A legend in the underground. Professional thief. Black market princess.
Raised by one of Germany's most influential underground figures, Zara grew up surrounded by power, wealth, and crime disguised behind a luxury restaurant empire stretching across Europe. By twenty-two, she had already built a reputation for accomplishing impossible heists and stealing things that were never meant to be touched.
So when an anonymous client offers a hundred million dollars for a single object hidden within the heavily protected Cordova estate, Zara accepts without hesitation.
After all, it's just another job.
Or so she thinks.
The moment she arrives in New York, everything begins to unravel.
The heist that was supposed to make her richer may instead expose the truth about who she is, where she came from, and why someone is willing to pay a hundred million dollars to keep the past buried.

Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal.

With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again.

But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

Tale of Wrath
'He hit me, and it felt like a kiss.' Cadence Levana Solace, seventeen years old, the bastard child of the ex-don of the Italian mafia. Born of mistakes and raised by hate, she is now a force to be reckoned with. Growing up with no knowledge of her biological mother, having to deal with the scrutiny of her stepmother and half-brothers, and the abuse of her father, impacts her dearly. Now, at the ripe age of eight, she's being sent away by her family to a boarding school. Due to the reckless endeavors of her fathers late night, drunken research, she is sent off to a boarding school for assassins. Years of torture and assualt leads Cade to become the most feared being in the underworld/mafia and the unofficial Queen of the underworld. Life is going...well enough for Cade when an anonymous tip leads to the school being under investigation and temporarily shut down. Now she's back with the family who sent her away. But here's the thing, my dear readers; I created this book with the romance and couple in mind. Not the family. This book isn't about Cade going back to being a victim who just takes the hits and insults like that's all she can do. No, this book is about her becoming the abuser, about her being hit and hitting back and fucking loving it. About her being choked, thrust into, and fucked without her consent, so she does it back. And she doesn't leave the relationship. Because in this book, pain doesn't mean leaving, it means wanting to bruise everywhere so that the next time they look in the mirror, they see who they belong to written all over their body. This, Dearest readers, is the Tale of Wrath. Book One in the 'Tale Of Sins' Series. All the books in that series can be read as a standalone and are not interconnected, despite having a few easter eggs.
