I wrote this book with my heart, for all those who have ever sought refuge, for those who have felt invisible in the eyes of others. The main goal of this book is not to change the world, but to change the way you look at relationships between people. –Hazel Diaz, author of Cuero Assasino

Vol. 1

In the depths of the slums of Naples, a young woman named Ayhan struggles to survive. Having lived on the streets since childhood, she is familiar with vice, violence, and the darker sides of human nature, yet she fights hard not to succumb to these vices. One day, driven by hunger, she breaks into the often-empty villa of the mafia leaders to steal food and comes face to face with her worst nightmare: a man with mismatched eyes who terrifies her and is known as Aslan.

Aslan Dell’Era is the heir to one of Italy’s most powerful criminal organizations, and his arrogance is only matched by his striking beauty. His enemies fear him, recognizing him by the gun and katana he always carries. Above all, Aslan is determined to track down the intruder who dared to enter his villa.

Ayhan is about to be caught in her fate, finding herself in the hands of the mafia, who will offer her a peculiar deal. Aslan is compelled to draw closer to the bold and reckless Ayhan, whose past as a hitwoman will soon come to light. She will disrupt the established order within the Italian mafia and challenge Aslan’s world.

Vol. 2 – April 2026 – 608 pp.

Ayhan went from being homeless on the streets of Scampia to becoming the wife of the heir to the Italian mafia. This forced proximity created tense relations with her husband, Aslan, but also aroused the young woman’s curiosity.

Upon entering the clan’s beautiful villas, she found a family, but she senses that everyone has a dark side and secrets they are hiding. She barely has time to ponder the question before she finds herself whisked away to Japan with Aslan. A part of the young man’s life is revealed, and Ayhan is stunned to learn that he is also the heir to a yakuza clan.

His Japanese grandfather is determined to keep Aslan in his country but refuses to allow him to marry Ayhan. Aslan will have to assume his responsibilities in both countries and, above all, make a choice concerning Ayhan. Despite his icy temperament, his feelings for the young woman will prevail and he will find it difficult to restrain them.

For her part, Ayhan doubts her attachment to Aslan and never knows how to react to this indecisive and changeable man. But above all, she has helped the Dell’Era family in their secret quest and is now far too involved not to demand to know more…
