“Good morning, bella mia.”
He brought my earlobe into his mouth. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so I kept my eyes shut.
“I know you’re awake, Freya,” He kissed my neck. “Not gonna open your eyes? Okay, let’s play…”
I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so the most dangerous mafia don in the country could slide his body between them.
When Freya wakes up in an Italian villa next to a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea how she got there. As she examines the mysterious Greek god of a man next to her, she tries to remember… was he an innocent one-night stand? Or something else?

“N-no…,” I begged, coming to my senses.
He leaned in until I could smell the mint on his breath.
“No?” He chuckled. “Oh my dear, I don’t think you understand how this works yet…”
