About

For years, Adrian Valenti, one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the city, has been completely uninterested in love. Women constantly try to get his attention. He’s wealthy, intimidating, extremely attractive, and practically everyone knows his name. He could have dated anyone he wanted. But he never did. Not once. No girlfriend. No serious relationship. No woman he genuinely cared about. His closest people eventually stopped expecting him to ever settle down. Adrian himself didn’t believe there was anything wrong with the way he lived. Then, completely unexpectedly, he sees her. And something about her catches his attention in a way nobody ever has before. At first, he doesn’t understand it. He’s never experienced that kind of attachment, so he tries to dismiss it. But he can’t. For the first time in his life, the man who never wanted anyone actually wants someone in his life. And the people around him notice the change before he even admits it to himself. That’s where we can make the story interesting—because falling for her doesn’t suddenly make him a completely different person. He’s still powerful, guarded, stubborn, and involved in a dangerous world. He’s just dealing with something he’s never had to deal with before: genuinely caring about someone.
