Leonardo Silvio is a 19 year old gang leader whose sole purpose is thrill seeking whilst getting on the wrong side of the law and terrorising the people of Woodcrest Town. He avoids commitment like a patch of stinging nettles because he's seen how love can trample a man, and he doesn't plan to get hitched - ever. He's every single girl in Woodcrest Town's wildest fantasy, with his Italian dark looks and a reputation of being one of the most dangerous men out there, it's impossible for him not to be wanted. When Arielle Edwards, a 19 year old British girl with a secretive and shady past who's sent to America, walks into his life, hell-bent on keeping her distance, she somehow manages to turn his convictions inside out. One look at the boy with the mysterious face with hooded green eyes and a killer smile and Arielle knows he's nothing but trouble. But every time she turns around, Leonardo is there, and the closer they get, the more the flame flickers and the more she fears he'll break her heart. So when anonymous threats make it clear that someone in Woodcrest Town wants her gone, Leonardo elects himself as her protector. But it seems as though he wants to be more than that, and she wants it too. Will two wary hearts take a chance on love before it's too late? Or will the fire that's been ignited, burn out?
This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one.
~~~~~~~~
One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with.
She lived away from everyone she once knew.
She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena.
Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet.
She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety.
She thought that her relationship was left behind.
Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness.
Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet.
After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't.
But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her.
His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do?
And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back.
Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake.
