He’s her nightmare. She’s his kryptonite. When their worlds collide, neither one of them are prepared. Olivia is running from her dark past. From a moment in time that threw her world into chaos. Changing her identity and hiding in Italy, she thinks she has landed on her feet when she is offered a job as a nanny to an extremely wealthy family. It’s the perfect set up, or so she thinks…that’s until she meets him. Her Boss. The arrogant, intimidating, and deadly gorgeous, Giovanni Buccini. She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pounding and her spine from tingling every time he is near. And he is always near… Little does Olivia know; Giovanni is the underboss to the most violent and feared mafia family in Italy. The moment he laid eyes on his siblings’ new nanny, he had to have her. He craved her. She was his ultimate temptation. As their secrets are unmasked one by one, they begin to learn that not all is what it seems. He’ll protect her…whether she likes it or not. The only thing he can’t protect her from is himself.

He’s her forbidden fantasy. She’s his darkest desire. When fate intervenes, neither one of them is prepared. Elenora Buccini is ready to fight for her freedom to live the life she has always dreamed of. Growing up in the most feared and powerful mafia family in Northern Italy, Elle suffered painful losses and has lived her entire life under the protective but suffocating eyes of controlling men. She craves independence. A desire to make her own choices and give into the temptations she has been forbidden to experience. And no one is more forbidden than Alessio Barbieri. When fate plays its devious hand once more, Elenora finds herself in the irresistible clutches of her family's biggest rival, the King of the South. She vows to never fall in love with a mafia man, but when her enemy shows her exactly what she has been missing, he becomes her greatest temptation yet. Alessio has never pretended to be Prince Charming. Ruthless. Arrogant. Fearless. He believes life is about taking what you want. And from the moment he first laid eyes on his rival’s sister, he knew he wanted her. She would only cause him trouble. But trouble was his favourite thing. Fighting his own demons; ones that could derail him from everything he has worked so hard to achieve, Alessio must find a way to have it all or make the ultimate sacrifice… for his mafia princess. They’ll try to tear them apart… but he won’t give up without a fight.
