"You're a mafia boss," she uttered as he pulled her closer.
"Yup, boss of the Toffee Boys. Problem?" He said, still tasting her skin. He had a strong hold on her waist and back as his lips grazed the sensitive areas of her chest. She pushed him down on the bed and gave him a deep kiss.
"Not at all," she panted. After his clothes were fully off, she let him enter and leaned back. In all of the ecstasy, James almost missed the tattoo on Penelope's lower hip, a small girl holding a honey stick. On top of her head was the exact same black crown.
"F*ck," he thought before his mind fell back into bliss.

James Brooks is having another good day running his candy shop and gang in 1920's London. That is, until the new girl, Penelope Eve, puts a shop and her gang on his turf.
After they get more than personal with each other, Penelope tries to cut ties with James as they compete in the sugar trials to win territory around the world by having the best product.
But can they stay apart? It seems that way when James starts courting Penelope's worst enemy, Beatrice Wells. Will they come together, or will Beatrice and the world of gangs tear them apart?

History: The rule of Assistants not being allowed to date was made after The Seven Continents had two assistants create tension with each other. The Assistants were lovers and lied to their bosses in the hopes it would bring them down. It almost did, but luckily other assistants exposed them before they tore each other apart. The assistants who were exposed were then publicly executed and the rule was made.

 Beatrice let Dexter take his assistant to a doctor before the conversation continued. When he returned he was still wishing to rip her head off.


"I hate it when accidents happen," said Beatrice, reading the paper. 


  Dexter glared as he sat down. "So what is it you want to talk about so you'll get the hell out of my office?"


"Touchy. As discussed while the bosses are away, your men will play."
