Things have never seemed to go according to plan for Alyssa, and after walking into her father's murder scene, Aly promises herself never to build her hopes up again. But how much will discovering her father's past, her heritage and not to forget the arrogant, narcissistic Colton Winton make her break this promise?

----

Aly had always felt like something was missing in her life, and after her father was murdered the hole became even bigger to fill. She is forced to move across town with her mom, and she believed that things could only go downhill from there. 

But then she meets Cole. He is difficult, irritating and has the deepest violet eyes that she has ever seen. He pushes her every button, and she pushes his. Her friends hate him, and her mom suspects him, but since when has Aly taken advice from anyone?

Time passes and secrets start to unravel. What is Colton hiding? And is the murderer of Aly's father closer to her than expected?

All I know for now is that my heart has fallen of its own accord for an arrogant man, one that will either be my doom or my salvation. I know, I know your just a book and can't advice me back, but I need someone to talk to. I know at least my secrets and fears are safe with you, and you won't judge but listen.

(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. I never thought I'd go through it, but there I was in the middle of it all. Arie Noelle is a wise, strong-willed girl with a good heart, but a misfortunate incident leading up to others tears her apart. What happens when she finds herself on the radar of Leo Bonferroni, a ruthless mafia leader hiding behind the mask of a sexy tycoon, who is not only intrigued but also smitten by her? However, they begin to change each other, molding into something else. She does things she never dreamt of doing. He places the world at her feet, but will she accept it or kick it away in fear? The rising tension between the two kills her inside, but will she give into the sexy temptation walking around with an irresistible smirk that mushes her into a puddle? Will they ever find her destroyer or will she end up on the noose herself? Warning: Strong language, sexual content, rape, and graphic violence.
