Falling in love was never part of the plan- until she runs into a guy in Italy during her class trip. But that's exactly what happens. And now she's scared... scared that she might change.
Enzo is a tall, handsome Italian guy who works as a bodyguard. One night, when a group of underage girls tries to sneak into the most famous club in Italy, it's his job to stop them. What he can't stop though, are his feelings for one particular girl out of the group- someone unlike anyone he's ever met.
How can things possibly work out when neither of them is supposed to fall in love?
And when Emma returns to her ordinary American life, will Enzo still be thinking about her?

HIS TEMPTATION
𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 / academic rivals 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 Georgia Ivy Findlay is the girl who seems to have it all together-smart, kind, and effortlessly cool. But beneath that calm exterior, she's got a secret life as an assassin, forced to grow up way too fast after losing her parents. She's been fending for herself and her sisters ever since, balancing school with the kind of work that would give most people nightmares. Georgia's got friends and can vibe with pretty much anyone... except Enzo Romano. Enzo is the definition of trouble-rich, popular, and with a bad attitude to match. As the heir to his dad's mafia empire, he's got a chip on his shoulder and no time for niceties. In school, he's the guy everyone either fears or admires, but to Georgia, he's just a pain in the ass. They're both at the top of their class, and the rivalry between them is intense-fueled by snide remarks, icy glares, and a shared hatred that's as undeniable as it is electric. But what happens when the lines between hate and something else start to blur? When one of them begins to feel something deeper, something dangerous, that could change everything? ______________________________________ A/N: This book is going to be focusing on multiple povs like more people than the 2 Main characters just wanted to put that out there also this is the first book I have ever written so if it's cringe I apologize I also appreciate corrections in the comments (Pictures in the book are not mine ) (Update , I realised that there might be some mistakes to I will be edit some of the chapters soon)
