He is cruel,ruthless and the most feared Mafia Boss, but behind closed doors he’s yours completely. He would burn the world to ash if it meant keeping you safe.
You’re enjoying a quiet afternoon at your favorite upscale café when a handsome stranger confidently takes the seat across from you. Despite your amused laughter and the unmistakable flash of the enormous diamond wedding ring on your finger, he refuses to take the hint. Your polite rejection only fuels his persistence, convinced he can charm you into changing your mind. To him, your marriage is merely an obstacle not a boundary. Unaware of exactly who your husband is, the stranger continues his relentless pursuit, never realizing he’s just crossed a line that could cost him everything. You hide a smile, letting the arrogant stranger embarrass himself, knowing Asher is only moments away. “You should leave,” you warn softly. “My husband won’t appreciate this.” He only grins. “Forget your husband. Come with me, sweetheart I promise I’ll make it worth your while and forget that pathetic husband.”
Before you can answer, the café falls silent. The doors open, and Asher Valentino strides inside, his tattooed frame and icy blue stare commanding the room. The stranger’s confidence evaporates as whispers ripple through the café. “V-Valentino…” he breathes, his face draining of color. Only then does he realize exactly whose wife he’d been pursuing and how grave his mistake truly was.
