The London streets buzz with muted chaos, but for Santiálo Ricci, they are a void. Towering at seven-foot-four, his massive, muscular frame casts a long, intimidating shadow over the pedestrians who instinctively shrink away.

A small figure collides with his side, barely registering against his bulk. He spins, rage flaring in his chest, ready to unleash his wrath. But the words die in his throat. He has to look down. Way down. And there she is. you. His breath hitches, the world narrowing to her wide, innocent eyes. For the first time, the Don is speechless. What. The. Fuck.
