The characters feel intensely, love deeply and sacrifice all for those they protect. It is an epic tale of star-crossed lovers.However, just like the mafia world, this book is not for the faint of heart. If you do not like profanity, explicitly steamy sex scenes or hot-headed men who enjoy a good torture session…This book is probably not for you.It is intended for mature audiences, ages 18 and over. There are some sensitive scenes that may trigger some readers. Please read with caution.I hope you enjoy the story as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Not because it was with my biggest crush or because it was a special moment that I had always envisioned. No, because it was stolen. Stolen by a boy who was never meant to have it. And for that reason alone, my senseless brain will never let me forget it. As it turns out, I am a sucker for all things forbidden. I was fourteen years old and, in many aspects, your average teenage girl who was possessed by demonic hormones. I snoozed my alarm every morning and had to be dragged out of bed by my mamma. My room never stayed tidy for longer than five minutes and my hair never went the way I wanted it to go. It never mattered how many tutorials or magazine cut-outs I copied. And… I was crazy about boys. No, let me rephrase that. I was crazy about one boy in particular: Davide Acarrdi. He had been my infatuation since I first laid eyes on him—the day he joined my private tutoring group. Yes, that’s right; I was a spoiled, rich, home-schooled child. Not out of choice. I had wanted more than anything to go to a normal school with ordinary teenagers. To have the freedom to mess up, make terrible choices and barely scrape grades once I realised cramming before an exam was the only way I would pass. As the daughter of Northern Italy’s largest and most powerful mafia family’s underboss, the freedom to do as I pleased or go where I wanted was never an option for me. No matter where I went, I was trailed by guards with guns inside their jackets, even if it was just for a stroll with my iPod. My extracurricular activities were severely limited because of my papi, who I loved more than life itself despite his overprotective nature. He had finally caved and allowed me to attend group tutoring classes in Verona because I had made home-schooling a living hell for my family and the teachers. Davide was supposed to be my first kiss. His name was written all over my journals in love hearts. I had our imaginary kids’ names picked out. I had it all planned. He was having his fifteenth birthday party that weekend and had invited me to attend as his girlfriend! We would kiss at the exact moment that the room counted down his birthday at 9.22pm and then he would fall madly in love with me. Don’t you just love the naivety of a love-struck adolescent mind?
