It was the winter of 1607 and Sterling-Blue was a kingdom with a King, fifty-nine year old Shawn Norvic Barton. And, they were always in a constant war with another kingdom named Droonsville. The war between the two empires had been going on for at least the past 20 + years. So, he sent out an ad in the paper and hired an anonymous man to be a bodyguard to keep an eye on his daughter, the at the time eighteen year old Scarlet Rosalyn Barton, and to keep the premises safe as well. It's been a little bit and now Shawn's daughter Scarlet is now twenty years old. All she knew about her body guard is that his name was Henry and that he lived in a cabin just outside the town, and he only spoke when spoken to. Fast forward a few weeks Scarlet's dad had gone away overseas on business, she knew he'd be gone for a few months, and at this point Scarlet was used to it at this point. But, late one night Scarlet thought she's alone in the castle for the night, and what will happen when the cold winter night takes a turn? Read to find out what happens to Scarlet.

Ariana Romano and Adriano Russo were once inseparable. Childhood best friends. First loves. Each other's entire world. Then one day, Adriano disappeared without a single goodbye. No explanation. No warning. No second chance. For ten years, Ariana learned how to survive without the boy who shattered her heart, building walls around herself and burying the memories of the only person she ever truly loved. But fate has other plans. At a prestigious Mafia Gala, beneath glittering chandeliers and watchful eyes, Ariana comes face to face with the ghost of her past. On a secluded balcony overlooking the city, Adriano Russo reappears after ten years-and he's no longer the boy she once knew. He's dangerous. Powerful. Feared. And determined to win her back. As old feelings resurface and enemies emerge from the shadows, Ariana and Adriano find themselves caught in a deadly game of loyalty, betrayal, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. But some wounds don't heal. Some promises are impossible to forget. And some loves are worth fighting for. Can Adriano earn Ariana's forgiveness after a decade of silence? Can they protect each other when danger lurks around every corner? Or is it already too late for the love that once felt destined? In a world ruled by the Italian Mafia, where loyalty is everything and trust can get you killed, Ariana and Adriano are about to discover that their story is far from over. Because sometimes your first love becomes your greatest weakness... and your only reason for survival.
