Roughnecks

Kalnix, a desperate pickpocket, wanted to get herself and her twin sister out of the slums. She was willing to do anything to escape the extreme poverty and violence that surrounded her, but she never expected to fall in love with the roughneck Amato-Italian Nicola Valenti. He wanted no other woman. The love Nicola felt for Kalnix was fierce and dangerous. She was the only ray of sunshine in his miserable life. Eventually, the lovesick criminals become some of the founding members of the Xionken Gang. The gang starts selling bootleg liquor during Arardosa Kingdom's prohibition period. And nothing goes as planned. Will Kalnix and her roughneck ever get their happily-ever-after? (This tale contains violence, explicit sexual content, and a steamy fairy-tale retelling.
