Her life couldn't have been any better until her sister got engaged to the man whose brother she knew better than she desired. It was only a month, she told herself. A month under the same roof and then everything would go back to normal. But as she starts to discover new secrets that seem to intertwine her life with his, she doubts she will ever be able to forget the man with whom a one-night stand seemed too good to be true. ~~~~~~~~~ NICOLAS Nicolas Salucci, the heir to the Italian Cosa Nostra was reserved and couldn't confide in anyone. It seemed like his life would continue to be as shallow and dark as his father made it to be until he met her. After overhearing a scheme which could end Nicolas's life, she demanded only a single night. One that he was tempted to give her and did. Only, he didn't think that that one night would cost him his entire heart. The woman was everything he desired and more. Yet he despised her. His father had chosen a woman for him to marry yet how could he marry someone whom he had no feelings for? As verities begin to arise, Nicolas begins to realise that maybe he only hated himself for falling for a woman he couldn't have.
