Isabella's life was never easy. But how could it be when your father is head of the American mafia? At seven years old, she watched as her mother almost died from the first assassination attempt. At ten years old, she was injured in the same car "accident" that took her mother's life. At twelve years old, she began her life of being alone and on the run. Then, at sixteen years old, she found love. And despite being forced to use a fake name and disappear from time to time, within the time they shared, Isabella fell deeply for Alexi Romano. But of course, nothing can ever go right for Isabella. The night of her nineteenth birthday, she discovers he's the heir to the Italian mafia, meaning he's one of her father's greatest enemies. So she does what she's best at... she runs. And this time, she doesn't come back. Until, at twenty-four years old, news breaks within the world of organized crime that Isabella Garcia didn't die with her mother in the car crash. Now she has to return home for the first time in twelve years. And she's doing it as a single mother to a five-year-old boy... one who inherited piercing green eyes from a certain Italian man. ~~~~~ This book is written in dual point of view between Alexi and Isabella, alternating each chapter.
