Romeo I knew Lucia Rossi—the stunning, fiery Mafia princess—was off-limits the moment I met her. But that didn’t stop the instant attraction. What I felt for her was immediate … palpable. It left a bitter taste in my mouth because she was also celebrating her eighteenth birthday that day. She was barely legal, and I’m a thirty-one-year-old man. The guilt gnawed at me, but that didn’t stop her. She was relentless, pursuing me with a determination that matched her fierce beauty. I’ve done my best to keep my distance, to resist the pull between us. But now, with her safety in jeopardy, and being the one tasked to take her to a safe house, there’ll be nowhere for me to run. It’s a temptation I don’t need. Lucia He may be my Romeo, but unfortunately, I am not his Juliet. At first, he was fun and a little flirty, but over time, he became cold and distant. He claims I’m too young for him, but to me, age is just a number. What he fails to realise is that I’m not easily discouraged. So when I’m forced into hiding, with him as my sole protector, it’s the perfect opportunity to wear him down. By the time I’m through with this man, he won’t know what hit him. I may be playing a dangerous game, but it’s one I’m prepared to win.
