21-year-old Celena Smith doesn't fear anything anymore. From being adopted by the American mafia after narrowly escaping death to surviving the torment that same family continuously brings to her. Although one thing manages to shake her up... on the night of her 21st birthday, she finds out she's been arranged to marry the oldest male heir of the Italian mafia. 22 year old Alessio Rossi is the head of the Italian mafia and doesn't have any time for any bullshit. He's power hungry and will do anything to make sure his family legacy continues to stay strong. So, of course, when the offer comes to marry the only daughter of the American mafia, the third most powerful in the world, he doesn't hesitate, no matter the circumstances. Even when Alessio and his brothers aren't fans of outsiders to their family at all. Despite all this, there remains one huge problem... what happens if the mafia world finds out she's adopted, not only them, but Alessio and his brothers also? Is the whole alliance truly a scam? Will walls begin to break and connections form? Will the animosity from both powerful families break Celena? Or will one or two more big secrets shake up everything they all know? ----------------- HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 in Fake Date #57 in enemies to lovers #52 in arranged marriage

"Tell me, Gianna," he says her name like a caress and a threat combined. "Were you disappointed?" He steps closer. Invasive. Possessive. "That I wasn't fighting? That you didn't get to see the Devil play?" His hand leaves her hair to trace her jawline-that same touch from before, the one that made her breath catch. "Because I don't fight for entertainment," he breathes, thumb brushing the corner of her mouth. "I fight when something is worth fighting for. When something is worth taking." His eyes burn into hers. "And I'm trying to decide, kotyonok..." The hand on her jaw tightens just slightly. "Are you worth the war I'd start to keep you?" They say the devil doesn't come with horns. He comes with power, legacy, and a smile that promises ruin. At Halgrave University, last names are weapons and secrets are currency.

And the closer she gets, the more she realizes-loving him isn't dangerous. Surviving him is. Because some men don't fall in love. They claim. They ruin. And once the devil touches you, he never lets go. He is the Future Pakhan of the Bratva While she is the Cosa Nostra Princess.
