💎 She was a princess without a crown.
Serafina Valdez grew up in silk sheets and diamond chandeliers. The daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the country, she has lived her whole life pampered and adored. Talkative, lively, and endlessly curious-she follows her older brother everywhere, even to his business empire meetings.
There, she meets Alessandro Cortez, her brother's strict and intimidating business partner. Cold, ambitious, and calculating-he's the kind of man who can silence an entire room with just one look.
Everyone feared him.
Except Serafina.
For some reason, he never sends her away. He listens-tolerates her bubbly chatter and unfiltered thoughts. But as business rivalries grow darker and betrayal slithers into their empire, Serafina becomes more than just a pampered little sister tagging along. She becomes a target.
Enemies will use her as a weapon. Kidnapping, betrayal, manipulation-everything to bring Cortez and Valdez down.
But Alessandro has made a vow.
No one touches her.
Not even fate itself.
Can a strict, goal-driven man fall in love with a spoiled, sunshine-like girl? Or will their love be destroyed by the empire everyone envies?

Hidden Away [Mafioso Book #2] (SAMPLE)
Serafina Marie Regnante led the perfect life. Gorgeous looks, beautiful personality, charistamic charm, loving parents, protective brothers, with her dream job and her own house, and not to forget the best fiancé anyone could possibly ask for. Her life was flawless: serene, secure, happy, meticulous, and beautiful. That is, until an untold secret leads to the death of those dearest to her, and causes her perfect world to come crashing down. In a place where peace and safety become foreign, where can she find the tranquility she most desires in a world of chaos? In her bodyguard, of course. A man whose sole purpose is her protection. Not only from the enemies out to get her, but from the destruction inside her as well. But both of them knew to keep their feelings hidden away, because she was the modern form of royalty, and he nothing more than a servant to the princess. Can the two keep it professional, or do their hands slip and their lips wander? --- "You're my favourite," I found myself admitting as the cool breeze gently caressed our faces, tucking my hair behind me. "Favorite what?" He asked in confusion, tilting his head to look at me. "Oh well..." I stammered. "Well, just that. My favorite pair of eyes to look into. My favorite name to see on my phone. My favorite way to spend the afternoon. Fill in the blanks, cupcake... I left it at favorite for a reason." I teased with a grin, watching his expression turned thoughtful. "You're my favorite, too."
