Velvet & Thunder

Rosetta Ferrari

A new start, that's all I wanted. It's why I came to St. Lorenzo University, one of the biggest and oldest universities in the world. With my brothers, new friends, and constant therapy sessions by my side, I thought I'd heal. I promised myself I wouldn't date again. That is, until I met Evangelos Vitale. Cold, quiet, manipulative, and ruthless, he's in his last year of business studies. He's intense, always calculating my every move. Everyone warns me to stay away from him. Men fear him, and women can't seem to resist him. But how can I avoid him when he's everywhere I turn?

Evangelos Vitale

I've never liked anyone in my life; I only tolerate people. By 20, I had built my own mafia and took my place as its leader. Now, at 25, I control the Italian mafia and own one of the world's largest companies. I'm at St. Lorenzo only to fulfill a contract that requires a business degree. I keep my circle limited to two childhood friends and don't waste my time on relationships. Love? It's childish and pointless-or at least, that's what I thought. Until I saw Rosetta Ferrari. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. All I want is her close, every moment of every day. I want to keep her to myself, lock her away so no one else can see her. I became obsessed.
