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: 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 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?

"Now why don't you start telling me, what that motherf**ker was doing at your house yesterday...?" "Ethan, please..., I-" she let out, despite the throbbing ache. "Here's the thing, cara mia," he snarled in her ear, his hot breath hitting her skin like that of a scalding iron rod, "I don't tolerate opponents, I destroy them. So, listen to me and believe me when I say, I'm going to ruin him so bad that he will curse the day he was born and curse the day he laid his unworthy eyes on you. And this is a f*cking promise!" ~~~ HE WAS UNHINGED; SHE WAS HIS ELIXIR HE WAS ADDICTED; SHE WAS HIS DRUG HE WAS WISTFUL; SHE WAS HIS FANTASY At seventeen, moving to a new place, to Queensland, was supposed to entail a fresh beginning for Maryam Dias and her mother. A sanctuary for healing. A hiding place from the memories of what was lost. But for Maryam, it was just the beginning of a new hazard and unfortunate misery awaiting at her doorstep. And this time, escaping may just be out of her hands. Queensland, Australia is ruled by the Mafia families, and Ethan Russo just so happens to be the son of the most powerful Mafia Don. When Ethan sees her, he wants to keep her, restrained, isolated, and at his mercy, away from all prying eyes. With emotions that borderline obsession and eyes that promise her of insanity, there is no escape for Maryam, as she becomes a mere spectator while he ruins her life and her, caging her and molding her to his heart's desire.

Highest Ranking #1 Spiritual He cornered me, his piercing grey eyes locking onto mine with a rage that stole my breath. The smell of alcohol clung to him, suffocating my senses. I turned my face away, desperate to avoid his gaze. "You're disgusted with me, aren't you?" His voice was low, each word laced with venom. Tears threatened to spill as I held my trembling body still. "ANSWER ME!" he barked, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "Y-yes," I stammered, the truth slipping out through my sobs. He leaned closer, his lips brushing against my ear as he hissed, "Good. So am I." With that, he turned and walked away, leaving me shattered and gasping for air. How did I end up here?

I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefiction
