how to be a mafia boss

When **Isla Monroe**, a medical student facing hardships and carrying a sorrowful history, leaps into an icy lake to rescue a man from drowning, she remains unaware that she has put her life on the line for Lorenzo De Luca—Valmont City’s most notorious mafia leader. Lorenzo, weary of his harsh and unfeeling life, viewed death as his sole means of escape. However, Isla’s impulsive gesture of compassion brings him back, compelling him to face a reality he believed he could escape from. Upon waking in her small apartment, his initial response is distrust rather than thankfulness. He has spent too much time in the dark to trust in chance. However, Isla fears him not—and that renders her perilous. He vanishes silently, making Isla think their lives will never intersect again. However, two months later, Lorenzo bursts back into her life—not to express gratitude, but to take her. His foes have found out about the woman who rescued him, and now she’s in danger. Ensuring her safety requires bringing her into his perilous realm—regardless of her desires. As their lives intersect, Isla struggles to deny the man who views her as his opportunity for redemption, while Lorenzo is captivated by the only woman unafraid to confront him. As his foes surround him, they must choose—can love endure in a realm founded on brutality, or will Isla turn into the one thing Lorenzo is unable to safeguard? And as war breaks out in Valmont City, one question lingers: Did Isla redeem a shattered man… or ignite his most perilous nature?
