In the shadowy depths of the mafia world, Althea Calisto DiVittore is not just the daughter of the most feared mafia king; she's a warrior trained for a ruthless future. With her fate sealed by bloodlines and betrayal, Althea steps into the underground arena, determined to prove herself-disguised as a boy.
After a hard-fought victory against a formidable opponent, Kazimir An-Kai Mikhailov, the heir of a powerful family with a long-standing feud against the DiVittore clan, she vanishes into the night. Kazimir, fueled by pride and the weight of his family's expectations, vows revenge. "You'll pay for this, whoever you are," he growls, unaware that the boy who defeated him is actually the daughter of his family's greatest enemy, destined to inherit a legacy as dark as his own.
Years later, their lives collide again in a deadly shootout, and Kazimir's world shatters when he discovers the truth. "You're not just a rival," he breathes, his voice laced with disbelief. "You're the devil's daughter."
As old family rivalries ignite, Althea grapples with her undeniable attraction to the man sworn to destroy her family. "I promise you, I'll find a way to show you the truth behind our families," she whispers, knowing that their hearts are entwined in a dangerous game where love and loyalty are perilously blurred.
The Devil's Heir is a pulse-pounding tale of forbidden love, vengeance, and the struggle for power, where every choice can lead to salvation-or destruction. Will Althea and Kazimir defy their destinies, or will the shadows of their past consume them both?

Never Have I Ever (Games We Play, #1)
What if Romeo and Juliet never fell in love at first sight, but slowly, without knowing each other's family histories? And what if the Montagues and the Capulets weren't noble families, but cruel crime families? Never Have I Ever is a dual-POV character-driven contemporary novel with romance and crime elements. It is the first one of the Games We Play series. It reimagines the doomed-romance-because-of-rival-families of Romeo & Juliet, in a contemporary setting similar to the Daisy Haites series, and blends it with the moral conflict and family dynamics of the Godfather, where the internal character struggle between self and legacy slowly (but ultimately) leads to moral decay. *In the summer of 2019, the sheltered daughter of a Russian oligarch meets the gilded heir of the Sicilian underworld, sparking an attraction that will test their loyalties and awaken buried grudges.* Rule #1: The game of power is won by those brave enough to play it ---- A slow burn mafia romance series, in which the heirs of two rival crime families are drawn into the deadly game for power, in a world where loyalty is written in blood, secrets are currency, and love is a liability. Very loosely based on the idea of a mix between Romeo & Juliet and The Godfather, aka there are two rival families with two rival heirs who do (eventually) fall in love for real, all while struggling with the realities of being born into a crime dynasty.
