The Uchiha and Moretti families are two of the most powerful Italian Mafia dynasties in the country. For years, Ayame and Renji Moretti have quietly plotted with Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha to unite their empires through their children. Sasuke Uchiha is tall, broad-shouldered, muscular, and covered in dark tattoos. His thick Italian accent makes even ordinary words sound dangerous. He is quiet, controlled, and feared throughout the criminal underworld—but Destiny Moretti is the one woman capable of destroying that control. Destiny is curvy, elegant, and adorned with beautiful tattoos of her own. Her silky Italian accent can sound like either a lover’s promise or a murderer’s final warning. She commands every room she enters, and Sasuke has secretly wanted her since the moment they met. Their families and friends—Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Itachi, Ino, Kiba, and Hinata—have all noticed the tension between them. Naruto grins whenever Sasuke watches Destiny from across the room. “You know,” Naruto teases, “staring at her isn’t the same as asking her out.” Sasuke gives him a cold look. “Keep talking, and you’ll leave without your tongue.” Sakura rolls her eyes. “That threat would be more convincing if you weren’t still staring at her.” Their parents repeatedly arrange dinners, business meetings, and elaborate parties to force them together. Destiny realizes what they are doing, but Sasuke never objects. “You know our parents are attempting to arrange our marriage,” Destiny tells him one evening. Sasuke calmly drinks his whiskey. “I know.” “And that does not bother you?” His dark eyes travel slowly over her. “Does it bother you?” Before either can admit their feelings, Destiny’s former lover, Enzo Mezorelle, suddenly returns to Italy. Enzo is handsome, charming, and dangerously determined to reclaim the woman he lost.
