When Emma moves to Florence, Italy, for a fresh start, the last thing she expects is to make an enemy on her first day at her new school. Enter Ilario Ferraro, a popular, arrogant local who seems to take pleasure in reminding her that she doesn't belong. From the bustling school hallways to the quiet corners of the art room, their rivalry unfolds in sharp words, constant challenges, and a series of tense encounters that neither of them can seem to avoid.
Determined to prove herself in a city where she's just the "straniera," Emma refuses to let Ilario intimidate her. But as their paths cross again and again, their sparring begins to reveal a deeper connection neither wants to admit. In a battle of wills and stubborn pride, Emma and Ilario must navigate their resentment, hidden chemistry, and the unspoken feelings that threaten to unravel everything they think they know about each other.

A crime boss struggles to carry out a vendetta after he falls for the spirited daughter of his enemy. ***** Twenty-two years after his parents were killed, Federico Di Maggio returns to New York with a simple plan: take down the man who betrayed his family.

When her father was murdered and her mother vanished without a trace, she became a ghost-until the day she was taken. Kidnapped by the infamous Falco crime family, Sofia is thrust into a world of cold steel, whispered secrets, and dangerous men. At the center of it all is Davide Falco-young, ruthless, and born to rule. He's the heir to an empire, and he didn't plan on keeping her alive... until he saw the fire in her eyes. Torn between revenge and desire, Sofia becomes more than a pawn in a war between mafia dynasties. She becomes the one thing Davide never expected: a weakness. And a threat to everything he's built. As years pass and enemies close in, their twisted bond grows into something darker, deeper-and deadlier. But when Sofia uncovers a devastating secret about her past, trust shatters. Love turns to war. And when she disappears without a trace, Davide will burn the entire world to bring her back. Passionate. Violent. Unforgiving. This is not a love story.
