"He'd always been a man who followed his head and not his heart. The heart was just a bloody motor. The head was meant to drive." 
― Mario Puzo

***

Olivia didn't want anything beyond her grandfather's bookstore, a strong cup of coffee, and the family who'd accepted her as a daughter, not by blood but by bond - the Moretti family. Italian by birth, mafia by trade. 

But unaware of the dangerous trade the Morettis rule, Olivia finds herself inexplicably thrown into the deep end of it all after an attack leaves her blindsided and fumbling to find answers in the dark. As she navigates her way through the new world, forever tied to the Moretti family, she stumbles into the arms of the man who'd broken her heart and left her devasted years ago. 

Will she be able to survive him once again, or will Leonidas Moretti and his empire bring her down in the war of his two worlds?

******************

Olivia:



******************

Leonidas:

That same damned day, as my father crumbled at the foot of my mother's hospital bed, I stepped into the role of Don and CEO of the Moretti Corporation. I'd been given no time to grieve, simply handed a gilded crown and told to rule. No instructions. No warning. No choice. My arms were full of responsibility, my head full of fear, and my heart full of love for a woman who'd be the undoing of my life should anything have happened to her. She held my power and my sense of direction. I couldn't afford to lose either, not in a world like mine. So I did what I thought was right. I puffed up my chest, built my walls, and played the role of merciless Don, calculated CEO, and Big Bad Wolf. Huffing and puffing until I'd blown down everything around me. I stood alone. But alone was safe.

Danté I am the youngest son of Luciano Matteo DeLuca, the notorious Sicilian Mafia kingpin. My father took great care in training both me and my older brother in the intricacies of the family business. He left no details unattended, ensuring we continue his legacy. Unbeknownst to him, I harbor secret aspirations that do not align with his own. Aspirations that include my childhood friend, Mia Ferilli. Despite our insane chemistry, Mia and I never become more than friends... even though I've always wanted more. Life was complicated. A single calamitous day shatters my world and plans, compelling me to flee Italy and seek solace in a foreign country. Leaving behind Mia and the only life I've ever known to embark on a new journey to the US. Even after a decade has passed, the ghosts of my past continue to haunt me. I frequently muse on the what-ifs and the girl I left behind, wondering where life has taken her. I'm also plotting vengeance, after my quest for truth, unearthed betrayals by those I was supposed to trust. Mia In spite of my deep aversion towards the mafia culture, I made a grievous error by falling for the charms of the youngest heir of the notorious Mafia boss.

Just the head housekeeper's daughter and not a mafia princess.

Rosalina, 24 year old whose family was just killed by her abusive Fiancé, escapes to New York where she gets sent to live with old best friend and Mafia Boss, Alec Salvatore. 27 year old Alec, a cold and dark man who would stop at nothing to have things his way. He was cruel and manipulative but when Rose got involved, that all changed. Not knowing that she might've traded one problem for an even bigger one. "No strings attached." He licks his lips and I don't think I've ever wanted anything more then I do right now. "No feelings." I add. "Good because I can't get your pretty little body out of my head." He growls, placing more kisses to my jawline. He can't get me out of his head. I suppress a smile from spreading on my lips. "So is that a yes?" He reaches down under my shirt, grabbing my breast. My back arches, slightly for him. God, this isn't good....but it feels too good to stop. His hands feel so intoxicating on my body. I just want more. More touching, more of him. "Rosalina, I need words." He demands, kissing me. Placing my arms around his neck as I play with his hair, "What would happen if I said yes?" I tease. "It means you are mine to please and vice versa. Something we both want." He says, his body towering over mine. Both want.... His hands on my breast, kneading and playing with me. I feel like I'm going to explode. "No strings attached." I reiterate, my lips lingering right below his. "No feelings'.' He responds, almost too quickly. "Think you can handle that?" "Yes.'' I lied. We both did. All rights reserved.

Little did she know the "freedom" she thought she'd just gained would disappear once again. She would no longer be her father's property but his. •• "Well you didn't think I'd just sit here, accept your deal and fall at your knees begging for you to be with me forever, did you?" I smile at her causing her smile to drop. "Don't answer that, you proved you were a freak when you kidnapped me. Anyways, since I have lived with my father for 18 years, I know what men like you and him are like, there's no way for me to get out of this. So, for the next two years I will do everything to make you hate me, I will make you wish you never brought me into your life.

(Original Version) My cousin and I are the only true bloods left in the Thanos Family. I'm eighteen now and my absent father decided to finally take responsibility of having another child. Moving from New York to California wasn't the hard part. The hard part was trying to find the ones who murdered my mother and my grandparents, pretending to be a normal high schooler, and along with that, fighting my feelings for one of my brother's best friends. Didn't I mention that I am also going to be the new Don of our West Coast Empire? I am Gaiana Kallisto Thanos, Mafia Princess, and the best fucking fighter there is. This is book one of the Mafia Duet. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: "I only give respect to those who deserve it, and the only one in this room that deserves it is Alex. Plus you can't call me a slut when you are the one who loves to constantly have her bed warmed with partners. I'm the one in a stable relationship." She gave a smirk. "You sure about that," she asked. She took her phone out and showed me a photo of Luca dressed in what he wore today, escorting Stephany into the passenger seat of his car. I felt my heart drop to my stomach but didn't outwardly show it. Years of being able to turn off my emotions come in handy. "Well there goes that." I looked into her eyes. "What? Did you expect me to drop to the floor and cry? Honey, you don't know me. And you never will because I'm moving out." I looked at my father and said, "It was nice meeting you but I'm good. I'll pack my stuff and be out by tonight." _________________________________________ Start: March 30, 2018 End: August 31, 2018 Copyrighted 2018

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."
