Temptation

His eyes, cold and calculating, watch my every move. "Careful, mia cara. You wouldn't want to lose another person you care for to the West Coast Mafia."

After the death of both her parents, Diha and her sister are taken in by one of their parents' close friends. They should have been taken in by their aunt and uncle. They should have moved across the country to New York. They should have died, too. All Diha wants now is to move on. She doesn't want her parents' death to keep sucking her into the past, but the nightmares only seem to get worse, pulling her deeper and deeper into the places she's been so desperately trying to avoid.

Allesio is next in line to take over for the West Coast Mafia. Over the years, their mafia has grown stronger and they've even gotten the police under their control, ready to fight for their cause: to bring down the East Coast. Trained from a young age, Allesio is the of the best boxers and since his father decided to teach him a permanent lesson for stepping out of line when he was 9, no one has beaten him in a fight. He's strong, cold, emotionless, not once letting a woman into his life.

And when Diha Perez bumps into Riverside Academy's notorious bad boy, Allesio García, bad mouths him and dumps her milk shake on him on the one day he really shouldn't be messed with, destruction, war, and maybe temptation is written in the stars. Fate has decided. The moon and sun have placed in their bets. And everyone is watching.
