Summary

Karissa Bellone spent two years of her life obtaining an associate's degree in psychology, learning the art of human behavior, and yet never came close to knowing her family as well as she thought she did. Secrets ran deeper into her kindred's roots far more than she knew, leading her to fall into the path of the five mafia families of Italy. Vittorio Romano, don of one of the Five Families, is ruthless, lethal, and heartless when it comes to getting what he wants. When he hears that The Commission wants to replace one of the dons and put another in their place he's willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that his family keeps their rightful place. Even if it means murder and betrayal. With a twist of fate both of their obstacles clash with one another. Karissa is met with a man who's an immovable force, and Vittorio quarrels with a woman who won't bend to his will. Not wanting each other's help but obligated to give it, they use one another for their own gain. As Karissa attempts to navigate through the tenebrous world of the mob with the guide of Vittorio, she tries not to go against everything she believes in and defies falling into its seductive ways.

ACT I

your words were fire

warm and passionate

then they began to burn

ashes to smoke they transformed

truth and lies became embers

luminescence to your halo fading

the horns you hid well elucidate

an angel you portrayed

a winged fiend you were

they called you il diavolo

i chose not to accept the veracity

your animosity raged on

fueled by sovereignty

deep in my mind I had known

never to trust the devil
