When nineteen-year-old Valentina Moretti, daughter of a New York billionaire, moves to Italy to reconnect with her roots, she expects art classes, late-night gelato, and freedom from her father's shadow - not danger.
Venice is beautiful, yes - but it hides secrets behind its glittering canals.
At her favorite café, she keeps seeing him: the tattooed stranger whose dark eyes never leave her. His name is Ace Armani - charming, dangerous, and the youngest mafia leader in Italy.
When their worlds collide, Valentina's golden life begins to crack. The deeper she falls for Ace, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth about her mother's death... and the price of loving a man who lives in the shadows.
In Venice, love isn't just romance - it's survival.
