Me - an awkward introvert, innocently stalking my father. He seduced me. Worshipped me. Then, in a blink, he vanished, leaving no trace—not even a name or number. HIM I wasn’t supposed to see her again. We were never meant to meet in the first place. But here we are: Her - half asleep after passing out at work. Me - caught sneaking into her family business in the middle of the night. She has no clue who I am—that I’ve just settled into a ruthless birthright position within the Italian mafia. Or that her family legacy plays a role in my illegal activities. But I have a feeling the dead body at my feet might bring her up to speed.Voir livre
