Venus Bellingham is a rookie police officer from a renowned family of extremely talented police officers. But she lacks even the basic skills needed to do the job: she can't shoot a gun without missing her target; she can barely hold her own in a fight; and she always ends up landing herself in trouble. As a result, Venus' father scorns her for being a disgrace to the family.

To win her father's approval, she takes on a life threatening case by herself, without telling her superiors. She goes undercover to investigate the most dangerous mafia gang, The Inferno, while pretending to work for them.

But the stakes are high: risk being found out by the The Inferno, and their leader, Danté, will kill her. If she is found out for going undercover against orders, she could lose her badge, which is the only way she has to make her father proud.

She makes unexpected friends along the way, including the funny and soft hearted gentleman from The Inferno, Nick, who makes it clear from the first moment he met her that he genuinely cares about her - maybe more than she realizes.

Or, the stoic and mysterious Damian, also part of The Inferno, who has his frozen heart melted by Venus, bringing out the warm, soft version of himself that he hides well.

And then there is the handsome and intriguing leader, Danté, who even threatens to kill her the first night that they meet. Though he infuriates (and often scares) Venus, she finds herself drawn to him, for he was more than the monster she initially thought him to be. He would burn the world for the one he loved, and those that try to take her from him.

As she uncovers the secrets of the mafia and a dark truth hidden within the police, Venus will face danger and broken trust, making her question who the real bad guys were; and where her loyalties should lie. 

She learns from the mafia how to become a stonger person and what it means to be seen for the person she is instead of the person she needs to be. She might be stronger than she knows...

As Venus unravels the mysteries of both worlds, will the newfound strength she gains be enough to face the challenges that lie ahead? And will an enemy turn out to be the one to kindle romance in her tattered heart?

Mafia & Princess

Memories can be blissful; reminding you of beautiful moments in your life that made your heart jump with joy.

But memories could also be cruel; when happy memories could bring a pang of regret and sorrow, accompanied by the unavoidable feeling that you would never be able to experience those memories in waking life ever again.

I wanted to curse at the memories of me and Nick, which were resurfacing with the goal to cause me pain.

The time when we played the piano back at Danté's mansion in Amber City, our fingers flying across the keys with light-heartedness and joy as we laughed in pure glee.

All the times in which he stood up for me back when Danté was still just the scary leader of The Inferno - a monster who was using me to get revenge against my father.

When no one trusted me, Nick did. He was the first person to see my true self.

He was the first person to love me.
