"Pretty little things can be deadly too"
I never understood pain until I was taken, and I didn't know love until they found me.
At the mere age of four, Valenciano Rossi took me from the fire that consumed my home and separated me from the men who'd die to keep me safe. My dad, my brothers and our childhood friend Noah
Now my two loving brothers were traded by two deadly ones, my only father figure is a dangerous criminal and abuser...and my sister is rather keen on making my life harder than it is
The only reason I don't up and leave is the little boy depending on me but I'll get us out of there as soon as I figure out a way
I'm hanging on by a thread, barely keeping up with everything Valenciano makes me do when the Beauforts barge into my life
Turns out, they decide to see an underground fight while they attend business in town. The same one Val is dead set on seeing me win for his own reasons.
And that's how we meet, Nikolai Beaufort finally finds his stolen daughter...just as she beats the shit out of her opponent
I'm guessing life can only go up once you've hit rock bottom right?

"You want to act reckless? Fine. But don't think for a second you're not being watched. This city is full of men who'd love to carve a message into you just to make a point." "And what message would you carve?" I whispered. He reached out. Brushed the back of his knuckles down my jaw, rough and slow. "Mine." It wasn't sweet. It wasn't romantic. It was a brand. And then he dropped his hand. "You have ten minutes to get out of here before I make a fucking scene." ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Massimo Bianchi is ruthless, the kind of man who leaves blood in his wake and never looks back. At 29, he's the trusted enforcer for one of the most feared mafia bosses in America - my father, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ghost I never knew but can never escape. I, Francesca DeLuca, have spent my life in the shadows of wealth, too blind to see the truth behind my family's fortune. But when I confront the mysterious man who's been following me, I'm thrown into a world of blood and betrayal, where loyalty is bought and sold like a commodity. Massimo is everything I should fear - cold, dangerous, and bound by an oath to my father. But there's something in the way he looks at me, a dark hunger he refuses to acknowledge. I should hate him, push him away, but the deeper I fall into my family's twisted legacy, the harder it is to resist the pull. But loving a man like Massimo is a risk, and in our world, mistakes are paid for in blood. So the question is - will I be his downfall, or will he be mine?Complete

Missing Mafia Princess (Completed)
Just a WARNING, this book was written when I was VERY young (around 2020). I will leave it unedited, however this book is a reflection of my lack of editing and slightly immature mindset. So, if you don't mind the improper spelling and horrid format, you may proceed. Keep in mind, this book was deleted for about a year, and is now back again. It will now be staying here permanently. December 12th. That was the day the princess was born. That was the day she was also, stolen. She was their everything, their baby, their love, their mafia princess. But, when someone made a grave mistake, that will cost their life, it sends the family into a spiral. What will the family of over protective brothers, and a father, do to get their baby back? Read to find out. So, this is my first story, so it's very cringe. Feel free to comment and help with grammar and such, but please, do not put hate comments on this book. Also, there may be minor gore. THERE WILL BE MENTIONS OF ABUSE MEANING EVERYTHING BAD, so please, be ware.I WILL NOT BE GIVING WARNINGS!!!Complete
Survival Under Protection - Book Two (Sequel)
This story is the sequel for "Survival Under Protection". Please do read the 1st story before checking this out. I was swift in tackling my molesters, but was no match to their large structure in this vacant street, in this middle of the night. I started running and saw a car approaching me. I smiled and waved at it, but my running feet stopped when I recognized the same old blue Jaguar. The first man growled, "You bitch. I am gonna show you the worst night of your lifetime." "Do anything you want, but please take me with you!" I cried desperately. "You want us to take you?" The second man spoke in disbelief. "Yes! Do whatever you want with me but please protect me from-" I turned speechless in terror. "What's up with those big guys and that tall man who looks like a mere boy? Who is that man you are running away from?" The first man asked curiously. I controlled my tears, "He... he is my older brother." Evelyn's molesters were startled as to why she wanted to run away from her older brother. Same as the owner and the other kids at the orphanage who couldn't understand why she loved being in that stinky orphanage and never wanted to get adopted But no one knew that Evelyn, 14, was hiding from her family for the last 2 years, since that menacing night when her mother, her only protector, Rosy Wilson was shot with a bullet. She ran away, never to return. Little she did know that her brothers Zane and Ried were manhunting for her, not for a reunion, but just to close a deal. Meanwhile, in Beaufort, the Wilson brothers looked all happy and peaceful, or they just pretended to be so, when their worst enemy was still waiting to attack. But surviving under the constant domination was choking Ria and the step she was choosing to take would have led herself and her family to the deepest pit. Hell is bound to lose when the paths of Zane and Logan along with their siblings cross. Will it reunite the families or shatter them even more?
