About
Luca
From foster kid to mafia boss. I was the undeserving king to the throne, forced into this role after my estranged father’s death. I gave up everything to build my empire. Up until this point, nothing else mattered. That was until I kidnapped my enemy’s daughter, and she captured my heart. Rosa Falcone. il mio tesoro. When fate drags Rosa back into my world, I can't make the same mistake again. Even when the future of the mafia depends on my arranged marriage. I still can’t resist her. She is mine. There’s no way in hell I can watch her marry another man. Even if it means starting a war.
Rosa
The wild child, the spoilt mafia princess. No one understood my pain, so I hid behind the mask. That was until Luca Russo stole me from my life, only to put me back together again. I gave him my heart, and he let me go—back into the arms of my abuser. This time, I don’t have anyone to protect me. Or so I thought. Luca might not be mine to keep, but that doesn’t stop me from falling deeper. But when the world is against us, how much would we be willing to sacrifice to have our happily ever after?
