Kind hearted, Sweet, Intriguing, Beautiful but rather innocent are often used to describe Kira Martello, a twenty year old woman living in the upscale part of New York. She is afraid of taking risk because "you may not realise the danger that lies around until its too late". Her best friends always tell her to live a little before her shell swallows her whole. At the age of eighteen Damian Vataly inherited his father's business and now 10 years later he is truly feared by the entire world. He his known as boss to the mafia family and evil to those who feared him. But what happened when he saw a rare beauty wandering in the dark clueless to what lurk in the shadows at night. He found her innocence rather intriguing and at that point he knew he had to protect her even if it meant claiming her as his. In a world where drugs is illegal, death is a must, guns and blood are symbols. How can he protect someone as fragile as her without endangering her life in the process? And can she be the one to melt his ice of a heart?
