'You're not going anywhere, Clara. You're not running away from this.' Everything I felt for him, everything that could ruin me, raged to rip apart and crash at his feet. He gently lifted my chin with one finger, his mouth hovering over mine. 'I'm the last person in this world you can hide from. 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. Daniel was a like a fresh Breeze. He has issues but knows his boundaries. These are the men you want to be with. Gentlemen but know when to not be one. And our female MC. My girl has brains. Knows when to do what. Our girl knows what she wants." - Mierda_you

Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear.
