the kingmaker (#2)

"The Mob King and His Enemy's Daughter"

​

Natalia grew up under her father, Vito Gambino, the most ruthless and most hated mobster the world had ever seen. Through her observing eye, she learned how to eat or be eaten. However, she was locked away like a princess in a tower. When Vito forces Natalia's hand to his underboss, she can't help but want out of the cage her father, the king of Chicago, put her in.

​

Alessandro Rubino, a quiet but highly intelligent man, just so happens to be the one to set her free. 

He's after her castle, ready to capture the King and force the hand of the princess. The only thing is, Natalia just might be escaping one cage just to end up in another.

​

"Look at you..." he murmured, his breath warm against my neck.

 

My body betrayed me, trembling as his hand traced lower, slow and deliberate.

​

"...never forget who you belong to, Natalia."

​

I swallowed, my voice barely a whisper. "I won't."
