Cerberus (women of mafia book 1)

In a world filled with chaos, violence, and shadows, there exists a man named Cerberus. Known for his ferocity, cruelty, and unyielding nature, he reigns over the notorious Black Cross Mafia, a powerful crime syndicate, earning him this moniker at the age of 30. Gabriel, fearlessly leading his 'family,' has built his empire on a foundation of cold-hearted ambition and unapologetic desire. Meanwhile, amidst the turmoil, Ariel stands as an 18-year-old beacon of innocence. A gentle, shy high school girl with a heart full of compassion, she cherishes the belief that every person deserves a chance and sees the goodness in others, even when they struggle to see it themselves. This naive optimist represents a stark contrast to Gabriel's dark world. Their paths are destined to cross, and as their lives intertwine, it becomes a question: Will the relentless gangster find redemption through the angelic presence, or will the purity of Ariel's soul succumb to the harsh realities he embodies? The encounter promises to alter the course of both their lives forever.
