The King of New York {1}

UNEDITED WATTPAD VERSION!
(This is the arguably rubbish version, ye be warned.)
Includes a sample of the published version as well

***

Life would be so much easier if he wasn't around, but even I couldn't deny that my life seemed to truly begin since his arrival.

Had Lucifer truly been kicked out of heaven because of his own cravings for power, or had he fled after realizing his true happiness lied elsewhere, in a darker atmosphere?

In this world, there is strictly no good or bad, no clear right or wrong.

We make poor decisions, hoping it will prove worthy in the end. When it does, we never look back, but when it doesn't, it tears us apart like ravaged hell hounds.

Perhaps we're all the product of Lucifer and God alike. Born from beauty only to fall to desire.

***

When young baker Rosaria Castellanos is offered a chance to pay her parent's debts to the infamous Romano mafia family by a simple favor, she takes it in a heartbeat.

Everyone expected a happy italian wedding, with too much wine to handle and lots of singing.

Cater pastries, and don't die?

Sounds easy enough.

Nobody expected her to catch the eye of the young boss, Giovanni Romano, nicknamed 'The King of New York' for good reason.

Unknowingly bound to the mafia by birthright, introduced by a dangerous love, Rosaria's identity will soon be forged.

An unlikely heroine, imperfect and anxious, must grow through struggles and gang violence to save those around her.

In even the darkest of places, love can bloom.

Perhaps even in the mafia.
