Description

At eighteen years old, Hans had the world at his fingertips with a life of luxury. His mother was a clothing designer and model, his father was a politician, but his family had a secret. They were the Icelandic Mafia. Hans' road was laid with trouble, blood, money, and death. The only question was if he would survive it or not. Emily Victors was the young daughter and Heiress to the Victors family mob. As a young black woman in a predominately white country, she kept mostly to herself until she met Hans Stevensson. He turned her world upside down, but it wasn't as if she didn't love it... or him. Caught in the crossfire between two families, Emily and Hans face challenges while keeping their love for each other out of reach of those who would tear it apart.
