Sylvia Matthews has always lived a simple life, working at a small-town diner, content with her modest existence. But when a chance opportunity knocks, she leaves her comfort zone behind and steps into the glittering world of corporate power. Hired as an intern by the enigmatic and ruthless CEO, Leo King, Sylvia is thrust into a world where ambition, secrets, and danger collide. Leo King is everything Sylvia isn't: cold, calculating, and distant. His icy demeanor and unapproachable nature make him the kind of boss everyone fears. But what no one knows is that beneath his perfect, professional façade lies a man with a dark and dangerous past. Leo is not just a business tycoon-he's the feared and elusive mafia lord who rules a hidden empire, and the power he commands is as deadly as it is alluring. Despite the gulf between them, Sylvia's cheerful, bubbly personality begins to break down Leo's walls. She refuses to cower in his presence, seeing something in him others can't-perhaps a glimmer of the man beneath the ice. As their professional relationship grows, so does an undeniable attraction, though Leo is determined to keep his feelings buried, knowing that falling for someone like Sylvia could bring dangerous consequences. But secrets have a way of surfacing, and when Sylvia stumbles upon a part of Leo's world she was never meant to see, everything changes. Torn between her growing feelings for the man she's come to care for and the terrifying truth about his mafia ties, Sylvia must navigate a treacherous path where love, loyalty, and betrayal are all too real. In a world where danger lurks around every corner, can Sylvia trust Leo with her heart? And more importantly, can she survive the consequences of loving a man with so much to lose? "Beneath the Ice" is a captivating blend of romance, suspense, and danger-where the line between love and fear is razor-thin. Will Sylvia's light shine through the darkness, or will she be consumed by the shadows of Leo's world?

(BOOK 1 OF MAFIA LOVE SERIES) [COMPLETED & EDITING] * "Arie," he whispered, his smile dropping as he closed the distance between us. "I'm sor..." My right hand met his left cheek brutally, stopping all that he had to say. "How dare you?" I hissed, landing another smack on the same spot. "How could you do this to me?" I raised my hand up again to place another one, but he caught my wrist before I could do so. "Plan your next move very carefully," he spoke in a low, belligerent tone tightening his grip on my wrist, daring me to slap him again. Pain jolted from the area, forcing tears to sting at the corner of my eyes. "Or what?" I scowled at him. "You don't want to find out." He took a step closer, staring into my eyes. "And don't tempt me!" * Today was the day it all started. Everything began to fall apart. It twisted me, threw me against the wall, and ripped my sanity and innocence to shreds.
