(Book 1 Out Of 5) Daria DeRose, the daughter of Bernadette and Phillippe DeRose. Since the beginning of time she has been trained to be able to protect herself from not just her enemies but her father.

Little did the fearless leader know that many would want a piece of that same power. Alfonso Gambini, the son of Alexandra and Armando Gambini. As the days of his father stepping down from leadership get closer, Alfonso fights the urge to become just like him. Alfonso's main wish is to rebrand their family name and not harm the ones that don't deserve it. However, his mother has a wish herself - find a wife. Alfonso mistaken the simple request as an easy task when he is enamored by Daria's beauty and powerful aura. To his surprise, Alfonso refuses to choose anyone else and sooner than later, he lets out the inner demon that he tried to keep hidden. (WARNING: This book is considered as a slow burn with a total of 38 'mains & sides' characters. This book will be following Daria & Alfonso however, they won't be in every chapter. The other characters will have their own chapters where it won't be around Daria & Alfonso. I truly didn't need to have the cast so big, but with this being a series, I wanted the other characters to be known on the similar level as of Daria and Alfonso. So if you prefer a faster pace book - please do not move on to my book. It is very slowed pace from how I want my work to be detailed and told properly. If the slowed pace doesn't bother you and you don't mind getting to know about the other 36 characters, this is a book for you. Anyways, thank you for choosing my book and I hope you enjoy the rollercoaster of the underworld/high school drama.) 𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 © 𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐒𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒
