Adaobi Oheji, a vibrant and talented choreographer, is used to calling the shots-on and off the dance floor. When her best friend Brianna invites her to Italy for a well-deserved getaway, Adaobi is ready for sunshine, good food, and a little adventure. What she doesn't expect is Matteo Ferrari-Brianna's mysteriously cold (but ridiculously handsome) older brother, who just so happens to run one of the most powerful crime families in Italy.
Their first meeting? A total disaster. Their chemistry? Undeniable.
As Adaobi gets swept into Matteo's world-one filled with whispered secrets, extravagant parties, and unexpected moments of tenderness-she realizes she might be in over her head. But love has a funny way of showing up where you least expect it.

Beneath the Surface
Isabelle is a kind-hearted young woman with a soft spot for everyone, even those who don't deserve it. After the death of her father and a difficult life with her unpredictable mother, she moves to a new town, seeking a fresh start. But when she unknowingly steps into the world of Domenico, a brooding, ruthless man tied to the dangerous Italian mafia, her kindness puts her directly in his path. Domenico is cold, calculating, and unforgiving-traits that have kept him at the top of the criminal world after inheriting his father's empire. He trusts no one, and he certainly doesn't have time for someone like Isabelle, whose sweetness and naivety irritate him more than he cares to admit. When he dismisses her without a second thought, Isabelle's response is anything but what he expects. Determined to prove herself, she takes on the challenge to show him she's not just some fragile girl who will back down. But as their paths continue to cross, what starts as animosity slowly transforms into something deeper-something neither of them expected. Beneath Domenico's icy exterior lies a man tortured by his past, and beneath Isabelle's gentle nature is a quiet strength that threatens to crack the walls he's built around himself. In this slow-burn romance filled with tension, danger, and unspoken truths, both Domenico and Isabelle will have to confront the past they've tried to outrun and learn that beneath the surface, things are never as simple as they seem.Complete
