"In this life sometimes all you have is yourself, can't always count on others baby girl."
Aria Russo a young and eager woman who set out to explore the world and travel the seas moving from place to place with no designated stop. She kick starts her adventures in Sicily, Italy. Where she soon comes to realize her short term stay may extend past the time she originally bargained for when she comes across a stony-hearted, merciless, pitiless man that seems to have other plans for Ms. Russo.
Angelo Moretti the current Don of the Sicilian mafia having the sole power to sanction murders inside and outside the family and is known to have the heads of those who even look at him the wrong way. His sadistic enjoyment of watching those who defy him or get in his way be slowly tortured to death brings him nothing but pleasure. He fears nothing and most certainly loves no one as he learned from an early age to never fully trust or count on anyone...even family. That is until he met her.
His name may mean angel, but he is very far from it.
