Irina Petrova is an 18-year-old girl with dreams that reach above the stars. She wants to be the ordinary girl, something quite impossible in the family she's born in. 

Blood, money and power. 

That's what she's destined for, whether she likes it or not. 

The Petrova family is slowly drowing. The solution? Form an alliance. 

Every time Irina meets the new Capo dei capi, Marcello "Ghost" Armani, sparks fly, whether she likes it or not. But what she most of all doesn't like is that he's engaged to her sister.

111 parts Complete Mature
Victoria 'Ria' Winters is the youngest out of all her quadruplet sisters; the one with the dark humor and haunting past. That's why she worked so hard for scholarships abroad to get as far away as possible. All her sisters had their own challenges, but nothing compared to Ria's past. When a traumatic event when she was 11 repeated itself when she was a freshman in college, it nearly destroyed her like the 1st time. She's learned from an early age to trust no one. Especially not men. After an assault by Vlad Wolves, the younger brother of the star hockey captain Nikolai Wolves, Ria was dragged through a brutal court case that nearly ended her. Vlad, a master manipulator and narcissist, turned the tables, leaving Ria to bear the blame and forcing her to transfer schools to escape the shame. Now, three years later, Ria has rebuild her life at one of the best universities in the world, focused solely on her studies and her future. But when Nik-who's always despised her for 'trying to ruin his family image for attention and money'-needs help to save his beloved place on the hockey team, he's forced to turn to the one person he hates most: Victoria. Nikolai had his own reasons to hate Ria. But when his powerful father, who has always had doubts about Vlad's innocence, insists that Ria tutors Nik in exchange for her fully funded graduate scholarship abroad, they're both trapped. Obviously, Ria hated that whole family for what happened freshman year in her former college. Especially Nikolai Wolves who testified against her, as if the moron had even been there when his younger brother assaulted her. Forced to work together Victoria and Nikolai's mutual hatred ignites into a battle of wills. There sessions are a minefield of cutting remarks, icy glares, and unresolved anger. But beneath the venom, there's undeniable tension-attraction. Beneath the anger and hurt, they begin to uncover the truth about each other-and about Vlad.
