Flavio Esposito is a cruel man. Or that's what most think. Being the italian mafia leader has its perks, but has drastic downsides.

No, not training her like his sons and keeping them there. Ha not that at all. Instead, he sent his daughter away to, what he thought, an ordinary boarding school. Let me tell you, he soon regrets that decision.

Seeing the people who first abandoned her, will she be happy? Or bicker with them?
How will her brothers and father react to her?
Will she take the news well when she reunites with someone who she loved but also abandoned her?

Reyna Del Rosso, the heir to the Spanish Mafia. A woman who was fed with a spoon made of gold. She got everything she wanted. She had men falling at her feet with a single look, a body of a Goddess and a heart of gold. She kills without even glancing back at her victim. With the worlds most powerful Don as her father and the worlds most powerful Donna as her mother, no one has dared to touch her.
Not until him.
Leonid Varkov took over the Russian Mafia to carry his fathers legacy but he is now an easy target for the Del Rosso's because of a line of lies that was fed to him, making both mafia's enemies. He's a man who's known to be merciless, ruthless, strong and powerful. He wears the scars of his formal kills like jewellery. People steered clear of the new boss as he was known across the mafias. He was already feared, already at the top.
What happens when the two cross paths to form an alliance? What happens when the truth is revealed? What happens when they can't ignore their dark, forbidden desires for each other?
