My feet was aching, my eyes were still burning from the tear gas and i was sitting in a police precinct.Somehow none of these things from the above was bothering me as much as the lady in front of me who was gonna cause me more trouble without even realizing.
I was expecting her to send me back to my moms house that i had ran away from three weeks ago but she didn't seem to be contacting my mom.Not that she would have much success if she attempted to do so. We sat in silence for a few minutes while she tapped something into her computer.The silence wouldn't bother me this much in other circumstances but right now the echo of the keyboard noises were driving me crazy.
When she finally looked up at me i started to play with my nails anxiously. "Your father decided to take the custody of you, since we don't think your mother can provide you with the right living conditions."

BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story.

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.

Entangled Strings Of Fate
I grew up believing love was unbreakable. My parents adored each other with a devotion so deep it felt eternal-something even death couldn't touch. My childhood was sheltered, innocent, untouched by the darker truths of the world. I was wrong. Love doesn't always end gently. Sometimes it rots. Sometimes it turns obsessive, destructive-and leaves innocent people to suffer the consequences. I didn't choose to be caught in the aftermath of someone else's obsession, yet I pay the price every day. The answers I need remain buried beneath silence, control, and lies. I don't know if I can ever reclaim what was taken from me. I don't know who I can trust. And I don't know if the people I love are victims... or villains. But even after everything I've lost, I still cling to one fragile hope- That I'll find my way back to my family. That I'll survive long enough to uncover the truth. And that freedom is still possible.
Throat Like Glass Bones (edition)
She doesn't remember the sun. Her world has always been four walls and a locked door. No windows. No choices. No voice. The only time she was allowed to leave was when her pain meant saving her sister-or when she'd been "good enough" to earn it. They took her words early on. Beat them out of her until silence became survival. Then one night, everything changed A break-in. A gunshot. A breath of air colder than she'd ever felt. And suddenly, she was alone-left by a riverbank like forgotten trash. That's where he found her. Cruel. Cold. Powerful. A man with blood on his hands and no space for weakness. The kind of man other men fear: a mafia boss with no room for broken things. But he took her in. He doesn't know her story. Doesn't ask why she flinches when he raises his voice or why she can't speak. But for reasons he can't explain, he tries to fix what the world destroyed. She's silent. He's ruthless. And somehow, they both understand each other. Because sometimes the most shattered souls speak the loudest without saying a word.
