Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed.

The family even owns one of the world's top wine companies. Although, there is more than meets the eye with the famed family. One night the Villadas meet and negotiate a deal with Don Giuseppe Sorrentino of Cosa Nostra and his eldest son and heir, Niccolò. Protection for the famed family in exchange for a percentage of revenue for their wine company. Like a moth drawn to a flame, Catalina instantly catches Niccolò's attention. He becomes intrigued by the calculated blonde. There was more to her, so much more than she showed to the cameras. The two end up conversing that night, and things go surprisingly well. Except for the hint of sexual tension lingering in the air, Catalina didn't pay too much attention to it. Although she never anticipated that in three years, she'd meet Niccolò again in Ibiza. Or the whirlwind romance that would form between the two of them and the obstacles that would try to pull them apart.
