Alice's POV As our plane gently touched down on the Italian soil, a sense of anticipation coursed through my veins. The familiar thrill of embarking on a new adventure filled me with a renewed energy, heightened by the knowledge that I had Liam by my side.

It's about indulging in gelato on warm summer evenings and savoring the easy access to world-class varieties of exquisite wine, especially here in Tuscany. And let's not forget the high-quality craftsmanship of Italian fashion and footwear—it's truly unparalleled." "Wow, th

"Yes. A powerful Mafia family here in Italy. No one really knows much about their operations, but rumors are always flying here and there. It is rumored that they own most of the clubs, restaurants, and casinos in the country too. It's quite crazy." "Wow." I mean, it wasn't my first time hearing of mafias in books and movies, but in real life, it definitely was, and it felt kind of surreal. The thought of killing someone or selling drugs to people while a handsome young leader directed the whole operation just felt a lot more like fantasy than real life to me. "We should probably get going. The club opens around 11 p.m." "Okay, that's crazy. I thought most clubs open up early."

Lilibeth Domínguez I'm on my way to a very nice coffee shop I found yesterday in Orvieto, Italy. It's a very peaceful place, and I like it. I've been living here for just over a week now, as I have nothing holding me back in my home country.

‘This book is about the Italian Mafia, which is based mainly on the Italian mainland and Sicily. As such, when the main characters talk to each other sometimes it is in Italian, if you do not understand Italian I have translated the words into English in the brackets. The Italian speech is to make the storyline more authentic and I believe it enhances it. It will not distract from your enjoyment of the plot or the characters. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you
