𝗖𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗼, Italian Mafia Heir, has had his eye on Alessandra since they were kids and it's not her beautiful looks that has attracted him, it's the fact that if she asked him to hand over his mafia, he would do it, no questions asked.

She isn't going to let anything get in the way of becoming the Castillo Mafia's first female leader. Even if it means ignoring the feelings she'll soon develop towards Ceaser. He on the other hand is set on doing whatever it takes for Alessandra to be his while in the midst of training to be become the next Italian Mafia leader. Is Alessandra willing to accept the growing desire towards a certain Italian, possibly risking everything she's worked hard for or will Ceaser be the reason she becomes the first powerful female leader the underworld has ever seen?

NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!!! 1st book in the Sternato Series (now called Captivation by Kate Taylor) It's a tale as old as time: a daughter paying for her father's sins. Mia Santoro has spent years distancing herself from her father's world-carving out a quiet life and atoning for the blood on her family's hands. But the mafia never really lets go. When her father is caught embezzling from the family, Mia is taken as collateral-dragged into the world of blood and betrayal she's spent her whole life avoiding. All she has is her unshakable compassion and a fierce determination to protect the people she loves. But nothing could prepare her for him-the man who pulled her into this life. Logan Sternato doesn't believe in mercy. He was raised to see love as a liability, emotion as weakness, and loyalty as a price paid in blood. When he takes Mia, he expects fear. Compliance. Obedience. Instead, he finds softness that disarms him-a quiet strength that unsettles him more than violence ever could. She makes him feel. And for a man like Logan, that's the most dangerous thing of all. Surviving the mafia is one thing. Surviving each other is another battle entirely.

When her new friend Mia drags her to her first ever College party and her path collides with Mia's brother both of them derail.

However when Isabella seeks comfort with tall dark and handsome Drew, Lukas tries everything in his power to keep the two apart. Lukas is trouble, Isabella way too good to be his type, but still they can't stay away from each other. ❄️ "Lukas, are you hugging me? Is coldhearted Lukas hugging a girl?" My drunk tongue blurted out. "Shut up, I'm just keeping you from falling face down in the toilet." He whispered in my ear and I felt his breath against my skin. "Yeah right. You are soooo hugging me." I teased him knowing he was indeed hugging me, but he was too stubborn to admit it. "No, I'm not." He said, pulling me even closer to him before curving his lips against the skin behind my ear. He's such a goner... ❄️ NOTE: 👀 please ignore the way the first ten chapters are written. First book ever and that's noticeable. It gets so much better after those I promise.
