The perfect mafia princess doesn't fall for her family's sworn enemy. She doesn't fantasize about his punishment every night. And she sure as hell doesn't plot patricide with her forced fiancé.

When I showed her heaven on earth, savagely claiming every inch of her sinful body, she had no idea who I really am—NYC's ruthless Mafia Don, feared by all.

She was not like any other woman.
