No Strings Attached

INTRODUCTION & DISCLAIMERS

Hey guys welcome to No Strings Attached; it's my third book and it is the third book in my De Santis series.

This is a Wattpad story so obviously there are going to be parts which are not realistic. The mafia isn't like this in real life and I have no intention of trying to glamorise and/or romanticise them and the very real things they do; this is purely for my own entertainment because I'm bored.

Speaking of the mafia, this is a mafia story. This means the male lead is not going to be a considerably nice person at the beginning, neither is the female lead, but I have written the male lead to be this way. If you cannot handle some darker romance and darker themes then this isn't for you and I suggest you not read this because I don't want my comments filled with "he's so toxic" etc. The male lead is supposed to be a cruel and rude person, that is the way I have decided to write this story and the way I want it to go, so if you cannot handle that I suggest you leave now.

All photos used at from Pinterest so all credit goes to their rightful owners however all writing is my own so don't steal my shit. If you do I'll come for you 🤭

Some topics/things which will be mentioned or will be themes in the book (I will put a TW before each chapter if it involves any of the first 3)
- mature sexual content
- mentions of child abuse
- mentions of panic attacks/leads experiencing panic attacks
- violence (guns, knives etc) and killing
That's all I can think of for now but I will add any more if they become part of the story
There will be mature language throughout the entire book so if that bothers you then feel free to leave

And because I love a good trope, this book is for the girlies who like:
- enemies to lovers
- forced close proximity
- slow burn
- "just once"
- dark romance

I don't know how often I'll update this book, but for now I'll aim for at least once a week, although probably twice a week. I'm still in school and have a shit tonne of homework as well as a job so bare with me

Lastly; English is my only language so all others used (in this book Italian) are done via Google Translate (the Duolingo owl is SCREAMING at me rn) so if somethings translated wrong please let me know so I can correct it and make sure to get mad at Google Translate not me :)
