{𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 1} 𝒁𝒊𝒏𝒂 𝑻𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔 Is the girl no one really noticed. She hides her face- with all the horrid bruises present- behind a facade, and makes sure no one suspects a single thing about the hell she's met with at her home with her 'parents'. Sure, when she gets in trouble or someone picks on her, she can defend herself perfectly fine with the way she does illegal fights and wins time after time. But it's when she's utterly alone, and locked up in her personal hell that she doesn't dare to speak up or say a thing. It's when the voices get through her that she cowers away in the shadows and doesn't dare to come out. Not even when her own life is in danger does she uses everything she's learned from that special boy with the mesmerizing smile and the kind reassuring eyes. Zina lives in her own shadows and deals with her own demons, but what happens when a random boy on a random day, decides to show more interest in her than anyone ever did? What if he tells her something that'll change her whole life?And what happens if that particular boy claims to be related to her? And is blood really thicker than water? Can her 5 caring brothers pull her out of her own shadows and free her from the voices calling her back? Or will she give in and be a danger to everyone around her? ---- "Don't break her heart." I suddenly hear Lucas speak up next to me. "How did you know?" I ask him. "The eyes. Everything you feel for her is displayed in your eyes." He answers me and I nod slowly. "I won't." I say quietly to him. "You won't what?" He says, wrinkling his brows in confusion. "Break her heart." I finish saying. I see him nod from the corner of my eyes, contemplating on what to say next. "Good." ---- No incest, nor cheating in this book!

Sold for A Thousand dollars!(Completed) by CoumbaSoumare1

Eighteen-year old Marianna Rodriguez is distraught by the abrupt news from her father. Her father lost touch to reality years ago when he plummeted into a deep depression and began heavily abusing drugs. Marianna made sure to stay away from him, but this time he came to her-practically begging and pleading for her help. "Do it for your mother" he had said. She had no choice. She loved her mother, and so she was ready to sacrifice everything-including her future and her wellbeing for her. Jackson is a cruel gang leader, and since very young he's been victim to a cruel faith which has undoubtedly shaped him into the harsh and ruthless man he is today. Just one look at Marianna and he knows he wants her. But he doesn't let his lust for the young girl crowd his perception of her or falter his judgment the slightest. Lust that turns into something much deeper very soon-although he absolutely denies it. As the reader, you'll closely follow Marianna's journey-living with her, surviving with her, feeling for her. You watch her suffer deeply, nearly lose her sanity, lose her loved ones and even her desperate attempt at love. But I must warn you: this story is intense, with more downs then ups. With more tears being shed than heartfelt laughs being shared. Can you handle it? And as for Marianna, will she survive the brutal faith that's been enforced on her? Or is her inevitable demise anticipated? Will the presence of a mysterious stranger change things? Spice things up perhaps? Make her try and forget all the horrible things that she's endured? Or is the damage installed upon the young girl so deep and incredibly complex that she is doomed to stay broken forever? Marianna Rodriguez. The girl who lost everything and everyone in an instant. But most importantly a girl who has pushed to a point of no repair. Or was she? --- "I love this story! Glad it wasn't like the usual mafia book" " I'm so glad she got her happy ending after everything "

What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.
