Giuseppe isn't just the son of the Don, but he's also destined to lead the family after his death. A charmer without even trying, he sets Alaia's heart ablaze the first time their eyes meet. He's completely obsessive and possessive, not to mention dangerously cocky. His ocean-blue eyes gleam when he promises he'll marry her one day, despite his family's reluctance. He's white and Italian, and she's black and American. It just isn't meant to happen. But when all plans are thrown out the window, it's difficult to follow their norms. As he becomes the most important man in the country, his eyes focus on just one goal: claiming Alaia's wild heart. She's a little reluctant at first, but after each date and ridiculously expensive gift, she realizes there's something hidden in his heart. He might be ruthless to his enemies, but to her, he's... well, he's everything she could ever ask for. As things burn hotter than ever between the two of them, she eventually finds out she's pregnant. Giuseppe has always dreamed of becoming a father and now that he is, he's even more protective of her. But Alaia isn't really Alaia and as lies finally surface, he asks himself: can he ever forgive her? Did she ever even... love him?
