When Jade decided to go to Rome over the weekend, it was to surprise her best friend Lucy who had moved there a year ago. 

What she didn't expect was to witness a murder the same day she arrived. And what she definitely didn't expect was to be taken hostage by those men who later turns out to be a part of the infamous Caliostro-cartel.

And above all, she never ever, in her 22 years, expected to fall for Nico Caliostro, the boss's eldest son.
Soon she realizes she's too entangled to ever find a way out. Or is she?

After a failed attempt at a relationship, I try to make it on my own. However, I end up with a new neighbor who exudes charm, danger, and sexual energy as if it's a job. To make matters worse, I find myself semi-kidnapped by the same dangerous, foul-mouthed, rude neighbor who turns out to be a part of the Italian Mafia. Now, I'm stuck riding shotgun while being chased by gun-wielding maniacs on our way to someplace "safe." I'm beginning to think this is my new reality. *Trigger Warning* Graphic violence, explicit mature scenes, and non-consensual touching (not from the main love interest).
