Serenity Davidson has no time for strays. She's too busy running Greensboro's best soul food catering business and keeping her mama happy. But when they find a starving, half-dead man collapsed on their front porch, Serenity does what she does best: she feeds him. He says his name is Kevin. He says he's an unemployed factory worker with "bad asthma." He is lying. He is Lorenzo Moretti, the ruthless Don of the Sicilian Mafia, battered and hiding in plain sight. He intended to heal, exact his revenge, and disappear. But after weeks of Serenity's pot roast, her warm bed, and her bossy attitude, Lorenzo realizes he has a new addiction. He's not just going to take back his empire. He's taking the cook with him.

When Serena enters a new workplace, she has one rule; stay focused- no matter what. It soon turns out to be easier said than done when she meets her new boss. Valentino is strict, the epitome of difficult and much to her dismay; unbelievably fucking hot. She's determined to ignore the attraction she feels to him for the sake of keeping her job. But what Serena doesn't know is that Valentino can't get her out of his his head. He thinks about her everywhere. He feels captivated by her. He wants her. And he hates every moment of it.

"It's your turn to pleasure me," she whispered breathily. "Um...how?" I asked, referring to the handcuffs that restrained me to the bedposts and the blindfold that concealed my vision. "I can't see...or move." But I quickly learned the answer when she sat upon my face. Ooh. That's how. In that case, yes, Ma'am. I dutifully obliged as any good submissive would, licking and teasing her sex with my tongue. She tasted almost sweet, and I found myself craving her even more. She moaned and sighed in pleasure, writhing atop me. And when her thighs began to tremble violently, I knew she had climaxed. *** "I can fix him." These are the words Addison Miller tells herself when trying to convince her emotionally unavailable best friend, Matt Jones, that they should date. Burned by a cheating ex, he has closed himself off to love. There's just one problem, the sex between him and Addison is steamy, electric, and a whole other level of kinky that he's never experienced before. Neither can walk away from their friends with benefits situation, but while Addison is struggling with the addiction that is her love for Matt, he's battling a dark addiction of his own. Can Addison save him, or will Matt succumb to the demons of his past?

The story is set in early 1990s in a rural area. A bond is formed due to the promise of honour and respect. A marriage out of necessity and maybe a little bit of obsession. A girl filled with the hope of love and a guy completely enamored by her. How will their life unfold? ☆Warning :This story contains mature themes. It is completely fictional and based upon my imagination. It is inspired by the serial named "Begusarai". But only inspired, the story is completely mine. As I said before this is based in a rural area so am just giving you guys a heads up if anybody feels offended. Readers discretion is advised.
