Barry Sloane wasn’t a man of emotions. As an elite agent for the government, his job was to extract information—no questions, no doubts, no distractions. He was trained to be cold, calculating, and efficient. But now, standing in the shadow of a towering mansion in a city that never seemed to sleep, the lines between duty and desire had blurred.

He had been assigned to infiltrate the Ricci family, a powerful mafia dynasty with ties that ran deeper than anyone realized. The patriarch, Antonio Ricci, was a figure who commanded fear and respect across the country. To bring him down, Barry needed inside access, and the only way to do that was through his daughter...

She was a woman of striking beauty—intelligent, elegant but kind and gentle. Her reputation for being a soft person and not ruthless like her father made her both a target and a mystery. It was whispered that she was always out taking care of homeless kids and giving them food. Barry’s mission was simple: get close to her, earn her trust, and learn the secrets hidden within the Ricci empire.

The plan was straightforward. He would pose as a wealthy businessman, using his charm to get a date with the girl. From there, he would weave his way into the Ricci inner circle and gather the intel he needed. Nothing complicated.

The night of the date arrived.

Barry stood at the entrance of the Ricci estate, adjusting his tie and mentally rehearsing his lines. He had been in risky situations before, but this felt different. The Ricci's daughter wasn’t just another target. She was more...and for sure she would see through any falsehoods if he wasn’t careful.
