"I think you enjoyed at least part of your punishment last night, sweetheart."

"No," I whispered, my voice barely audible, my eyes still on his hand, on his fingers as they drew small circles that made my toes curl on my exposed, sensitive skin.

He moved closer to me, making a small gasp push past my lips as I looked up, our gazes colliding.

"Relax. Do you know what the fun part is, Lana? It doesn't always have to be a punishment. It could be something... exciting too. Something you'll most definitely like."

To save her entire family from the Stravkos Mafia - which was the most powerful Mafia family in Tuscany, Italy - Then sixteen-year old Solana Williams agrees to take her sister's place and becomes a sacrificial lamb  - becoming Abel Stravkos' wife. 

Theirs is just a mere marriage of convenience, but now older, wiser and twenty-three, Solana vows revenge for all they did to her family by making Abel's life a living nightmare.

Abel Stravkos does not need a wife, but with his cold-hearted father handling the helm of affairs, he's helpless to object. His heart isn't tied to this strange, beautiful, vengeful woman who's been forced down his throat. But the line between love and hate is thin, and Solana's staunch disobedience to his orders fuels his need to control her in every way possible.

Driven by revenge, and an undeniable passion sizzling just beneath the surface, it's only a matter of time before their attraction for each other becomes apparent, much to the dismay of his father as well as both internal and external forces trying to pull them apart.

Will they ever rise above obstacles lodged in their paths and get their happily-ever-after?

The Mafia's Crazy Obsession

"I've missed you. You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment," she whispered softly, hugging me tight to her. "Do you think there's a camera hidden somewhere? Or a listening device?"


Her question surprised me. I tried to pull away, but she clung to me like an octopus. "Not yet, silly!"


"I'm sorry. To be honest, I really don't know," I whispered back, calmly. "I'm yet to spot one, but I can't assure you that there aren't at all. You know how these people are."


She exhaled, finally pulling back, her gaze still on me. "It's too cool in here. We need some fresh air. Also, the view outside is spectacular. What do you say?"


I knew what she wanted, so I nodded. "Let's go outside, then. We'll sit on the field and talk." I rose up.


We strode outside, hand in hand, away from the house across the field and plopped down on the soft, grass. Helly plucked a grasshopper out of my dress and threw it away. "Grasses would've been perfect without these bugs."


Solana - What If?
