Studio 7 : Studio 7 Shadows of the Past - Part 2
Studio 7 – Shadows from the Past (Part 2)
A Sexy Crime Thriller with Bite, Sass, and a Touch of Gunpowder
Alexandra always thought she was just your average espresso-addicted, commitment-phobic Italian-American with a tendency to fall for men her therapist would describe as “emotional grenades.” Raised in Boston by her combat-boot-wearing, knife-collecting grandmother after a "totally suspicious but officially accidental" family tragedy, Alexandra’s childhood was a mix of Sunday lasagna and sniper drills. Because what else screams “family bonding” like target practice between tiramisu and trauma?
But when Nonna Katerina kicks the bucket (probably not naturally, but who’s counting?), Alexandra’s perfectly chaotic life does a full pirouette into complete insanity. A spontaneous grief-fueled trip to Venice unearths secrets no one puts on ancestry.com. her bloodline isn’t olive oil and biscotti—it’s mafia royalty with a side of murder and a sprinkle of blackmail.
Now, in Part 2, Alexandra has more than jet lag and a hangover to worry about. She’s dodging hitmen, flirting with danger (and literally everyone), and uncovering truths about her family that make “The Godfather” look like a family sitcom. Armed with her Nonna’s shady legacy and enough charm to disarm both bullets and billionaires, Alexandra is finally stepping into the stilettos of her destiny.
Her combat training? Surprisingly useful.
Her moral compass? Slightly broken, but stylish.
Her love life? A hot mess of triangles, squares, and possibly pentagrams.
Enter drop-dead gorgeous, officially her bodyguard, unofficially… well, let’s just say boundaries are being tested. Alexandra isn’t just surviving—she’s thriving in the most glamorous, dangerous way possible. From passionate entanglements to family vendettas, from luxury yachts to secret bank vaults, this girl’s life is now a mix of bullets, backstabbing, and boudoirs.
As the shadows of her grandmother’s past start creeping into her present, Alexandra begins to realize that Katerina’s secrets were more than just skeletons in the closet—they're entire cemeteries with a waitlist. And if she wants to protect the people she loves (and occasionally sleeps with), she’ll have to outsmart a new wave of enemies armed with power, lies, and probably excellent tailoring.
Sinful. Suspenseful. And just the right amount of scandalous.
Studio 7 – Shadows from the Past (Part 2) is your next obsession—a steamy, funny, high-stakes crime thriller where secrets seduce, lovers betray, and one fiery woman proves that you don’t have to be a cold-blooded killer to play dirty… but it helps if you have killer cheekbones.
She came for closure.
She stayed for the chaos.
And maybe—just maybe—she’ll walk away with power, purpose…
…and one hell of a wardrobe.
