Born into velvet halls and blood-soaked legacies, Alessio Moretti has everything-except certainty about who he wants to be.
As the only son of Theo Moretti, a feared mafia kingpin, and Peter, a sweet yet unpredictable man with autism, Alessio carries the weight of expectations he never asked for. Everyone thinks he'll inherit the family empire. But Alessio isn't sure if he wants a gun in his hand... or peace in his future.
Torn between becoming the next Moretti heir or living a quiet life as a "normal" boy, Alessio's world tilts further when a new bodyguard enters the estate-and Alessio falls for him at first sight. A boy who swore he wasn't gay suddenly finds himself questioning everything.
With family secrets, teenage emotions, and the ever-present shadow of the underworld closing in, Alessio begins a journey of self-discovery. But can love grow in a world built on blood?

The Last Oath
Alessia Moretti has always known her role: the dutiful daughter of one of Italy's most feared mafia bosses, a porcelain jewel locked away in silk and shadow. Her life has been carefully arranged-glittering parties, whispered alliances, and the unspoken truth that her every choice reflects on the empire her father built from blood and fire. But when fate draws her into the path of Dario Vitale, the son of her father's sworn enemy, the fragile order of her world begins to shatter. Dario is everything she has been warned against-ruthless, magnetic, and bound by a family oath to destroy the Morettis at any cost. Their first meeting is a spark, their second a blaze, and soon Alessia finds herself consumed by a passion that is as forbidden as it is irresistible. Their love is a betrayal written in the language of bullets and blood. To be discovered means certain death, not only for them but for everyone caught between their families' feud. Yet secrecy cannot hold forever, and every stolen glance, every midnight encounter, draws them closer to exposure-and to a war that could burn the city to ash. As loyalty and desire wage war in her heart, Alessia must choose: her family's empire, or the man she was never meant to love. But in a world where betrayal is survival and oaths are carved in blood, no choice comes without sacrifice.

Burning for us
In the shadowed alleys of Naples, where power is currency and loyalty is a fragile thread, two lives collide in a storm of secrets, betrayal, and forbidden desire. Dante Moretti is a man born into darkness, the heir to an empire built on blood and fear. Ruthless, calculating, and haunted by the sins of his family, he has spent his life walking the fine line between duty and rebellion. But when Sofia Valenti, a fiery and determined lawyer, steps into his world, she becomes the one thing he cannot control - and the one thing he cannot resist. Sofia has spent her life fighting for justice, but her pursuit of the truth leads her into the heart of the Moretti empire, where danger lurks behind every corner and trust is a luxury she cannot afford. Drawn to Dante despite the warnings in her heart, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies and passion that threatens to consume them both. As the walls of their worlds begin to crumble, Dante and Sofia must navigate a treacherous path of love and survival. With enemies closing in and the weight of their choices bearing down, they will be forced to confront the question: Can love truly conquer all, or will the darkness claim them in the end? This is a story of power and vulnerability, of love forged in the fire of betrayal, and of two souls fighting to rewrite their destinies. Welcome to a world where the line between hero and villain blurs, and where the greatest risk of all is falling in love.Complete![Aurelia Potente ✓ [Unedited]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/301116757-256-k783750.jpg)

An easy target. wouldn't she? --------------------------------------- welcome to my new book. as an autistic/ADHD person myself, I notice a distinct lack of books and films with autistic people in them, and when there is an autistic person featured, it's almost always a straight white man with savant syndrome and they are usually a massively stereotypical version. and I'm not saying that that version is wrong, but not all of us are that stereotyped you see on the television. and then there's the other side they show on the media, the young autistic boys with high sensory needs, who can't talk, or do much for themselves I am not saying that that is wrong. there are real people out there who struggle with that. there are a load of us Autistic people who aren't represented at all by any sort of media so I wanted to write a book just like any other on wattpad. but with a non stereotypical MC #1 Autistic - 15/02/22 #1 lgbtauthor - 16/02/22 #1 autisticwriter - 16/02/22 #1 Writtenwithlove - 16/02/22 #1 Heavythemes - 26/02/22 #1 Specialinterests - 25/03/22 #1 Norwegian - 21/04/22 #2 Youngwriters - 4/08/22 #1 representation - 20/07/23 #1 Norway - 08/08/22 #1 Butterfly - 09/09/22Complete
