nepenthe (n.) that which chases sorrow away. 

It wasn't easy for the mafia boss, Leonardo Romano to reach the highly respected position of a Don; the sacrifices made were irreversible. Beneath the facade of his emotionless mask, hid a broken, vulnerable boy who was slowly losing the will to live.

With a stalker on the loose abducting young ballerinas, and the power of her company slipping away, the ballet industry's star, Maria Amante, had no choice but to return to her childhood love, who she was separated from years before. 

Through a fake engagement, the two navigate through their childhood trauma, adverse experiences and most importantly, their dysfunctional relationship that had been destroyed in the past.

But with hidden secrets and unrevealed realities, there seems to be more than what they think they knew about each other, the world and themselves.

Special thanks to @Jaygrfx7 for the cover!! -------------- ❝𝐀 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲, 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥. ❞ Renata Vartanov had been through hell. Sold to a brothel and thrusted into prostitution at thirteen along with her then toddler brother, by her own father after the loss of her mother. Forced to sleep with men every other night to keep her brother safe from the brothel's caretaker who would beat him for her mistakes. She knew no happiness, she knew no joy except her brother. And when an opportunity of his freedom presents itself to her, she happily leapt at the prospect. Even though she would have to give up the tiny sliver left of hers. ***************************** ❝𝐀 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐳𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭, 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭. ❞ Vincenzo (Viper) Romano. Don of the Italian crime family and leader of the Romano empire. A dangerous man with a fiery temper, known to destroy his competitors and annihilate his foes in cold blood. Cold, cruel, and calculative. Those were the words he lived by. There was no room for remorse, regret, or romance in his world. Those three had almost broken him in the past. During a conducted arson at one of his foes' trafficking auction, where Renata was almost sold, she is brought into his world accidentally, with no way out. At first he detested her. It greatly pissed him off that she'd survived and he avoided her, vowing not to have anything to do with one of his enemies's whores. But how long can he resist her innocence, her smile, the torture her pain caused to his heart that he refused to acknowledge?
