SILKEN CHAINS [ BOOK 1]
**Silken Chains** Is a gripping tale of forbidden love, power, and sacrifice, centered around Kim Ryan, a ruthless yet charismatic Korean Mafia leader, and Isabella Harper, a fiercely independent woman caught in a web of danger and desire. Despite their stark differences-Ryan's dark, commanding world of crime clashes with Isabella's principled, vibrant spirit-their paths collide when they discover they are step-siblings, bound by a tangled family history. Yet, the undeniable pull between them ignites a passionate, all-consuming love that defies societal norms, family ties, and the dangerous forces conspiring to tear them apart. Ryan, a man who rules Seoul's underworld with an iron fist, is possessive and unyielding, his love for Isabella bordering on obsession. "You're mine, Isabella," he growls in a heated moment, his dark eyes blazing. "No one-not family, not my enemies, not even the universe-will take you from me." Isabella, though initially resistant to his dangerous allure, finds herself drawn to his intensity, whispering in a moment of vulnerability, "I should hate you, Ryan, but my heart betrays me every time you're near." Their chemistry is electric, each encounter laced with tension, intimacy, and a fierce need to protect one another. As they navigate betrayal, rival gangs, and the weight of their forbidden bond, Ryan's mafia empire is threatened, and Isabella becomes a target. The universe seems determined to keep them apart, throwing obstacles like family disapproval, violent turf wars, and moral dilemmas in their path. Yet, their love only grows stronger, fueled by defiance and an unbreakable connection. "Let them try to break us," Ryan declares, his voice low and menacing. "I'll burn this city to the ground before I let you go." Isabella, equally resolute, responds, "I'm not afraid of your world, Ryan. I'm afraid of a life without you."
I am Clara
Clara Molino is far from a perfect warrior, and she makes that known, amongst her passionate lack of interest in being the chosen one. Grouchy and self-deprecating, Clara is any of us placed in the same shoes. Everyone wants to be a hero, but does anyone want to be injected with painful superhuman liquid, be trained by a morally questionable group and battle a reincarnated, centuries old warrior and her minions? Between having a dead-beat dad, an alcoholic mother and practically raising her four siblings, Clara just wants a break. She wants to feel like herself again. She expects a two-week school trip around the world, with her best friend, to present the perfect break. She does not expect to be harassed by a ghastly, frail older woman. She fights every step of the hero-becoming process, thus establishing a challenging relationship with her mentor whom Clara has nicknamed after the Indonesian word for Nightmare. Her mentor is convinced that love is Clara's only down fall; fears that her relationship with Easton Andrews will be her undoing. But there is absolutely nothing going on between her and Andrews; except constant child-like bickering... At least, according to Clara. As Clara and Andrews' relationship blossoms, as they both become impossibly closer and distant, is Mimpi right? Will love destroy Clara?
