"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.

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

"Did you order the fucking hit-and-run? Did you order them to kill Wyatt?"

Andrew rolled his eyes, exhaling. "You're starting to be a pain in the arse. What happened to my Hell baby? My vengeful, little spitfire? Now you're this goody-two-shoes bitch, and it's grating on my nerves."

"No, you shut up." He took her glass and finished it before slamming it down on the coffee table. "You may be over everything, and forgiven everyone, but I'm not. There's absolutely no way in hell that I'm going to let my father hand everything to my dumb excuse of a brother. No. Fucking. Way. And you two ladies better stay out of my way."

The door flew open then, and Abel came charging in like a storm, his face a mask of fury as he grabbed Andrew and slammed him against the closest wall, his forearm crushing his neck. "You piece of shit," he spat. "How the hell did you get in here?"
