When Lyra's life is brutally turned upside down, she's left with nothing but the river that saves her from certain death. Waking up with memory loss in the village of Oakdale, she was adopted and named Kyra, she became a talented artist and cook, hiding her painful past behind a mask of creativity and determination. But the shadows of her past refuse to stay buried, as the ruthless Sophia, who will stop at nothing to keep her secrets safe, continues her deadly schemes. Meanwhile, Stephen, the man she loved, is consumed by guilt and a relentless search for Lyra.
As Kyra, (once Lyra) and Stephen's paths converge once more, they must confront the darkness that haunts them both and face the evil that threatens to destroy their lives. In the tale of "Taming the Godfather," two broken souls must confront their past, and Lyra playing the big role of taming the godfather, Stephen, with the power of love.

Taming the Godfather

Stephen smirked as he gazed out at the city skyline from his penthouse apartment. He had returned to his old ways, leaving the pretence of a reformed man behind. Kyra's rejection had stung, but he had quickly bounced back, reclaiming his title as the city's most eligible bachelor. 


His phone buzzed with messages from admirers, and his calendar was filled with dates and social events. He had resumed his lucrative loan-sharking business, using his charm and good looks to lure in vulnerable clients. 


As he poured himself a glass of scotch, he couldn't help but think of Kyra. She had thought she was too good for him, but he had proven her wrong. He was back on top, living the life he loved. 


The doorbell rang, and Stephen smiled, expecting another conquest. He opened the door to find a stunning woman, her eyes sparkling with excitement. 


"Hey, handsome," she purred, slipping into his arms.
