to the short story 'You Weren't Mine To Lose' from the Whispers In The Wind collection. Thank you for joining me on this journey!

Camryn Wells wasn't trying to rebuild her life so much as outrun the version of it that nearly destroyed her. After a year and a half off the grid, nursing wounds no one could see and some that still ached like hell, she's back in Pittsburgh. Sort of. She's here for Gwen, the woman who adopted her, who's now fading into early-onset dementia. She's on night shift, working trauma at PTMC, trying to remember the nurse she used to be-and to convince her small army of overprotective siblings that she's fine now. That she's not the broken girl they saw in that hospital bed in Boston.

And he's exactly what she wasn't ready for. But on the night shift, where everything broken comes through the door eventually, maybe they'll both learn healing doesn't always look like what you thought.

This is Liam's story, an omega people never stayed for. Not because he wasn't worth it, but because life kept taking things away from him, again and again, until he stopped expecting anyone to stay at all. He is kind in a quiet, almost stubborn way. The kind of kindness that doesn't ask to be returned. He endures things most people would break under, carries pain like it belongs to him, and still somehow manages to stand. Sensitive enough to feel everything. Strong enough to let it go. Because Liam learned early; nothing stays. Not people, not warmth, not safety. Everything eventually slips through his fingers, so he stopped trying to hold on. Until Tae Ashford doesn't leave. A high-ranked alpha. Powerful. Untouchable. A man who has everything and needs nothing. Except : he can't walk away from Liam. What begins as something insignificant, almost accidental, slowly twists into something else. Something heavier and sharper. An obsession Because Tae doesn't just come back, he keeps coming back. Again. And again. And again. Until Liam, who was used to being left behind, suddenly has someone who refuses to leave him at all.
