In the criminal underworld, there was one man who was feared and respected by all - Damiano 'Ablabius' Armani. He was the Don of the Italian mafia, and his power and ruthlessness knew no bounds. His piercing grey eyes and strikingly handsome features made him a walking sin for the female population, but beneath his good looks lay a life steeped in blood, death, and violence.
Damiano was a man who always got what he wanted, and no one dared to stand in his way. Those who did were quickly dealt with, and he had gained a reputation for being cold, intimidating, and possessive. He ruled over the mafia and the crime world alike, and his name alone was enough to make even the bravest of men tremble.
But even the most feared and powerful men have their weaknesses, and for Damiano, it was a woman - Gemma Nyx 'Artemis' Levine. She was a force to be reckoned with, feared by all who knew her. Like Damiano, she was used to getting everything she desired, and nothing stood in her way.
Death was her other name, and she ruled the entire country with an iron fist. No man had ever been able to tame her, not even the one who haunted her erotic dreams. But when Damiano entered her life, everything changed.
Grief-stricken over the death of the boss who was like a father to her, Olivia Bailey is left to deal with the aftermath--the arrival of his dashing but estranged son, Pierce Alexander. But she can't stand him and he doesn't trust her. Will working for the new CEO remain to be an impossible task?
