A story about the sacrifices we make for love...

I sneak out of my room every night. My father's guards don't see me. My sister doesn't see me. No one sees me, except him.

He's the son of a mafia foot soldier. My father is the boss. I shouldn't even know Giovanni. And I definitely shouldn't kiss him. Our relationship is doomed to fail, but that won't stop me from trying.

Not every girl wants to be a princess. I just want to be free.

Until he laid eyes on the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and fell head over heels in love. Too afraid to admit his feelings, he bottled his emotions up, focussing instead on his internship, and eventually becoming one of the most wealthy media barons in the country...and indeed a notorious NYC womaniser. He almost began to forget his emotions. Almost. But when circumstances change, he can't help but let those feelings come back to the surface, until they are ready to turn the world as he knows it completely upside down.
