Every nerve in my body wanted to reach out and touch it, even though I knew I'd get burned. *************************************************** Pia Callahan always lived a carefree life with no worries.

How many times do I have to remind you?' ⚠️ WHOLESOME & ANGSTY MAFIA ROMANCE ⚠️ After stealing his enemy's daughter, Daniel Volkov never expects to be the one who gets captivated. Clara Rossi was not afraid to fight back. Especially with Volkov, who provoked her like it was an art form. He was chaotic, cunning, and unpredictable. Not to mention, annoyingly charming and sometimes even thoughtful. Except none of that mattered. They had a fractured past. A hopeless future. And a million reasons to never be together. HEARTWARMING REVIEWS FROM MY READERS "This was everything for me, dark romances are sometimes so toxic and I don't understand the need of toxicity in them cuz they can be written beautifully like you wrote it. Starting with Volkov, he's a protector without being controlling, he listens to everyone and never exerts his power on anyone. And Clara, oh how I love her so much, she's such a strong person from the start. She was as much of a protector as Volkov was. This is gonna have a special place im my heart always ♥️" - Maddylewis998-" - This book is very different from what you'd expect a mafia romance or dark romance to be.

Knows when to do what. Our girl knows what she wants." - Mierda_you
