A young girl, Valentina Luciana De Rossi had it rough.
Never in her life has she been treated fair. After the death of her mother, and the murder of her beloved father and brother at the age of 6, she was cast way to England, from her home in Italy. She was envied upon, all her life however. She had the most beautiful face, and nothing less of her body. She was always targeted by older men, only at the age of 21.
Damien Black, however, had anything he wanted, strolling through life and his deeds with ease.
He had the face of an Adonis. A body perfectly sculpted by God himself, and riches that would give a grand meal to every soul in the world. He had women falling at his feet, and men wanting to be him. He took advantage of this, and he had a reputation. Being the son of well pronounced billionaire Joseph Black, and heir to the company, Black Industry, he had big shoes to fill. He was cold, ruthless, and charming. Damien took his work seriously and took pride in it. HE disregarded women and had no shame, so what would he want with a castaway?
What happens when these two cross paths?
Until Damiano died my sins only consisted of coming home late and sneaking out. Now I have killed and tortured my way to the top, and uncovered a world I didn't know existed. A world that was supposed to be long gone.
A world where kill counts and cruelty decided your place in the hierarchy.
A world in which crime and rigged systems were as common as breathing air.
The underworld.

A small smirk showed in his lips and I Iet out an annoyed huff.
"So what your saying amore is that you missed me?" His manner was cocky but not in the annoying way that it usually is.
"No" my voice was almost a whisper.
"I don't believe that" he said now taking another step forward pushing me so my back was on the door.
His scent was intoxicating and his presence pushed me into a new type of high.
"Do you want this?" His voice was a whisper now matching mine.
I nodded not being able to form any words.
"Say it" he demanded.
"Yes" I whispered.
Chiara Moretti has made her way up in the underworld, a deadly assassin who has a personal vendetta against the don of the Italian mafia, Valentino Hart.
She has devised a plan, in which she finds herself living under the same roof as Valentino.
While sparks fly, secrets spill, and the past is slowly uncovered.
