Il s'agit de l'histoire imaginaire d'un jeune homme qui, après la mort tragique de ses parents a décidé d'intégrer une unité spéciale de lutte contre le crime, dénommée Bureau d'Enquête Scientifique et Technique en abrégé le BEST, pour rechercher et traduire en justice les assassins de ses parents.

Blurb She wanted love. She wanted freedom. But what she got instead was heartbreak in its cruelest form. This is Alessia Marino’s story. Born into a ruthless mafia family, Alessia was suffocating under their rules and expectations. All she ever wanted was a life that was hers—to love freely, to breathe without fear. So she ran. She changed her name to Sienna Johnson, determined to start over and live like a normal woman. And for a while, she thought she’d found it all. A devoted husband, Gabriel. A sweet four-year-old daughter they’d adopted. And a best friend, Sylvia, who felt like the sister she never had. But paradise shattered in an instant. The truth hit her like a knife to the chest—Sylvia and Gabriel had been lovers all along, and the little girl she adored wasn’t adopted at all… she was theirs. Broken. Betrayed. Shattered beyond repair. But fate wasn’t done with her yet. When Desmond Blackwell, Gabriel’s powerful rival, offers her a chance at revenge, Alessia takes it without hesitation. Together, they plot to destroy the man who destroyed her. But the deeper she gets, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull she feels toward Desmond—dark, magnetic, and dangerous. And when the truth about who Desmond really is begins to unravel, Alessia realizes she might be walking straight into a trap… one that could cost her not just her heart, but her life.

“But…” I choked out, pain spiking through my chest. “Please Kael, you can’t—” “You’d be surprised at the things I can and would do to you if you don’t fuck off right now.” His breath was suddenly in my face. “you know what? I Kael Thorne, future Alpha of the hallow pack, reject you.” Next thing I knew, I was knocked on my ass in front of his study and the door slammed hard in my face. Axl was as impressionable as it gets with an ego the size of an ice boulder on future Alpha Prince Kael. In her head, once she grows older, she will marry the prince of her Kingdom who would love her as much as she'd loved him since she was a child... Basically a typical case of delulu. But what she didn't expect was carrying a child for the Prince who was disgusted by her. Would she run away with the baby or fight for her space in his heart?

Mein Ehemann Tobias Schmidt liebte mich abgöttisch. Alle sagten, er sei der perfekte Ehemann. Doch er hatte mich dreimal verraten. Das erste Mal war vor drei Jahren. Sein bester Freund Lukas Klein starb, um ihn zu retten. Ohne mein Wissen heiratete Tobias Lukas’ Freundin Sophie Lange. Völlig gebrochen wollte ich gehen. Noch in derselben Nacht brachte er Sophie außer Landes, kniete dann vor mir nieder und flehte verzweifelt: „Mia, Lukas ist meinetwegen gestorben. Ich muss mich um seine Witwe kümmern. Diese Heiratsurkunde ist nur eine Absicherung für Sophie. Sobald ich Lukas’ Tod gerächt habe, werde ich mich von ihr scheiden lassen! Die Einzige, die ich liebe, bist du!“ Diesmal verzieh ich ihm. Ein Jahr später verkündete Tobias auf einer Pressekonferenz öffentlich, dass Sophie die Ehefrau des Familienoberhaupts sei. Er erklärte mir: „Sophie ist die einzige Tochter der Mafiafamilie Lange. Durch unsere Allianz wollen wir Lukas’ Tod rächen! Ich habe mit ihr vereinbart, dass wir uns scheiden lassen, sobald wir die Mörder zur Strecke gebracht haben – dann heirate ich dich sofort!“ Und ich glaubte ihm wieder. Vor einem Jahr wurde er auf einem Empfang unter Drogen gesetzt und verbrachte eine Nacht mit Sophie. Er verschwieg mir die Wahrheit, bis ich ihn vor zwei Wochen zufällig im Krankenhaus sah, wie er sie bei einer Schwangerschaftsuntersuchung begleitete. Er senkte den Kopf, wagte nicht, mich anzusehen, und sagte leise: „Mia, das war ein unglücklicher Zufall. Sobald das Kind da ist, schicke ich sie weg. Meine Eltern werden sich um das Baby kümmern. Sie werden dir niemals begegnen!“ Unter dem Vorwand der Liebe brachte Tobias mich dazu, immer wieder nachzugeben. Doch nun wusste ich, dass es keine Zukunft mehr für uns gab. Es war an der Zeit zu gehen.
