A desperate sacrifice, a heart of stone, and a love that dare not speak its name."
Book Description:
In a world where poverty and desperation reign, 17-year-old Salma's life is a constant struggle. Orphaned by circumstance, bullied by her peers, and weighed down by her family's crushing debt, she's forced to confront the harsh realities of her existence.
With her father's failing heart and mounting medical bills, Salma's elder brother Omar takes a catastrophic risk, stealing from the ruthless Mr. Armando Giovanni Paolo, the infamous Don of Italy's most powerful mafia. The consequences are dire, and Salma is left with an impossible choice- either surrender herself to the merciless Don or watch her family succumb to ruin.
As Salma becomes embroiled in the Don's world of luxury and violence, she's subjected to psychological, physical and emotional abuse, treated as nothing more than a pawn in his game of power. Yet, despite the darkness that surrounds her, Salma's indomitable spirit refuses to break.
Will the Don, notorious for his heartlessness, find himself transformed by Salma's unwavering courage and resilience? Or will his bitterness and anger consume them both?

His Addiction ✓
This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one. ~~~~~~~~ One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with. She lived away from everyone she once knew. She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena. Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet. She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety. She thought that her relationship was left behind. Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness. Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet. After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't. But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her. His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do? And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back. Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake. ~~~~~~~~~ Trigger warnings: includes sexual content, mature language, mature/sensitive themes, scenes with weapons, violence and murder.Concluída
