Rumor had spread through the Vittori family that the daughter they had lost years ago had finally been found. The moment I heard, I left the family branch and rushed back to the main estate. My car had barely stopped when a young woman hurried over and grabbed my hand. “So you’re the Vittori family’s adopted daughter,” she said with a smile that looked painfully sincere. “Your dress is so beautiful. It must cost tens of thousands of dollars. You can tell you’ve never really had to worry about anything before. Unlike me. I grew up in places where even finding my next meal was a problem.” For a second, I didn’t understand what she meant. Then her eyes lowered to the only necklace around her neck. “This is the only thing I have from Mother,” she whispered. “Please don’t hate me for wearing it.” The next second, she suddenly grabbed my hand, dragged it up toward her throat, and yanked hard. The necklace snapped. Pearls scattered across the marble floor. “Why would you do that?” she cried, staring at me in shock. “If you hate seeing Mother’s gift on me, I’ll take it off right now. I won’t stay and make things difficult for you. Just please don’t tell Father and Mother. I don’t want them caught in the middle, and I don’t want this family fighting because of me.” She curled into herself on the marble floor, shaking as she cried, while the guests around us immediately turned to stare. I stood there completely stunned. I had imagined a thousand ways I might meet my daughter again. I never imagined she would look me in the eye, mistake me for someone else, and frame me before I had even spoken. Because I was not Valentina. I was her mother.

She had it all not until everything fell apart. Now, the only thing she has left... is a second chance. Aria Richmond was the girl everyone wanted to be very beautiful, rich, and admired. With her flawless looks and queen-bee status, no one dared to cross her path, she was cruel, arrogant and wicked. But when a new girl named Hope enters the scene and steals the attention of the one boy Aria secretly loves, jealousy ignites a cruel plan that spirals far beyond control. One night changes everything. A fire. A fall from grace. A face she barely recognizes. Now scarred, broken, and alone, Aria must face a world that no longer bows to her presence. But beneath the ashes of who she once was lies a girl yearning to be seen not just for her beauty, but for her heart. Beneath Her Scars is a story about pain, healing, and the power of unexpected kindness. It’s about how the ugliest moments in life can lead to the most beautiful transformations.

Shea’s past has left her feeling detached and exposed. Even years later, the echo of old pain still drifts around her. When Her best friend's brother randomly rescues her at a party and takes her home, she can’t help but wonder if this beautiful boy may be able to quiet her fears. Luke hasn’t been able to take his mind off of the troubled quiet girl with a spotty reputation. After a few confusing run-ins and a lot of mixed signals he finally gets to shoot his shot with her. When it matters most can Luke speak louder than her fears? Can Shea be brave enough to face her troubled past, and allow someone else into her life after abuse?

After fifteen years away, I was finally brought back to the DeLuca family. I thought I was returning to my real home. Instead, I walked into a house where the adopted daughter wanted me dead, my father treated me like a burden, and my brothers would rather watch me bleed than make her cry. On my first day back, she set dogs on me. That night, I was dragged to the top of the observatory and forced to apologize to her. When I fell from the tower covered in blood, they still called me a liar. Because in the DeLuca family, I may have been the real daughter by blood— but she was the daughter they loved. She thought she could bully me, poison me, and freeze me to death without consequence. She was wrong. Because the night I nearly died, my mother finally chose me—and turned a gun on the whole DeLuca family.
