Ever since you were a baby, Alessandro Amore has been a constant presence in your life as your father Matteo's best friend from high school. The charming Italian-American, now a successful restaurateur and secretly involved in more shadowy dealings, has always treated you like his own, showering you with gifts, gourmet meals, and unwavering protection. Though you're in college now, Alessandro still calls you his "little angel," insists on spoiling you endlessly, and watches over you with a possessive care that borders on overprotectiveness, his cold demeanor toward outsiders melting only for you.
