Rune Pavlov is the kind of person who instantly evokes images of sunshine and rainbows. Despite her turbulent past and years spent confined within the four walls of her home, she manages to find a spark of hope in the darkest of corners. Her innocence and naivety about how the world truly works, however, leave her vulnerable to the harsh realities that many face. That all flies out the window when she discovers her mother's body, lifeless on the floor.
Kaizer Romano is a mystery wrapped in silence- intimidating and cold at first glance. He speaks sparingly, choosing his words with precision, masking a life filled with darkness. His survival instincts have been forged through brutal experiences, leaving him guarded and emotionally distant. Yet, beneath his tough exterior, he's never known true love or tenderness, because he truly believes himself undeserving of any love.
What happens when their paths cross during the investigation of her mother's murder and she learns that everything she thought she knew, is a tangled web of lies?

Beneath the Surface
Isabelle is a kind-hearted young woman with a soft spot for everyone, even those who don't deserve it. After the death of her father and a difficult life with her unpredictable mother, she moves to a new town, seeking a fresh start. But when she unknowingly steps into the world of Domenico, a brooding, ruthless man tied to the dangerous Italian mafia, her kindness puts her directly in his path. Domenico is cold, calculating, and unforgiving-traits that have kept him at the top of the criminal world after inheriting his father's empire. He trusts no one, and he certainly doesn't have time for someone like Isabelle, whose sweetness and naivety irritate him more than he cares to admit. When he dismisses her without a second thought, Isabelle's response is anything but what he expects. Determined to prove herself, she takes on the challenge to show him she's not just some fragile girl who will back down. But as their paths continue to cross, what starts as animosity slowly transforms into something deeper-something neither of them expected. Beneath Domenico's icy exterior lies a man tortured by his past, and beneath Isabelle's gentle nature is a quiet strength that threatens to crack the walls he's built around himself. In this slow-burn romance filled with tension, danger, and unspoken truths, both Domenico and Isabelle will have to confront the past they've tried to outrun and learn that beneath the surface, things are never as simple as they seem.Complete![Dark Saint [Romano Brotherhood, #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/335200006-256-k503886.jpg)

The Way He Saw Her
He wasn't supposed to see her again. Not after everything burned to ashes, not after he buried that part of his life deep beneath Moscow's frozen silence. But one glimpse-just one-through the blur of city traffic, and she was there. Her face, a memory he never managed to forget. Her eyes, the ghost that still kept him awake. For years, he's watched her from afar-quietly, carefully, dangerously. Not out of love. Not entirely. Because sometimes obsession doesn't start with desire-it starts with a memory that refuses to fade. And now that he's back... she's about to learn that some ghosts never stop following you. He's the kind of man you notice twice - once because you feel his presence before you see him, and again because you wish you hadn't. Born in Russia, the heir of the Morozov legacy. Mikhail Morozov, raised in silence and scars, he learned early that the world doesn't reward softness. He speaks little, but when he does, his words cut clean - precise, deliberate, dangerous. He moves like someone who's always calculating, never surprised. The kind of man whose calmness makes you uneasy. There's something about him that doesn't belong anywhere - not in the light, not in love, not even in the life he's trying to rebuild. But the moment he saw her again, everything he had buried began to surface. The danger, the desire, the memories - all of it. Now, he's not chasing her. He's remembering her... and that might be even worse.
