(Spin-off to Contrasting Similarities series. Can be read as a STANDALONE.)

Lucian and Anastasia have a history. One that consists of fleeting love and lasting pain.

The ruthless Italian Mafia leader. The mountain that protects his little bubble from the rest of the world. The bubble only few get an entry to. Lucian Zane Mazzanti is a broken soul inside a strong leader.

The tough Russian Mafia leader. The girl who has a crown on her head. The crown that had her name inscribed on it but somehow never felt like it belonged where it was. Anastasia Vera Petrov is a bubbly girl inside a tough Donna.

All they have in common are hearts hidden deep inside, shied away from the world, just like their inner child.

As another twist leads to their paths crossing for a second time, will they bring out who they truly are?

22 parts Ongoing Mature
Valentina Anastasia Adamovich is no ordinary woman. The daughter of a feared Russian mafia kingpin, she inherited a legacy soaked in blood. Now, as the first female to ever command an army of ruthless, unpredictable men and women, she is a force to be reckoned with. Trained from birth to be a killing machine, she has the blood of a thousand lives on her hands. But the question remains: Can she carry out her next mission-or will her deadly instincts fail her? Dante Azzaro, the indomitable leader of the Italian mafia, is a man whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it. Cold, calculating, and with one of the most powerful syndicates in the world at his disposal, Dante is a ruthless killer. When a striking woman-Valentina herself-suddenly crosses his path, even he is taken aback. But what happens when a deadly collision between them is inevitable? Not even he knows. When the Italian mafia finds itself compromised by a series of stolen shipments, Dante faces an impossible choice: ally with the Russians, or risk everything for revenge. Will he bend, or will he break? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ She aims her gun at me in an instant, and the men in the room draw their weapons, all pointing at her. She grabs the file, and turns her back on me, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she heads toward the door. I watch her walk away, her hips swaying like she's too damn comfortable in a place she shouldn't even be. I want to feel anger and irritation, but what I feel instead is something more dangerous something that I'm not ready to name. I've dealt with stubborn people before, but Valentina, she's a different breed. "Valentina," I call, keeping my voice controlled, like I'm not about to lose my mind over the mess I'm in. She doesn't stop. I didn't expect her to. She's too damn proud. I keep my eyes on her, feeling the weight of the gun still strapped to my side. She doesn't know it, but I'm always three steps ahead. Always. MATURE CONTENT 18+
