Alessandra Morino has spent her whole life as an assassin, always being a shadow in the dark. Luciano Moretti is a name that is feared all over America and Italy, the whole world in fact. He is the Don of the Italian Mafia. Both are people you do not want to cross. When Alessandra and Luciano team up to bring down a common enemy, sparks fly and not necessarily the good kind too.

She battles  demons that threaten to swallow her whole.
He  is the devil incarnate, searching for his angel.
This is the story of two people who are so different yet so similar, who intrigue each other as much as they intimidate each other. 

'A King is nothing without his Queen. You are far more than my Queen, tesoro.'

La Cosa Nostra

"Where do you think you're going?" I freeze, sighing in defeat. Emilia and Sofia appear out of nowhere just as I was about to tiptoe up the stairs. 


"Uhh-to bed. I'm exhausted. Goodnight." I say quickly hoping to escape but they corner me, blocking my escape route. 


"I'm afraid my brother is gonna have to wait." Emilia says and I look at her confused. 


"You honestly think Luciano's gonna let you sleep in your room tonight?" Sofia says chuckling and I blush. 


"You're adorable. Anyway, when were you planning on telling us that you're dating my brother?" 


Both their eyes widen and Emilia starts cursing her brother. 


"That idiot needs a whack on his head. What the hell is he doing not asking you out?" 


My eyes widen when I realise that they got it wrong and I hurry to correct them. 


"No no. I was the one who wanted to take things slow."
