So, I was saving this story for myself, but I NEED to share it again, so I'll be posting weekly chapters until it's fully uploaded!
          	
          	Luca Bianchi knows better than anyone that control is the only thing keeping him alive. Haunted by the ghosts of a job gone wrong, he’s built a new reputation on precision, restraint, and never making the same mistake twice. But when Luca is assigned to protect a long-lost mafia heiress, he’s forced into close proximity with the one variable he could never account for—her.
          	
          	Sienna Russo has spent her life searching for a place to call home, carefully avoiding a past that has always felt just out of reach. Being pulled back into the world she was born into should feel like the answer, but instead it feels like a trap. Because the deeper she’s dragged into the politics of feuding Families, the clearer it becomes that her survival depends on more than just playing the part.
          	
          	With enemies closing in, the only thing standing between her and a brutal fate is a man who shouldn’t have a soul left to save. But he’s just as dangerous as the world she’s been thrown into; controlled, ruthless, and unwilling to let anything disrupt the order he’s built.
          	
          	Luca was sent to protect her. Falling for her was never part of the job. And in a world where loyalty is currency and weakness is fatal, wanting her may be the one mistake Luca can’t afford to make.

It seems like Nothing Sleeps Anymore has made it through Round 2! However, I regret to say that will likely be the last round I enter, as graduation is nearing and my research takes priority. I will be cheering everyone on from the sidelines though! Congrats to everyone that has made it this far!

@dawneverlywrites Ah, that's a shame. 
            Hopefully you'll be able to pick it back up with no pressure of deadlines or studies. 
            
            Good luck with your research etc.

Hey everyone! Congrats to all ONC round 1 winners and picks! For those of you not on that list, keep in mind your journey is not over! Round winners are just extra recognition. If you were a qualifier, you still move on to the next rounds, so don’t count yourself out yet! If you can, try to spread the word, because I’ve seen a lot of people getting confused!
