As the only son of the ruthless mafia lord Vincenzo Moretti, Adrian has been raised to inherit his father's empire. But when he transfers to a new high school, he meets Elena Bennett, a quiet girl who wants nothing to do with him. Unlike everyone else, Elena isn't impressed by his wealth or intimidated by his cold attitude. In fact, she barely notices him. And that only makes Adrian more determined to get her attention. «"Why do you keep following me?" Elena asked.» «"Because you keep running away."» «"Maybe I'm running because I don't like you."» «Adrian smirked. "You'll change your mind."» What begins as an unwanted friendship slowly becomes something neither of them expected. But Elena doesn't know Adrian's biggest secret. Behind the school uniform is the heir to a dangerous mafia empire—and enemies are already waiting for him to take his father's place. When Adrian's two worlds finally collide, Elena finds herself caught in a life she never wanted. Now Adrian must choose between the legacy his father built... And the quiet girl who somehow became the most important person in his world. He was born into darkness. She was the light he never knew he needed. And falling in love with her may be the one thing that puts them both in danger.
