Astraea Valeska Romanov comes from the most dangerous Italian mafia, the Hunter's Mafia, in the world. The don of this mafia is Diego Romanov, a ruthless and dangerous man. Astraea is the youngest child, with an older sister and two older brothers. Her sister, Camilla Diaz Romanov, is perfect. She gets the most attention because she overall looks like the definition of a princess. Astraea never liked attention. She had common features, making her blend in. While Camilla is an innocent, classic rich girl, Astraea is a badass, dangerous girl. Astraea has secrets and she's been hurt a both physically and emotionally. She'd never let anyone know though, as she'd prefer to suffer in silence.
The Hunter's Mafia has an equally dangerous enemy, which is the most dangerous Spanish mafia, the Devil's Mafia, in the world. Carlos Angelo DeLuca is the don of this mafia. He is the man that all ladies love, and all men fear. Actually, everyone fears him. He is cold, heartless and shows mercy to no one.
The Hunter's Mafia decides to form an alliance with the Devil's Mafia by sending one of his daughters for Carlos to marry. Everyone expects Carlos to choose the obvious option; Camilla, but he shocks them by choosing none other than Astraea. Astraea has no choice in this, so she can do nothing but accept. One problem though: Astraea felt as if she was taking Camilla's dream away from her, but she chose to do this for her family's sake.
Why did Carlos choose Astraea? What does this alliance mean for both their futures? What will happen when an angel with a heart of gold steps into the arms of the devil with a heart of stone?

Quote : You are like a rose, so beautifully tempting but the second I came within your space, I was pricked by your sharp, cruel thorns. You drowned me in your toxins, like you were a drink of poison that I kept drinking even when my own heart couldn't take it. You were an ocean that sank me in sorrows. Like the sun, you burned me and left unhealed wounds on my skin, blinding me with your beauty just to leave me reduced to burnt ashes.
