**"Broken Ties"**

Aria Grace was living a normal life until the day she was abducted by Elliott Wilson, a man whose enigmatic charm masked the darkness within. Held captive for half a year, Aria endured unspeakable torment at the hands of her captor. But just as her hope was about to be shattered, a single phone call changed everything. Elliott's entire family-his wife, his children, his legacy-wiped out in a single, brutal act of revenge.

Now, amidst the ashes of his shattered life, Elliott finds himself at a crossroads. With his dark secrets threatening to surface, he turns to the only person left in his twisted world: Aria, the woman he held prisoner, and who inexplicably decides to stay by his side.

As Aria and Elliott travel to California to bury the infamous Wilson family, they uncover a web of lies and betrayals that stretches back generations. The more Aria learns, the more she realizes that Elliott's world is one of shadows and blood, where power is everything and loyalty is a currency paid in pain.

Drawn into a vortex of mystery and vengeance, Aria must navigate her complicated feelings for Elliott, a man who is both victim and villain. When a former nanny appears with a child thought lost-Elliott's only surviving daughter-Aria is faced with a choice that will change her life forever.

In a world where nothing is as it seems, where every truth hides another lie, Aria must decide if love can bloom from the darkest corners of the soul. Can she find redemption and peace with a man like Elliott, or will the past consume them both?

**"Broken Ties"** is a gripping tale of betrayal, love, and the haunting ties that bind us-even when we're shattered

In a world where power and deception rule, love becomes both a weapon and a salvation. Olivia has lived her life sheltered in luxury, unaware of the dark secrets hiding beneath her father's polished exterior. When Mark, a charming yet mysterious businessman, enters her life, he seems like the perfect man-until his true intentions begin to unravel. What Olivia doesn't know is that Mark isn't just any businessman. He is the ruthless leader of the Mafia, fueled by a vendetta against her father, the man who destroyed his family to claim power. Mark's plan was simple: get close to Olivia, earn her trust, and break her heart to avenge his own. But the lines between love and vengeance blur when Mark falls deeply for the very woman he's meant to ruin. Their whirlwind romance is shattered when Olivia uncovers the truth, and her father's sins collide with Mark's betrayal. Pregnant and heartbroken, she vanishes, leaving Mark to wrestle with guilt and an empty void he can't fill. Months later, Mark discovers her whereabouts, just in time to witness the birth of their child. But happiness is short-lived. His enemies strike, kidnapping Olivia and their baby as revenge for Mark's dark past. Now, Mark must risk everything to save the woman and child who have become his world, even if it means facing the shadows of his own making. Will love be enough to overcome the weight of betrayal, bloodshed, and revenge? Or will their story end in tragedy, just as it began?

‹‹Once upon a time, there was a special child who never aged. To protect it from harm, I hid it within myself, until one day I forgot it was there.›› Adele and Nina, two inseparable sisters, once believed their family was an unbreakable fortress - a safe place where happiness felt eternal. But in a heartbeat, that safety shatters, and their world is forever changed. Their father, their stedfast anchor, has disappeared without a word. The man who once loved them has moved on, leaving them behind. What they don't know is that their world has been turned upside down, and the reality they know is built on lies. For years, they will navigate life under this shadow, viewing their existence through a lens distorted by someone else's deceit, bearing the immense pain of betrayal. But breaking free from this fictitious world isn't easy, for it demands confronting an even harsher truth: the person behind the deception is the one they hold most dear. "Hope is a Gentle Flicker" is a story that explores the fragile dynamics of blended families, the weight of unspoken emotions, and the ways love can become entangled in misunderstandings and hurt. But maybe, amidst the darkness, there may still exist a light - a delicate, flickering light that refuses to be extinguished. A love that, though unspoken, persists, quietly illuminating their path. *** This book is a memoir based on real events from my life. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
