This book right here, ooooooft!!! I have so much love and adoration for Cynthia's writing skills, her character building and plot building is truly something else! My favourite Dark Mafia Romance to date!!!!
Gianna, a tough, fiesty princepa, who knows what she wants, and how to get it. And isn't afraid of a little violence.
Mayan, an "uncivilised misfit", who grips you by the throat in his love and loyalty.
*A Mafia Queen, needs a Mafia King, and Gianna finds exactly that in Mayan*
