But everything changes when a random grocery store run puts him face-to-face with Kai - and her wide-eyed little girl calling him "Mister with the tattoos ." He's never chased a woman. She's not impressed by his charm . When Crews mom books him an appointment where Kai works unknowingly , Crew walks into the spa for a "facial"... and walks out with something he never expected: interest. Real, inconvenient, soul-tugging interest. Now two guarded hearts from two different worlds are on a slow collision course. But the streets don't let go easy. And neither do exes who still want control. Can a woman who just wants peace love a man born in chaos? Or will their worlds burn before they ever blend?

Mirabella Alexandra Smith, a broken 16-year-old girl, grew up with nothing but pain-abusive parents, bullies, and a heart that felt unworthy of love. But when she ran away from it all, she crossed paths with the Spanish Mafia. The Rodriguez family took her in, taught her everything she needed to know when you're in the mafia, and made her feel like she finally belonged. But when she fell for Alejandro Rodriguez, her world shifted. One conversation may just change everything. Could she be the Lost Italian Mafia Princess, the one she never knew she was? Or is it all a dangerous game? This is her story. ______________________________________________ The Romano Family is the most powerful family, not just in Italy but in the whole mafia world. A lot of people may think they are happy because they have everything anyone could wish for. But are they? No. They aren't even the tiny little bit happy. Some drowned themselves to work. Some never spoke to anyone. Some became closed off. Some cared too much, afraid to lose someone again. Some tried hiding their pain behind their smiles. But as the light that's been snatched away from their grasp comes back, would they finally have a glimpse of happiness? Secrets will be revealed. Feelings would come out. Enemies would hunt them down. But the question is, could they survive? (This book DOESN'T CONTAIN SMUT) (This book is more of a family and romance book than action)

Now baby would you ride for me?
