What were all these new sides Niccolò had shown me tonight? I turned around. "Why?" I slowly brought the word out, taking a step closer to better analyze him. "Every action has its consequences."

"And I am not a man who will stand to be tested, not even by you, mia bambina." ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ From birth, Catalina Villada had grown up in the spotlight. She is the daughter of world-famed Spanish celebrities. Her father serves as a judge on the highest court of Spain, while her mother is an A-list actress. The family even owns one of the world's top wine companies. Although, there is more than meets the eye with the famed family. One night the Villadas meet and negotiate a deal with Don Giuseppe Sorrentino of Cosa Nostra and his eldest son and heir, Niccolò. Protection for the famed family in exchange for a percentage of revenue for their wine company. Like a moth drawn to a flame, Catalina instantly catches Niccolò's attention. He becomes intrigued by the calculated blonde. There was more to her, so much more than she showed to the cameras. The two end up conversing that night, and things go surprisingly well. Except for the hint of sexual tension lingering in the air, Catalina didn't pay too much attention to it. Although she never anticipated that in three years, she'd meet Niccolò again in Ibiza. Or the whirlwind romance that would form between the two of them and the obstacles that would try to pull them apart. After all, all that glitters is not gold. ••• Rankings ✨✨ #1 in #forbidden #2 in #bdsm
