Proud Souls

A difficult character, inaccessibility, intelligence, and a sense of self-worth. Vitalia Condello was born into a family of the Italo-Russian mafia, but lost her parents too early. Raised within one of the main criminal groups in Italy—the ’Ndrangheta—she lived with full confidence that she could get by without sham marriages and with complete freedom of choice, until one day she was forced to kill a person.

Cristiano Rinaldi, a pure-blooded Italian, calculating and cold-blooded—the head of the largest agglomeration of Canada, centered in Toronto.

Enchanted by the girl, he decides to enter into marriage, thereby saving her from those who would want to punish her for the murder.

Is it possible to tame stubbornness and learn to love cold-bloodedness?
