When a cold-hearted assassin who has suppressed every single emotion, kills someone the Mafia didn't want dead, there is a slight battle for power, but when Don Sandrino, the head of part of the mafia, realises the man she killed was evil, he starts searching for her, wanting the infamous 'Thorned Rose' assassin on his side to try and take back his birthright of being the boss of bosses that his uncle stole away from him.

Savannah is bored as an assassin working for a company, just killing random politicians, and wants something exciting, and that something is in the form of Don Sandrino.

There is drama, tragedy, fighting and romance littering every chapter. The only thing is, Savannah doesn't know how to love, she has suppressed that emotion, along with every single other emotion, and she doesn't know who she really is as she has had to live under alias names for so long, always pretending to be someone else. She just does not know who the real Savannah is.

Can Don Sandrino pull it out of her? Can he make her love again? Or will their dysfunctional romance end in death and heartbreak?

***
"You know, anyone who calls me Fabricio usually ends up dead, or really hurt, anyone who dares call me Pugliesi gets their tongue chopped off and forced to swallow it, then they die," said a voice from behind me.
"Well, Fabricio Sandrino Pugliesi Russo, what are you going to do to me now?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows.
"Is playing chicken one of your favourite games?" he asked, laughing.
"Yes, because I always win." He laughed again. What the fuck is going on? I never make people laugh, well I never have anyone around to talk to except Nadia, who never laughs at anything, but still.
"I'm waiting for you to chop my tongue out, Fabricio," I was toying with him, seeing whether his threats were real.

THIS IS AN ACTION ROMANCE, WITH GRUESOME SCENES AND SEXUAL SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!! ⚠️

What happens when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time? She is just at the beginning of her year-long world travels when she falls into the hands of him - an Italian mafia Don driven by the thirst for answers and revenge. When there is something else thrown into the mix - obsession. But is it the healthy kind? -- "You're a psychopath. You're sick!" His jaw clenches and with a sudden burst of rage, he lashes out. His hand collides with the nearby table, where the untouched food lies on top, sending it crashing to the ground in a cacophony of splintering wood and shattering ceramic. "You've brought nothing but trouble since the moment you walked into my life," he seethes, his voice dripping with venom. Each word is punctuated by the clenching of his fists, his knuckles turning white with tension. "And now you have the audacity to stand here and fucking disrespect me like that?" I flinch at the force of his words, the reality of my situation crashing down on me like a tidal wave. My heart pounds in my chest, each beat a reminder of the perilous ground I stand on. "I walked into your life?! You took me away from mine!" My voice quivers with anger, my hands trembling at my sides. The tension crackles in the air like electricity, a volatile energy that threatens to ignite at any moment. His eyes narrow into icy slits, his features contorted with fury. "I feel sorry for you. I'm probably the most excitement you've ever had in your pathetic life. You're nothing but a spoiled little girl, playing at being tough," he snarls. I meet his glare with a steely resolve, refusing to let his words pierce the armour I've built around myself. "At least I'm not a soulless bastard who gets off on power and control," I retort, my voice dripping with disdain. "You're nothing but a coward hiding behind a facade of strength." --
