All seems right in her world until a homeless man who's on the FBI's Most Wanted list comes barreling through the salon, effectively ripping apart all the hard work she put into her life. Now she is forced to live as a fugitive from the law alongside the infuriating man who might just be the one to drag the skeletons out of her closet.

Valentina Moretti. She's one colorful character. She moves to Italy right after high school. She goes there to enjoy the scenery, to be thankful that her parents met here, and work just a casual job. What she doesn't expect is when she crosses paths accidentally with a stranger, who crossed paths with her on purpose, eventually becomes something much more than a stranger. Luca Alfonso. Mafia leader, 'bad guy', murderer. He's that but so much more. Luca wouldn't ever expect to fall in love with the girl he was supposed to protect. She was his rock, his princess, his light, his everything. I rewrote that about 4 months later ^ Disclaimer: My story sucks in my opinion. It is my first story, my first characters, brand new ideas, writing skills are basically non existent. If you happen to come across this story, read it and actually like it, I give props to you. completed :')
