An Italian on the run from the Mafia. A reporter seeking the truth. Will they reveal their feelings before danger strikes?

                                                                                              *****
Reclusive writer Luca Rossi is on the run. After writing a bestselling expose on the mafia, Luca needs to fly under the radar. But when a curvy and inquisitive journalist stumbles into his backyard looking for a scoop, all bets are off.

Skylar Shaw doesn't have time for romance. She's too busy making a name for herself at a small paper so she can jump to a better job. Getting an exclusive interview with Luca would be just the career jumpstart she needs. But after spending some time alone with the seductively mysterious author, Skylar discovers the only thing she wants exclusively is Luca. 

Caught up in the story and each other, resistance doesn't stand a chance. But when the Mafia discovers Luca's hideout, Skylar is plunged into the dangerous world - where dark forces now want both of them dead. Now Skylar has to endanger her heart as well as her life...or risk losing a man who could be everything she needs.

COMPLETED!!! :)) Hope you enjoy reading my story xx! This hasn't been completely edited, so I apologise for any mistakes. "Out of the way, Granger." Draco Malfoy pushed past her to the ingredients cupboard in the potions room. "Honestly, how rude could you get, Malfoy?" She pushed him back as she reached for the bottle on the top shelf, but, found herself just ever slightly too short. "Need some help?" The blonde haired boy smirked as he looked her up and down - why was he still here anyways, "Seems like you're a little short." The brunette spun around and glared at him, "Yes, I've noticed that, thank you very much." she pulled out her wand, "Accio," the bottle flew down to her, "And no, I won't be needing your help." "Well, you did say that I was acting rude so I was just offering my help." He shot her a half smirk half smile and walked off to his bench. There was something about that smile that was somewhat genuine, it was a playful smile. Not the hateful smirk he used to give her every time they saw each other, even when they were still kids, no. It was different and Hermione hated it. She hated the way if made her want to smile back, the way it made her want to grin inwardly to herself or the way it tinged her cheeks a rosy colour. Merlin, she hated that stupid smile of his, but at the same time, she just couldn't get enough. \\ there will be slight swearing, just FYI ;) \\ DISCLAIMER: all of the characters, places, drinks and spells (and probably other things) except for the ones I've made up, belong to the amazing JK Rowling!
