Summary
Lia Fiorelli’s goal is simple: grow her catering business and stay far away from the violent world of the mafia. Raised by humble Italian bakers, she believes hard work—not power—builds a future. When she’s hired to cater a week-long engagement celebration at the luxurious Vitale estate, it should be the biggest opportunity of her career. Instead, she meets Lorenzo Vitale—and catches his attention. The reclusive Mafia King is powerful, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. One look across the ballroom sparks a chemistry neither of them expects, and one reckless night changes everything. By morning, nothing feels the same. As their attraction turns into a forbidden affair, enemies begin circling—and Lia becomes the Mafia King’s most dangerous weakness. When glamour turns to chaos, Lorenzo disappears, leaving only a business card and memories Lia tries to forget. For the safety of her family, she makes a choice that changes her life forever—and vanishes. But Lia isn’t leaving empty-handed. She’s carrying a secret that could change the Mafia King’s legacy forever. Because a Vitale never forgets what is his. And Lorenzo Vitale never let Lia go.
