The Mafia's Desired Dreams.

Every dreamy girl wants a Mafia man, but the question is, does the Mafia man want you? Luna Defalco is a woman born into the Mafia life. Her father was in the Mafia, her cousins were in the Mafia, her mother died in the Mafia and now, even the man she loves is the almighty Mafia boss himself. There's just one minor hiccup, Zeno Silvestri, Luna's love interest, sees her as nothing more than a childish little sister. To make matters worse, he remains in love with his dead wife. When a threat on both their lives forces them to abscond to an island owned by Zeno, Luna must take this God-given chance to prove to Zeno that she is no longer that little child he's known all his life and make him fall for her womanly charms by all means. What happens when Zeno's brotherly feelings for Luna begin to shift? Can he accept this shift in affection or will he hold on to his dead lover? *** Excerpt “Zeno, what do you think love is?” Luna asked. Her sudden question made him turn from the grasses he was lazily plucking out of the moist earth, to stare at her. “Not what the dictionary tells us, but to you, what is love?" She wasn't joking, he could see it. Wiping the dirt off his palms, he sat himself next to her on the dried log of wood which she sat on. In and out he breathed like he was sincerely thinking about her question. Then without looking at her, his lips parted and he said, “A mirror.” "A mirror?" She asked. "Yes. A mirror.” He nodded and sighed. “Love is a mirror that reflects the deepest part of a person's soul. A mirror that reflects pain and suffering, but also joy and ecstasy, it's a mirror that reflects the heart just the way it is, naked and helpless. It's a mirror that reflects life, and that mirror is made of frail glass, hold it too tight, and it'll shatter, don't hold it tight enough, and it'll slip right out of your fingers and still shatter, if you try to pick up the broken pieces, you'll hurt yourself, that's why it's never easy to pick up the broken pieces, and neither can you just leave it there and get another mirror. Someone else might get hurt. Either way, love is hurtful." She had asked for his own take on love and he had given her the answer. Now she wanted to be bold. “Zeno, I no longer want to be that little baby girl that you adore.” His head turned as his eyes sought to look at her as though that would help him hear better. “Let me help you. I think if we pick up the broken pieces of the previous mirror together, it'll hurt less. And after we've cleared out the shattered pieces, then… then I want to be your new mirror.”

On the Other Side of the Mirror

Have you ever wondered what's on the other side of the mirror? This is not just another sappy coming-of-age story about school and first crushes. It is a brutally honest story about bullying and misunderstanding. About violence that adults often fail to see. About fear that eats you up from the inside. About the struggle – the daily struggle that thousands of teenagers face. It is a dark, poignant story about how lonely you can be in a crowd, how imperceptible the dramas of their children are to adults, and how thin the line between reality and nightmare is. Maja is an ordinary girl who struggles with hate and a lack of understanding every day. She doesn't fit in. She is different. She sees more, feels more, but she can't tell anyone. Sometimes she doesn't even understand herself. Lina – her imaginary friend – has been with her since childhood. At least, that's what the adults say. Because Maja knows that Lina is not imaginary. But if that's the case... who is she really? It is a coming-of-age story, but in a completely different light. A light that barely shines through the darkness. About how easy it is to disappear – and how difficult it is to be noticed. Adults say, “It's just a phase.” Children are silent because no one listens to them. But what if there are things that cannot be ignored? This is a story about what lurks in the darkness – and what happens when the shadow starts to look in our direction. A story in which anyone who has ever felt invisible can recognize themselves. Do you dare to look into the mirror?
