21-year-old Celena Smith doesn't fear anything anymore. From being adopted by the American mafia after narrowly escaping death to surviving the torment that same family continuously brings to her. Although one thing manages to shake her up... on the night of her 21st birthday, she finds out she's been arranged to marry the oldest male heir of the Italian mafia. 22 year old Alessio Rossi is the head of the Italian mafia and doesn't have any time for any bullshit. He's power hungry and will do anything to make sure his family legacy continues to stay strong. So, of course, when the offer comes to marry the only daughter of the American mafia, the third most powerful in the world, he doesn't hesitate, no matter the circumstances. Even when Alessio and his brothers aren't fans of outsiders to their family at all. Despite all this, there remains one huge problem... what happens if the mafia world finds out she's adopted, not only them, but Alessio and his brothers also? Is the whole alliance truly a scam? Will walls begin to break and connections form? Will the animosity from both powerful families break Celena? Or will one or two more big secrets shake up everything they all know?

❝Come on beautiful, how long are you going to pretend that I'm not the reason for that❞ His eyes glide down my body and stop at my thighs that had mindlessly pressed themselves together. "When you stop pretending I'm not the reason for that" I gesture towards his legs this time, his thighs parted and the hard erection showing through his pants. I can't help but clear my throat at the print. He stands up, with no shame. Not even trying to cover or adjust himself, he only walks towards me as I sit on the chair in his office. With the nudge of his foot, he parts my legs so he can step between them, lifting my chin with his index finger and I meet those enchanting eyes. He leans closer to my ear and his hand finds its place on my thigh, causing my skin to become warmer.
