The Mafia's Pawn (a love forbidden)

Avery has always been abused and molested, unloved by her own father for reasons beyond her control. Feeling like a stranger in her own home, she went to boarding schools in search of an escape. She couldn't even run away, because everyone that knew the mafia was afraid of her father, but that all changes when she is taken away by Dario Moretti, a powerful and enigmatic mafia leader with a vendetta against her father.
What begins as a quest for revenge and act of impulse soon turns into something deeper as Dario starts getting curious about her and wanting to know more. Slowly, they find themselves falling in love with each other, but as the layers of their past unravel, shocking revelations come to light—Avery is not who she thought she was, and her connection to Dario runs deeper than either of them imagined.
Caught between love and betrayal, Avery and Dario must face the truth about their families while still facing treacherous loyalties and deadly enemies. As danger closes in, will their bond survive the secrets threatening to tear them apart? Or will the past destroy their chance at a future together?
