JUST WANTED A PEACEFUL LIFE
She was born into blood, betrayal, and silence. Kelly never knew a mother's love, and her father's hatred carved scars deeper than any knife. Raised in the shadows of a powerful mafia family, she learned early that weakness was a luxury she could not afford. By the time the world learned to fear the name K, no one suspected the truth-that the most ruthless mafia king was a woman. Hidden behind a mask of power, Kelly ruled with precision, intelligence, and quiet fury. Alongside her loyal cousins, she became untouchable. Unseen. Unstoppable. But power does not erase pain. Tired of violence, haunted by the life she never chose, Kelly disappears-seeking a quiet town, a small restaurant, and the peace she was denied since birth. For the first time, she allows herself to hope. Hope, however, is dangerous. When her past collides with the present and secrets begin to unravel, Kelly is forced back into the world she tried to escape. Enemies close in. Trust shatters. And the cost of peace may be higher than war. Just Wanted a Peaceful Life is a dark, emotional mafia romance about identity, survival, love, and the impossible desire to outrun your own fate. Some queens are born. Others are forged in fire.

She's soft-hearted, too hopeful for her own good, and swears she won't fall for boys who'll ruin her. Christopher Gonzales wasn't supposed to be different. A boy with a broken past, a heart that still writes letters to someone who won't read them, and eyes that linger too long when he thinks no one's watching. But the more Ivy sees him, the more she realizes he's not the rumors. He's the kind of boy who makes her laugh until she forgets she's afraid of getting hurt. The kind of boy who makes her believe love is worth the risk. And for the first time, Christopher wants to risk it too. But love has bad timing. Cameron Palmer-her ex-knows exactly how to ruin things. And when Ivy finds out about the ghost of Christopher's first love, she starts to wonder if she's just another almost for him.
