They call him the Joker, but he doesn't joke. He doesn't even smile- until her. She's independent, stubborn, strong and she won't be one of his toys. He's not like other men; he takes what he wants and he wants her. There are whispers he's a gangster...that his family has ties to the Italian Mafia. No one dares to cross him until a hit is put out on his newest obsession. What they don't know is just how crazy he really is when it comes to her. He'll do anything- even go to war. Standalone, HEA, NO cheating
