Do you ever wonder what your life will be like when you cross paths with your arch nemesis? Yes? Well buckle up, it’s a wild ride.

Katarina Montenegro is what everyone would simply call spoiled. She was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth and a custom Tiffany’s diamond tiara on her head. She was referred to as The Spanish Princess by everyone who knew of her existence, and she revelled in the nickname. She was young, cunning, and powerful. There was nothing Katarina wanted that she didn’t have. 

On the other hand, Marco DiBiancci was known by everyone as The Emperor Lynx, due to his ability to see through deception as easily as he could breathe. Unlike Katarina, who lived a mainly pampered life, Marco was raised by a strict father who wanted him to be in the front lines of the job since he was fourteen years old. He had spent his years getting his hands dirty and washing them again. He was young, strong, and powerful. There was nothing Marco wanted that he didn’t take for himself. 

The common ground? They were both set to inherit their father’s thrones as King and Queen of their respective organised crime kingdoms. 

The problem? Marco wanted Katarina, or more importantly, he wanted what she was set to lay claim on. Even though the two had never met, Marco was determined to get his hands on her by all means necessary, and that’s how we’re here.

This is how I, Katarina Montenegro, was kidnapped by the Italian mafia.

Kidnapped by the Italian Mafia

"Miss VanBurren, someone is here to see you about the bartending position." Dominico drew my attention away from the computer monitor when he walked into my office, all composure and slick hair. 


In the six months since our debut of the membership club Cinque, business had been booming in a way that I never thought possible, given the short amount of time we'd been up and running. 


My new employees were fitting right in, each of them working earnestly to earn their freedom. I felt so proud. Also, the job Marco had assigned me to do was going smoothly, and from the two shipments were had received, millions worth of product had been distributed and sold, as promised. 


Speaking of, Marco had a big hand to play in the club's success, because with every success I handed him, he gave me back customers and money in bounty. The one thing he hadn't given me, or more like I hadn't taken, was Lina.
