Athena Marino is powerful, merciless and cruel. Her main priority is running her mafia, determined to bring it to the top. The only person she depends on is herself, it always has been and she is unwilling to let that change or any man sway her judgement, not again. But what happens when she meets her match?
Lorenzo Romano rules the mafia world. He's cold, ruthless and reckless, not caring about who he kills and what he leaves behind as long as he is on top. The intimidating king thrives off bringing his enemies to their knees begging for mercy. He would never change, not for anyone. The deep past and secrets that haunt him forever live within him, but the truth always comes out in the end.
