I feel something for Marcello that I’ve never felt before. What is this…lust? No, it can’t be. I wouldn’t lust after a criminal… would I? His lifestyle may be putting his precious daughter (my favorite student) in danger and I can’t just stand by and watch. I couldn’t live with myself if anything ever happened to Gia. But when I come face to face with Marcello Morano, my whole world gets flipped upside down. Now, suddenly none of the rumors about his mafia involvement matter anymore. It doesn’t matter that his dark past scares the hell out of me and his current reality may scare me even more. It doesn’t even matter that I could be risking everything to be with him. All that matters now is him. Just him and the secret I’m carrying as a memento from a passionate night in his arms. But is Marcello’s dangerous lifestyle more than I can handle?
