Aaron Russo - Don of the Russo mafia. "To kill or be killed" He had many women in his life but the one thing he didn't do was love or relationships. He said it was a weakness, something people can exploit and hold against you, something he can't have being the head of the mafia. His main objectives are making money, killing traitors and over powering every other mob. That's until he laid eyes on her. Aaron Russo may not do love or relationships, but he knew she was going to be his. She was made for him. Florence Stan - First year uni student. Finally away from strict parents and boyfriend. Studying, making friends and partying is on her agenda for the next three years while she stays in accommodation. She wanted to see what she'd been missing over the years when her father wouldn't allow her to go out, that's untill she ends up at the wrong club at the wrong time. His club. Little did she know the "freedom" she thought she'd just gained would disappear once again. She would no longer be her father's property but his. •• "Well you didn't think I'd just sit here, accept your deal and fall at your knees begging for you to be with me forever, did you?" I smile at her causing her smile to drop. "Don't answer that, you proved you were a freak when you kidnapped me. Anyways, since I have lived with my father for 18 years, I know what men like you and him are like, there's no way for me to get out of this. So, for the next two years I will do everything to make you hate me, I will make you wish you never brought me into your life. By time It gets to the end you will be begging my father to take me back." I slowly get up and walk around the table till I'm right in front of her. Her breathing hitches as I sit on the desk with my hands on my knees, bent down inches away from her face "Princess, I don't beg, the only person who will be begging is you when you want me to fuck that sweet little pussy of yours. Don't make empty threats again

Gracelyn Pearce: The last two things I expect to happen on my twenty-fifth birthday are to catch my (now ex) bodyguard for stealing and then find out my stepdad's been arrested for fraud. To top it off, my (also now ex) boyfriend breaks up with me following my stepdad's scandal. My mother hires me a new bodyguard-who happens to be the same man I randomly roped in to be the driver of my getaway car during an attempt to escape the paparazzi. Yep. Go me. Sure, he's attractive, but what good is an attractive face if his personality is like that of a grumpy bear who's just been woken up from hibernation?

So when I agreed to be billionaire heiress and actress Gracelyn Pearce's new bodyguard, I should have known that it would be a recipe for disaster-she's stubborn, she's infuriating as she is breathtaking, and above all, she's very much off limits. Yet the more time I spend with her, the more I find myself unable to resist the woman who's meant to be nothing more than my client. I want her. I crave for her. Even if I can't have her. And when a mysterious stalker enters Gracelyn's life, I'll do anything to protect the woman I've fallen so hard for.
