My Dark One

How can one become dark if they're already born within the darkness?

Adrienne Steally had the perfect life. A Mother, a Father, a Brother, and the white picket fence dream. But, all can be ripped away with one choice. That's what Adrienne father did, make the wrong choice.

Betrayed by her own parents, that dream started to become a nightmare within weeks. She had nothing left but herself. Homeless. A druggie. Begging for money to survive. Until one of the 3 most powerful Mafia Dons, Mr. Conti, found her and groomed her to be his Top. Leaving her to forget her old life and embrace the new one of murder, crime, and sinful darkness.

But quickly, she became his favourite. Making her the top of his detail. But soon that would all change when she found out what really happened to her parents. She wanted revenge.
But that revenge really changed when she found out that her boss was dying.

Mr. Conti's son, Valentino (Val) Conti, was bound to take his father's place as Don. With his father's health deteriorating by the minute, Val doesn't know all of his father's work. Well, the shipments and his men at that. That's where Adrienne Steally steps in. As Valentino Conti's second in commend.

Both shocked by Mr. Conti's choice, they must learn to work together, as Don and as second. But there's more behind both of their lives than just that. Adrienne always felt a dark pull. That she was born with a darkened heart and nothing would change that. But Val on the other hand, never had it well either. He never wanted to be Don. But, being the only bloodline to his father, he had no choice but accept his fate. He never talks about how his father actually treated him, how he never liked his father, and how his mother died right in front of him.

They both have secrets. Dark, forbidden, gruesome secrets. Ones that don't belong in a love story. But somehow they do, fall in love. But sometimes,

Love isn't enough to stop the darkness from taking over.
