Italian King

She was meant to be a pawn.
Now I'd burn the world to keep her.
I'm the Don of the Italian mafia—ruthless, untouchable, and immune to love.
Juliet was never supposed to matter. She was a bargaining chip in a blood deal.
But the moment I saw her, everything changed.
She's too young. Too innocent.
And now, too vital to my survival.
Crossing my enemies means war.
But losing her?
That's a price I refuse to pay.

Dante

He's a stranger in an Armani suit with a devil's smile—and a heart made of stone.
I was stolen, bartered, and dragged into his violent world.
But Dante is more than a monster.
He's also my protector.
And the only man who sees me as more than a means to an end.
I swore I'd never love a man like him.
But hearts don't make promises. They break them.

Juliet
