"Italy's Devil" follows Bianca Perillo, an Italian mafia boss feared across the globe, whose name alone is enough to strike terror in the hearts of her enemies. Bianca is known for her cold, ruthless nature and her flawless control-qualities that have helped her rise to the top of a brutal world. Born into the Perillo crime family, she commands loyalty with an iron fist, her sharp intellect matched only by her icy demeanor.
But Bianca's world is upended when she crosses paths with Kiara Lopez, the soft-hearted, idealistic daughter of one of her fiercest rivals. Kiara, with her gentle presence and disarming kindness, is the antithesis of the world Bianca inhabits. Kiara has spent her life away from the shadows of her father's criminal empire, hoping to forget her own path and remain uninvolved in the world of crime.
Their chance meeting sets off an electric and dangerous connection, one that forces Bianca to confront emotions she's buried beneath layers of hardened armor. Kiara, drawn in despite the danger, finds herself captivated by the enigmatic and tortured woman she's been taught to hate. As their forbidden romance grows, they must navigate a labyrinth of family betrayal, rivalries, and personal sacrifice, where every choice could mean the end of their love-or their lives.
Caught between loyalty and longing, Bianca and Kiara must decide if they're willing to destroy their own worlds for a chance to build something beautiful together. "Italy's Devil" is a gripping, dark romance that explores the power of love in the face of vengeance, the duality of softness and strength, and the lengths people will go to escape the legacies of their blood.
