Seventeen-year-old Tazanna Miller has spent the last seven years trapped in a nightmare, enduring abuse at the hands of her father after the tragic loss of her mother when she was just ten. Her life takes a dramatic turn when her best friend Lincoln's father, the head of the police department, intervenes and locks her father away, offering Tazanna a chance at a new beginning. 

Now living with Lincoln and his family, Tazanna is slowly trying to piece her life back together. However, the shadows of her past loom large, and despite three months of safety, she remains haunted by the fear that her father could return at any moment. Lincoln, charming and fiercely protective, does everything in his power to keep her safe and distracted, helping her navigate the complexities of healing and trust.

Their bond deepens as they navigate the complexities of friendship and the unspoken feelings that linger between them.

Just as Tazanna begins to find solace in her new life, her world is rocked by the unexpected return of her ex-boyfriend, who has transformed into a powerful mafia boss. His arrival stirs up old feelings and complicates her already tumultuous emotions. Torn between the safety and affection Lincoln offers and the dangerous allure of her past, Tazanna must confront her deepest fears and make choices that could change her life forever.

Shadows Of The Past is a gripping tale of survival, love, and the struggle to reclaim one's identity in the face of trauma. As Tazanna battles her inner demons and navigates the treacherous waters of her past, she discovers the strength within herself to fight for a future free from fear. Will she find the courage to embrace her new life, or will the shadows of her past pull her back into darkness?

10 parts Ongoing Mature
Amara has lived her whole life under the shadow of the mafia, raised to be the perfect heir to her father's ruthless empire. Trained from a young age, she learned the deadly skills needed to survive in a world built on power, loyalty, and secrecy. No one outside her father's mafia knows who she truly is, and that's the way it's always been. Lucien, the man who trained her and works by her side, has always been a constant in her life-a skilled, reliable partner who makes every mission possible. Their relationship is built on professionalism, but there's always been something else simmering beneath the surface. It's playful, dangerous, and forbidden-nothing more, nothing less. At least, that's what Amara tells herself. But when Harry Styles, a member of a rival mafia, enters the picture, everything changes. He's not just another threat to the family business-he's a force she can't ignore. Charismatic, calculating, and dangerously charming, Harry draws Amara into a game where the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. Torn between her loyalty to her father, the life she's been raised for, and the magnetic pull Harry has on her, Amara is faced with a choice that could unravel everything she's worked for. As the tension between the mafia families escalates, Amara's world is forced to collide with Harry's. But when a connection that was never meant to happen turns into something far more dangerous, Amara finds herself questioning everything-her loyalty, her family, and the one man who could destroy it all.

I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefiction

Damiano snarled, tossing the gun clip on the table. Inwardly a sigh escapes me, here we go again. I couldn't catch a break from him. Why can't they ever just have a normal dinner? Vincenzo squints, almost daring him to repeat himself. "You call her that again, and I swear to fucking God, Damiano-" Damiano didn't bother looking up. "You heard me. She's a weakness, and we can't afford that shit right now, not with the Bravata sniffing up our ass." Vincenzo didn't hesitate as he slammed his hand on the table, and suddenly grabbed the collar of Damiano's shirt, shoving him back into the wall so hard a frame dropped to the floor. "Shut your fucking mouth." He grits through his teeth. Damiano didn't flinch at all but his hands stayed down and his mouth clamped shut. "You forgot who the fuck I am?" Vince growled, deadly and murderous. "You think you're a man because you run your mouth? I don't care, brother or not, but if you come near her with that shit again, I will put you in the fucking ground." Damiano scoffed and turned his head away from Vincenzo's branding gaze in distaste. "If you ever question her blood again, you're gonna see how fucking loyal I am to her over you." ༄༄༄༄༄༄ Valentina Aria De'Luca was only six when she was taken from her family. For years, she lived a life that was never hers, until the day she's thrown back into the world she barely remembers. But Valentina has secrets, ones she can't afford to spill.
