The Godfather's Caged Bird

At eighteen, gifted student Elena Bennett is forced to accept the protection of Damian Moretti, heir to a powerful New York crime family, after her mother falls into massive underground debt. Damian clears the debt—but in return, Elena spends the next ten years trapped in the Moretti estate: every luxury, no freedom, a little bird in a gilded cage. At twenty-eight, Damian agrees to marry Victoria Rossi for a political alliance. While everyone expects Elena to demand money or status, she asks only for the chance to study at Cambridge. Convinced she isn't capable, Damian sends her to an ordinary college with a similar name to humiliate her. Soon after, Victoria frames Elena for theft, and Damian sides with the alliance—the betrayal that ends Elena's last attachment to him. Still under restriction, Elena secretly prepares for her exams and reconnects with Aiden Walker, a former classmate who always ranked just behind her and who, unlike Damian, believes in her ability and offers to support her. Elena earns three A grades. Pretending to submit completely, she persuades Damian to take her to Europe and escapes during a stopover in Istanbul with a decoy and a private plane. Hunting her w

The Donna Seat He Gave Away

Before the Visconti family's truce banquet began, only two seats remained empty at the long table. One was at the far end. The other was to the left of Lucas Visconti, the man I'd married under contract. Three months earlier, to settle a blood debt hanging over my father, I'd signed a marriage contract and become the secret wife of the youngest Mafia boss in New York. According to the seating chart approved and sealed by both families' consiglieri, Sophia Vitali, their negotiator, was supposed to sit at the far end. The list hadn't been changed, but the place cards on the table had been swapped. I had just started toward Lucas when he looked up. "Sophia, take this seat." The banquet hall fell silent. Enzo, the Vitali family's consigliere, stiffened. "Is this a gesture of goodwill, or are we to understand that Sophia is now under your personal protection?" Adrian, Lucas's consigliere, spoke under his breath. "Boss, the official seating chart hasn't been amended. We can still fix this." Roman Hayes, the underboss, also stopped the estate manager from setting out any more silverware. But Lucas overruled the objections. Sophia's brother Dominic had taken a bullet for Lucas six years ag

When My Twin Sister Stole My Mate

"When the bells for our bonding ceremony tolled, my mate, Alpha Killian, was nowhere to be found. Before I could question his absence, a video from my mother appeared in the family group chat. In the video, Killian was on one knee in the banquet hall next door, slipping the Celestine Ring, the ultimate symbol of a Luna's status, onto my twin sister Daisy's finger. The Pack cheered, and my father stood beside them with a proud expression. Daisy leaned on Killian's shoulder, sobbing, while he gently patted her back as if she were his bride. I gathered the hem of my gown, about to rush over and demand an explanation, but my mother's Mind-link slammed into my thoughts. ""Freya, Daisy is your sister. She's always been frail; she could never keep up with you. Just give her your place this time."" With a trembling voice, I demanded, ""Why did you all hide this from me?"" ""Because you've always fought with Daisy. If we had told you, you would have made a scene. What if her wolfsbane poisoning flared up again?"" ""Your wolf is strong. You can always have another ceremony."" ""We're all family. Don't make this ugly over something so trivial."" My head spun, and I could not utter a single wo

Online Love, Offline Stepbrother

It’s been five years since my mother married into the Sterling crime family, and my relationship with my stepbrother, Louis, is still ice-cold. He’s arrogant, aloof, and wouldn’t give me the time of day. I know better than to even try. Until I saw it: a birthmark on Louis’s body, identical to the one on my online boyfriend, Rowan. I thought about the messages Rowan had sent me every night for the past two years, the ones that made my face flush and my heart race: Baby, I can only fall asleep thinking of you. I need to see you. I’ll show you how much I want you. I’m going crazy thinking about you… I just couldn’t square the man in those messages with the cold-as-ice Louis. To make matters worse, I had just lied to Rowan, telling him I’d failed to get into Harvard and wasn't good enough for him, before breaking up with him. If he finds out it was me who dumped him, I’m pretty sure he’ll tear me to pieces. I was already packing my bags, ready to bolt. But then Louis appeared, blocking my path. He leaned in, his low laugh a menacing rumble in my ear. "Think you can play me and just walk away? Who gave you the balls?"
