The Billionaire's First Glance
He was never supposed to touch her. Loving her might just get him killed.
Zander Cavanaugh is the golden boy—star quarterback, campus heartthrob, and heir to a future paved in fame. But the moment he lays eyes on Isabella Aventini, the brilliant, sharp-tongued daughter of a feared mafia kingpin, everything changes.
Isabella was born into a cage gilded with blood and secrets. Promised since birth to the merciless DeMarco family, she’s spent her life preparing to be a bargaining chip, not someone's true love. Her father—Salvatore Aventini, the ruthless Mafia Don—has done everything to keep her and Zander apart. But fate has other plans.
Now reunited at the same university, Isabella is Zander’s private tutor… and his most dangerous temptation. Their chemistry is electric, undeniable, and forbidden.
Zander knows the rules. Isabella is off-limits. A mafia princess doesn't fall for a civilian. And a civilian doesn’t survive falling for her.
But Zander fell anyway. Hard. And now someone’s cocking a gun behind his head.
He always knew loving her could be his death sentence.
He just never expected to die with her name on his lips.
An intoxicating tale of forbidden desire, deadly alliances, and a love that breaks every rule. Can love survive in a world built on blood and betrayal?
