MasukSasha Smith is the owner of an exclusive dance club catering to the rich and arrogant. When one of her favorite customers and close friends is missing from his regular spot at the bar, she goes in search of him. Finding him very ill, lonely and at risk, she agrees to move in with him temporarily until he's feeling better. When Rin Allegretti, Italian mafia Don, finds out his grandfather has an exotic dancer living in his house, he rallies his family to the family home to thwart whatever the gold-digging girl's plans might be for his grandfather. Rin finds himself drawn to the younger woman and wanting to protect her from the harshness of the family he himself dropped on her. Sasha finds herself in the midst of family drama, under scrutiny of an attractive older man and falling in over her head. She herself comes from a similar family and she knows the dangers of tangling with a boss, especially one of a rival family. She knows once he realizes who her family are, there will be hell to pay. Rin wants only to protect the little dancer and to keep her safe, even if it means, opening his heart up for the very first time. Can he convince her he’s not the monster mobster she believes him to be?
Lihat lebih banyakHaltz is the name of one of the three vampire clans in the world. They are the strongest vampire clan with the percentage of pure vampire blood reaching fifty percent in the main family.
Located in the south, Haltz is surrounded by an area of pine-dominated forests called the Silver Forest, a humid area. This area is also one of the three areas that are strictly forbidden to enter for humans.
Each vampire clan is led by one of the strongest vampires in the main family or is determined by the rules of a vampire committee called the Harawaltz. But in the unique case belonging to the Haltz clan, the first child chosen becomes the leader.
The leader of each clan is addressed by the title "Your Majesty", having almost the same status as "King". It follows the same governance procedures as the Aima Kingdom, a kingdom that collapsed ten centuries ago.
Just like the Aima Kingdom, the Majesty of each clan has a confidant or what is often called His Majesty's right hand. They are people who are elected based on trust, not based on politics or interests.
Each clan including Haltz, has its own territory, with a castle that stands in the area as a sign of ownership, and also each clan has an official symbol and name that is used in formal events or activities.
***
With a fifty percent percentage of pure vampire blood in their family, Haltz became the clan that dominated the other two clans. However, with Harawaltz, Haltz's dominance is limited.
Haltz's limited dominance also comes from a senior vampire who comes from a clan that has the weakest percentage of pure vampire blood, called Waltz. Nonetheless, this senior vampire had a sizeable role in Harawaltz.
The involvement and political manipulation carried out by the senior vampire put Haltz in a difficult position. Haltz must be smart to maneuver if they do not want to lose their dominance or even undermine their power.

“This is bullshit,” Chastity complained as she wiped sweat off her forehead. “Who the hell thought it was a good idea to do this?”Sonny laughed at the woman’s misery as he patted the head of the dog who had just returned with the ball, he had tossed for her. “It’s not so bad. Could be worse.”“It’s hotter than the sun here,” Chas lifted a glass of sweet tea to her lips and chugged it like it was a beer. “I literally just took a cold shower and I’m sweaty again. Texas is too hot.”Sasha opened one eye from where she lay in the hammock and stretched, “he’s right. It could be worse. They could have brought you along on their little cattle drive and then the campout last night. Rin made them eat beans and hotdogs off a campfire.”“How do you know? Did he message you?” Chas sat up and glowered at her. “They said they weren’t bringing p
Sasha curled up next to Rin in bed, the excitement of the last forty-eight hours dissipating and exhaustion taking over. He was holding her tight, her head resting on his bare chest and his fingers playing with the silky strands of her hair as they cuddled.“You won my mother over tonight,” he said suddenly.“I did?” she was surprised.“You had dad at manicotti but the minute you put leather on and rocked out to Janet Jackson she was hooked. It seems it was one of her favorite songs as a teenager.” He chuckled, “also, she said something about being terrified of the way you command the attention of every evil person she’s ever seen. She recognized one of the men in the club as a man she and Dad ran across once in Sicily on a vacation. It seems they pissed the man off and he threatened to end them.”“Really? Who?”“Saul –”Before he could finish speaking Sasha
Sasha stood still while Rin helped peel the almost painted on leather from her body. The entire day she had waited for him to call her and demand she come home. Then she expected text messages of the same. Instead, he’d given her radio silence and she had considered maybe he had just become fed up with her wild temper and stomping out on him.Most of her day she had dreaded coming to the floor and him not showing up. Even when his application and the corresponding fee had come through, she had thought perhaps he was doing it because Sonny had asked him to. This was a place where Sonny had conducted a lot of business in his heyday. It only made sense Rin did the same.Now he was here behind her, sliding the garment over her hips and his lips pressed to her shoulder and she closed her eyes at the myriad of feelings she had. “I thought I might have pushed my luck one time too many. You didn’t call even once today and I knew you were angry about me smacking up your guy.”“Are you kidding?
The house lights lowered around the booths and seating areas and tables surrounding the main stage. They must be nearing show time, Rin considered as the crowd were making their way to tables or inching up to the bar.Rin noted the stage was massive, the big black curtains likely made of velvet were shut. While there were absolutely poles which ran from fixtures, the set-up was definitely more of a Vegas show than what he expected. It was high-end and now he understood where his million-dollar membership fee was going. When he’d balked at the fee, Sonny had laughed at him telling him it was a one-time fee and the best money he’d ever spend.He felt Marcello’s hand on his shoulder warningly and he looked up and then followed the man’s gaze. Edik Volkov was heading straight in his direction. He got off the bar stool and accepted the man’s hand but the older man pulled him into a tight hug.“Rin, I just left Sasha backstage. What
Her shower had made her feel a bit better and now dressed in a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt with Gina’s emblazoned across the chest, she knew she had to go face the music. Pulling the bedroom door open she heard the deep resonance of Rin in Sonny’s room chatting and she decided sh
Sasha entered her parent’s home with a strong sense of hesitation. Her mother was the queen of seeing through Sasha’s every emotion. While she may have been a young mother and Sasha may have grown up in a rough and dangerous world where her mother had to be tougher than most on her, she had
As she wrapped her legs around Rin’s waist and dug her fingers into his hair to kiss him back, she felt an inkling of fear grip her. If her father found out she was screwing around with Don Allegretti, he’d ship her to her grandfather without a second thought, she was certain of it. Yet, she
Rin sat behind his grandfather’s desk and plugged away at the work in front of him on his laptop. His eyes kept flicking to the key on the desk where he had left it after Sasha had slipped it to him. Her movements had been slick and practiced and he chuckled as he realized there was more to
