How Love Works (MAFIA)
In the brutal and unforgiving world of the mafia, love isn't a luxury-it's a weapon. For Alessandra "Aless" Moretti, the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, love has always been a distant, naive concept. Raised in a world where loyalty, power, and control were the only things that mattered, Aless's heart has never had a place to grow. That is, until Luca DeMarco enters her life.
Luca is a man who doesn't belong in her world-a man born from a family once crushed by the Moretti empire. With a reputation as deadly as any mafia enforcer, Luca has spent years rebuilding his family's name, driven by a thirst for revenge and the desire to take back what was stolen. When he's assigned to work with Alessandra as part of a fragile alliance between their two families, the last thing he expects is to be drawn to her.
From their very first encounter, there's an undeniable spark between them. Aless, who has spent years guarding her emotions, finds herself intrigued by Luca's sharp wit, quiet intensity, and the fire that burns in his eyes. Despite her father's wishes to marry her off to solidify their power, Aless begins to question everything she's been taught about love, loyalty, and control.
Luca, too, finds himself torn between his need for vengeance and an overwhelming attraction to the woman who could either ruin him or save him. As their paths become increasingly entangled, their growing connection threatens to derail everything they've both worked for. Trust becomes a precious commodity, and the more they learn about each other's worlds, the more they realize that love in the mafia isn't just about passion-it's about survival.
As dangerous secrets surface, and enemies close in from all sides, Aless and Luca must decide whether their love is worth the risk of everything they've ever known. Can two people from opposite sides of a war-torn family find a way to be together, or will the very forces that brought them together tear them apart?
