Mia Rossi grew up believing her protective older brother, Luciano, was simply family - the one person she could always cling to when the world scared her. But the truth shatters everything: Luciano isn't her brother.
He's her biological father.
The revelation pulls Mia into a world she was never meant to see - a world of mafia threats, hidden loyalties, and a love so fierce it terrifies her.
At twelve years old, during the darkest night of her young life, Mia curls trembling against her mama's bare chest, skin-to-skin, while danger circles outside their home.
Her fists clench. Her breath stutters.
"Mama... don't let anyone take you... or Papa... away from me."
And her parents hold her close - because in a life ruled by blood and violence, Mia is the one thing they will protect at any cost.
