37 parts Complete MatureDominic was the head of mafia empire where he captured Sophie - smart, stubborn, and kind-hearted - fell for the man behind the power.
Not the boss.
The man.
They kept their love a secret for a time, but when Sophie became pregnant with their daughter, everything changed.
Dominic chose her over all else. He made her his wife, despite protests from the old guard. And Sophie gave him something no empire could: peace.
Their daughter, Izabelle Christie Moretti - Izzy - was born under the veil of a new era. Light in a world of shadows. Love, where there had been only blood.
Nico Moretti, Dominic's estranged younger brother, had left Italy years ago after a disagreement over the family's future. While Dominic became the ruthless head of the Italian syndicate, Nico established a foothold in Russia, rising through the ranks of the Bratva and eventually marrying a formidable Russian woman.
Years later, he returned - bringing with him his teenage son, Luca Moretti.
From the moment Luca laid eyes on Izzy, something shifted in him.
They were opposites in some ways: Izzy was fire - witty, bold, full of life. Luca was ice - calculating, guarded, intense. But when they were together, the world felt quiet, like they were made from the same storm.
They were cousins... but not by blood. Not by marriage. Only by a tangle of family history that said they shouldn't be together - that said it would be wrong.
But they couldn't stay away.
