!REVIEWS!
"Ok honestly this was one of the more unexpected depictions of Italian family and foreign girl stories and I must say I've enjoyed it so far. With a potential Arlo spin-off in the works (I'm hoping) this might be a really fun read. One that you cherish for a long time due to the strong feeling of brotherhood mixed with the nail biting drama and excitement. Can't wait for the updates 💜🤟🏻" - @Gauravaaditya
"A lily amongst roses is one of the best stories I've ever read. The characters are not just realistic, but loveable. The writing is absolutely beautiful, depicting ever emotion perfectly, and giving every character a unique voice. At the end of every chapter I'm always left wanting more. You won't ever want to put this book down. I'm so glad to have been here through a long part of this books journey, and I can't wait to see it flourish even more. " - @im_her_rose

Family Comes First
Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.

His Rose
Fair warning. This book is all over the place and i don't have the time or energy to fix it. if there are dumb mistakes, just comment and i'll try to fix it when i can. ~~~ Rose Martinez & her best friend Maia go to a club one day. There, Rose meets Alessandro Bianchi. A cold, murderous and ruthless Mafia Don. But for some reason, he has a soft spot for Rose. A soft spot for... Rose. A girl he barely knows but seemingly wants to change it all for. Will he keep her safe? Is he really just a big scary mafia man? (This contains, awfully written, smut, some trigger warnings are put at the top of any part in the story that may need them, you have been warned!) Tbh this is one of my first ever stories so the plot is probably horrid and just awfully written so bear with me, or don't.... It's just a hot ass mess so- 40,824 words in total (minus announcements and the welcome) it moves fast. lol. ••• -Highest rankings- #1 in italian #1 in smexy #11 in mafia #9 in romance ✨😼😼😼Complete

I didn't exactly choose to be stolen at four years old. But the French underworld isn't big on consent. One minute I was Donatella Acardi, Mafia royalty. The next? Just another stolen kid bleeding in someone else's basement. That's where I met Amir. We bonded over near-death experiences and shared trauma. Real cute stuff. Then Demetri found us-trained us, broke us, built us back. We became something the underworld whispered about when they thought no one was listening. Angela Della Morte. Morte Nera. The Angel of Death and the Black Death. It has a ring to it, doesn't it? We're not kids anymore. We're not victims either. And we have one job: burn the French Mafia to the ground. Starting with the Don who ruined everything. But revenge doesn't follow a clean checklist. Especially not when I'm suddenly face-to-face with the family I swore I'd never see again... Yay. Now I'm stuck balancing the ghost of who I was with the assassin I've become... while navigating a castle full of lies, power plays, surveillance systems, olive oil, and one very inconvenient slow-burn romance. The mission? Still on. But if I'm not careful, I might survive the job and still lose what's left of me. And let's be honest-I worked way too hard to become this unkillable. ⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ ~Thank you so much for even taking a glance at this book.
