The city of Ashwood was ablaze with violence and corruption, and the Rossi family was at its epicenter. Don Giovanni Rossi, the patriarch, had built a criminal empire through his cunning and ruthlessness. His son, Marco, was being groomed to take over, but his reckless ambition and arrogance had become a liability.
One fateful night, Marco's mistakes caught up with him. A rival family, the Moranos, had had enough of his provocations and launched a brutal attack on the Rossi's headquarters. Marco was forced to flee, leaving behind a trail of destruction and betrayal.
Sophia, Marco's sister and a brilliant lawyer, was summoned to clean up the mess. She was a force to be reckoned with, known for her intelligence, beauty, and ruthless tactics. As she navigated the treacherous underworld, Sophia discovered a web of deceit and betrayal that threatened to destroy the family.
Alessandro, a mysterious enforcer with a troubled past, appeared at Sophia's side, offering his services. Together, they fought to protect the Rossi family's power and legacy, but Sophia soon realized that the only way to save the family was to take it down from the inside.
She delved deeper into the family's secrets, Sophia uncovered a tangled web of lies, corruption, and betrayal. She was faced with an impossible choice: loyalty to her family or justice for the innocent. The fate of the Rossi family hung in the balance, and Sophia's decision would determine the future of Ashwood itself.
Don Giovanni Rossi, a cunning and ambitious man, had built the family's criminal empire from scratch. He started as a small-time hustler on the streets of Ashwood, but his intelligence and charm quickly propelled him to the top of the city's underworld.
Giovanni's rise to power was marked by strategic alliances, calculated risks, and a willingness to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. He married into a powerful crime family, the Bianchis, and solidified his position through a combination of loyalty, betrayal, and strategic maneuvering.
The Rossi family's influence grew, so did their reputation for ruthlessness and cunning. They expanded their operations, branching out into extortion, gambling, and drug trafficking. Giovanni's children, Marco and Sophia, were groomed to take over the family business, with Marco being the chosen successor.
Sophia Rossi, the younger sibling, was always the smart one. She had a natural talent for strategy and a keen understanding of the law. Giovanni saw her potential and encouraged her to become a lawyer, knowing that a legal mind would be invaluable to the family business.
Sophia excelled in law school and quickly made a name for herself as a brilliant and ruthless lawyer. She became the family's consigliere, using her knowledge to navigate the complex web of alliances, rivalries, and legal troubles that came with being a powerful crime family.
Despite her success, Sophia was often overlooked in favor of her brother Marco, who was being groomed to take over the family business. She resented this, feeling that her talents were underutilized and her contributions undervalued.
Years passed, Sophia's frustration grew. She began to build her own power base within the family, quietly gathering allies and building a reputation as a formidable force in her own right.
Sophia's relationships with others were complex and multifaceted. She was fiercely loyal to her family, but her resentment towards Marco and her father's favoritism had created tension. She had few close friends, but those she did have were fiercely devoted.
One such friend was Alessandro, the mysterious enforcer who had appeared at her side after Marco's downfall. Alessandro was a ghost from Sophia's past, a former lover who had disappeared without a trace. His return sparked a mix of emotions: anger, hurt, and a lingering attraction.
They worked together to protect the family, Sophia and Alessandro's relationship evolved. They shared a deep trust and understanding, forged through their shared experiences and secrets. Alessandro became Sophia's confidant, her rock in the midst of chaos.
Their bond was tested by the arrival of a new player: Victoria, a stunning and cunning socialite with a hidden agenda. Victoria was determined to claim a place in the Rossi family's inner circle, and her sights were set on Alessandro.
Alessandro's past was shrouded in mystery. He had appeared in Sophia's life suddenly, and just as suddenly, he had vanished. The truth was that Alessandro had been a member of a rival crime family, the Morano's, who had been seeking to take down the Rossi's for years.
Alessandro had been sent to infiltrate the Rossi family and gather intelligence, but he had fallen for Sophia and betrayed his own family's trust. When his duplicity was discovered, he was forced to flee, leaving Sophia heartbroken and confused.
Years later, Alessandro returned, his loyalty now firmly with Sophia and the Rossi family. But the scars of his past remained, and the weight of his secrets threatened to destroy the fragile trust he had built with Sophia.
Victoria's presence stirred up old rivalries and new tensions, Alessandro was forced to confront his past and make a choice: protect Sophia and the Rossi family, or succumb to the pull of his old loyalties and betray those he had come to care for.
Victoria was a stunning and cunning socialite with a hidden agenda. She had a reputation for manipulating men and situations to her advantage, and her sights were set on the Rossi family's power and influence.
Victoria's motivations went beyond mere ambition. She had a personal vendetta against the Rossis, fueled by a dark secret from her past. Her family had been destroyed by the Rossis' ruthless tactics, and she had vowed to exact revenge.
Victoria's plan was to infiltrate the Rossi family's inner circle, gather intelligence, and wait for the perfect moment to strike. She had set her sights on Alessandro, knowing that his loyalty to Sophia was a weakness she could exploit.
Victoria's presence continued to stir up tensions, Sophia began to suspect that something was off. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she knew that Victoria was hiding something.

Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits.

He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him.
