Bound by a generations-old agreement between her parents and the influential family of Zalvier, she didn't expect that she would be compelled to enter into a marriage. Vinxer Zalvier, the heir of the Zalvier family and a shrewd mafia lord, became her prospective husband.

Lianelle, on the other hand, was driven by her culinary dreams and the pursuit of her own destiny. Their union seemed doomed from the start. Their personalities clashed like fire and ice, arguments ignited like wildfire-yet, beneath the surface, there was an undeniable tension, a magnetic pull neither could deny. In this tale, whose vulnerabilities are likely to be exposed? This is a dance on the edge of a knife, a journey through a world marked by darkness, desires, and intrigue.

"The Stripper and the Mob Boss" ❦ A sickness of Anastasia's sister leads her towards a huge debt. When her friend comes to her with a solution that would make her go from rags to riches, Anastasia immediately accepts even if that meant stripping. Everything was running smoothly until she was met with the scary notorious mafia leader, Valentino Romano. Valentino was a man with no emotion, but when he was met with Anastasia, he knew that he wanted the blonde gorgeous stripper---at no matter what costs. ❦ "You're not allowed to touch me. It's against Mr. Romano's rules," she said, her back towards him. Her long legs were on full display with her high black heels only making them appear longer. "You must be new. What's your name?" He chuckled out, licking his lips. Valentino grabbed her hips, turning her towards him as his eyes settled on her breasts. Slowly, his eyes trailed up to meet her eyes. "Anastasia. Who are you?" she asked, fear clear in her eyes as she stared. He smirked. "Mr. Romano. Now, open your legs."
