Saving My Cinderella (Mafia)

In the dangerous, high-stakes world of the Mafia, where power and loyalty rule, Saving My Cinderella is a heart-pounding and passionate romance that explores themes of fate, redemption, and the unlikeliest of love stories. It is a tale of a ruthless Mafia heir, a woman trapped by circumstance, and a love that could either save them or destroy everything they hold dear.

Luca DeMarco was born into the criminal empire. As the only son of the head of one of the most powerful Mafia families, Luca's life has always been ruled by violence, control, and the cold, calculating nature of the underworld. He's ruthless, calculating, and the epitome of everything feared in the Mafia world. From a young age, he's been trained to take over his father's empire, learning the art of manipulation, combat, and the business of crime. Trust is a luxury he cannot afford, and love is a weakness he refuses to embrace.

But when Luca's path crosses with Emma Martinez, a young woman from the streets, his world begins to shift. Emma has spent her life in the shadows, never fully belonging anywhere. Raised in foster care and working multiple jobs to survive, she's learned to stay invisible, to keep her head down, and avoid drawing attention to herself. Her life is one of struggle and uncertainty, until one fateful night, when she becomes a pawn in a Mafia game.

Emma's father owes a massive debt to the DeMarco family, and when he can't pay it back, Emma is taken as collateral. The cold and dangerous Luca, hardened by years of Mafia life, has no interest in her-except that she is his leverage. But when he meets Emma, he is struck by her beauty, her strength, and her defiance. She is unlike anyone he's ever encountered. Instead of cowering in fear, Emma stands tall, refusing to let the weight of her circumstances break her spirit.

Luca's initial plan is simple: keep her under his control, use her as a bargaining chip, and make sure her family learns the consequences of crossing the DeMarco family. However, as time goes on, Luca begins to see more in Emma than just a pawn in a dangerous game. Beneath her tough exterior, he discovers a woman of deep strength, compassion, and resilience. The more time he spends with her, the more his cold, calculating heart begins to thaw. For the first time in years, Luca begins to question the path he's been forced to follow.

Emma, on the other hand, struggles with her growing feelings for Luca. At first, she sees him as the enemy-an embodiment of everything that has ruined her life. But as she learns more about his own battles with power, legacy, and the dark world he inhabits, she begins to see the man beneath the ruthless exterior. She begins to understand that Luca is not just a villain but a man trapped by his own past, haunted by the very thing that has made him who he is.

As their connection deepens, they both realize that their love is forbidden-an alliance that could bring war between two powerful families. Enemies from both sides see their growing relationship as a threat, and danger begins to close in from every corner. Emma becomes more than just a piece of leverage; she becomes the one thing Luca can't bear to lose, the one person who has the power to change him forever.
