Amira and Asher were inseparable from the ages of 1-13. How could they not be? They lived right beside each other, and they were the best of friends. Nothing could separate them.
But suddenly, Asher's dad got a new job in New York and he had to move states when he was 13. Amira was crushed, missing him more and more every day. They keep in touch until the age of 15, when they stop contacting each other abruptly.
Fast forward to when both the kids are 17. Asher is back in his hometown and desperately wants to reunite with Amira. But Amira is not the same happy kid she was 4 years ago. Something happened to her- but what?
This is the story of Amira and Asher finding themselves- and each other.
*I'm so bad at descriptions, please give my book a chance! I promise you will fall in love with Amira and Asher as much as I have :)*

❝Alia, I wanna try again. You and me. I've been thinking about you crazy and if we don't date I might just bust a gut.❞ ❝Well I don't want you to hurt yourself.❞ Alia smirked, leaning in. Alia Mendoza was Jesus's first real love-bright, artistic, and full of fire. But just as their connection began to deepen, Alia was abruptly pulled out of his life when her conservative parents forced her to move away, fearing her growing bond with the Foster family and Jesus's influence. What they didn't know was that the two never really stopped talking. For months, Jesus and Alia have secretly stayed in touch through late-night phone calls, private texts, and heartfelt video chats. So when Alia suddenly returns to town for her sophomore year-enrolling at Anchor Beach-Jesus sees it as their second chance. He's ready to pick up where they left off, only this time, he's determined to make it real: no more sneaking around, no more hiding. But love the second time around isn't so simple.

Just wanna point out tips if you interested in reading :D •don't read to fast you might miss out on something~ •There will be some boy action so if you don't like smut or if your homophobic then I suggest you dodge that chapter when it is made~ •Asher house is outside of town sorta like the deep suburb but deeper and there are no houses around for a few mintues out. But keep in mind that his house is only about one long block away from the school~ •the pictures in the beginning chapters and future chapters might have visuals of the characters and setting appearance so don't miss out on that~ Well that's all the tips I have for now but if your confused on something or spot a error please feel free to comment!

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.
