Pretty Little Thing

After leaving her small hometown behind, shy and hopelessly romantic Penelope Lockehart moves to New York City with a suitcase barely packed and a notebook filled with lists about the woman she hopes to become.

She spends her days working in a cozy coffee shop, buying flowers for herself, collecting perfume, and trying to romanticize every little moment of her life. She's searching for her identity and hoping that maybe, just maybe, she'll find where she belongs.

Then one rainy morning, she runs into someone.

Tall. Mysterious. Dressed in black.

Matteo De Luca.

He appears whenever she needs him. He brings her favorite pastries without asking, remembers the books she mentions once, and somehow always knows when she's having a bad day.

What Penelope doesn't know is that Matteo is one of the most feared men in New York. A mafia boss with blood on his hands and enemies around every corner.

He tells himself he'll keep his distance.

He tells himself she deserves a normal life.

But every time she smiles at him over a cup of coffee, he forgets his own rules.

And while Penelope is trying to discover who she really is, Matteo finds himself wondering if a man like him deserves to be loved by someone so soft.

After all, pretty little things break easily.

And Matteo has spent his entire life destroying things.
