Miss Scarlet Santoro knows better than to get involved with the Mafia. But the night she witnesses something she was never meant to see, the Mafia gets involved with her. Dragged into a world of bullets, blood oaths, and buried secrets, Scarlet is given one condition for survival: stay under the protection of Angelo Don De Luca-the cold, calculating king of the underworld who clearly wishes she didn't exist. Angelo is everything she hates. Scarlet is everything he doesn't have time for. He insults her. He controls her every move. He makes it very clear: she is a problem he intends to get rid of...once he's done keeping her alive. But when Scarlet finally comes face to face with the father, she's spent her whole life hating, the truth detonates everything she thought she knew. Old lies resurface. New enemies close in. And the line between captor and protector, hate and desire, begins to blur in dangerous ways. With a war brewing in the shadows and every alliance built on betrayal, Scarlet and Angelo are forced to trust the one person they swore to never need-each other. In a world where love is a weakness and loyalty can kill you; one question remains: Will they burn the Mafia to the ground to save each other... or will the Mafia Wars consume them both?

I nodded softly looking at his eyes wich were attached to my lips. „I can't wait to see you in them",he whispered against my lips before placing soft kisses on the edge of them. I closed my eyes breathed out loud in pleasure. His teasing wasn't as useful as he thought. My patience won. „Your patience is kiling me","The contract",I whispered."Fuck that contract"he bursted and pulled me closer by the waist before pressing his lips on mine. ---------------------------- Delana Celine Harvey a 18 year old girl, faces the hart consequences of losing her supporting and loving family due to a car accident.
