A Hades/Persephone retelling. How often do you catch yourself wondering how somebody's touch would feel? How soft their hands would be as they caressed your entire form, how sweet their lips would taste when they descended down to yours, how diabolic the touch would become as the hands would drift lower and lower? Persephone often wondered the same thing. [...] She saw the nymph playfully push the satyr down on the soft grass before straddling him, the sheer fabric of her garment highlighting her graceful movements. She heard her giggling and the satyr's amused growls and her green eyes widened when she saw the satyr's hand wander underneath the nymph's skirt.

The story of the Lucchese family is a tale as old as time. Cast out of their village in Palermo, Sicily, this mafioso clan has secrets that have been buried for years after breaking the rigorous rules of Cosa Nostra. For Niccolo Montanari, former Lucchese, life as the brother and underboss to the notorious leader of their criminal organization and mafia tycoon, has been one for the books. Heinous and unmerciful, he is the one to fear the most. The scars he conveys tell the treacherous stories of a hitman and the traditional curse that has him bound to his brother's hierarchy. With an empire threatened to be destroyed by their enemies and a past very close to exposure that may bring to the surface what lies beneath, the only thing holding this family together is pending catastrophe. Niccolo has a plan. It requires a marriage with the damaged principessa and daughter of the barbarous leader of the Calabrian 'Ndrangeta. But is the proclaimed psycho of the family capable of showing human sentiment, or will this union fail, sending their domain to its pulverizing debacle?
