After leaving everything behind including where we stand and the major fact that our mothers had been murdered 7 years prior.Back when he was still around, our families were inseparable including him and my older brother. Inseparable meant church every Sunday, family barbeques afterward, then Friday night soccer games when in season.He couldn't have come at the worst possible time. My father, Adriel Giovanni, the Italian mafia boss, has been notified that our family is receiving death threats-, the very same death threats that murdered our mothers.Now, my fate lies with him. Nico Sebastian Rossi.My brother's best friend and my newly promoted bodyguard. NicoI am back and ready to be home more than ever or so I think.I am back on her 21st birthday and offered the man, who's been like a second father figure, that I could protect his little princess.Teresa Maria Giovanni is her name. My best friend's little sister.My forbidden fruit.I have to take her far from Amalfi, our home, born and raised. But, I don't think I would have the capacity to control how I feel any longer once we are alone, without anyone else stopping me from loving her and all of her.Just me and my Italian princess for the next unknown amount of time.
