BLURB
Once upon a time the daughter of
a mafia king fell in love with a foot soldier.
This fairy tale didn’t have a
happy ending.
My sister and I barely managed to
escape alive, and we’ve lived in relative hiding ever since. I’m safe now, but
I can never forget the boy who gave his life to save mine.
Except there are whispers that
he’s still alive. And he’s fighting a war.
Even knowing the risks, I have to
find him. I have to find some way to protect him, the way he protected me. But
he isn’t the boy I left behind. He’s a violent man. A criminal. And he’s been
waiting for me—the final pawn in a dark game of survival and love.

Something
moves me gently, constant and rhythmic like waves. I’m warm. There’s something
soft curling around my arms, wrapped inside my fists. Padding beneath my cheek
that smells like home.
An
unnatural darkness weighs down on me, keeping me from waking up—a demon’s
whisper in my ear. You’re warm, you’re safe. Sleep.
But something is wrong.
But something is wrong.
I
remember falling asleep, so suddenly, remember drinking water that I hadn’t
filled. And I remember the phone call from Amy telling me that Giovanni’s
alive. Impossible.
Awareness
pricks my skin like a cold breeze. Wherever I am, I’m not alone.
I blink
rapidly, forcing my eyes open. They adjust to the darkness quickly, taking in
the tinted windows on either side and the wide leather bench curving beneath
me. I’m in a car. A limo, to be exact. And it’s moving.
On the
opposite side of the long space, a large body reclines. I can see the wide
stance of his legs, the pale white of his shirt. A suit jacket tossed beside
his hip. His face is hidden in the shadows of the vehicle.
I was
raised by the head of the Las Vegas mafia, the capo. I grew up around guns and
violence, so I know when a man is armed. It’s the way he holds himself, the
warning shimmering around him like a dark halo.
This man
is armed and extremely dangerous.
Every
muscle in my body tenses. My mind still swims in thick water, because I must
have been drugged. He drugged me, this faceless man. Why did
he take me? It won’t be anything good, that’s for sure.
Even
worse, I suspect this has something to do with my past, with my family. It’s
messed up that I’d rather be taken by some random psycho. But at least then I’d
have a chance of getting away.
“Who are
you?” I demand, my voice hoarse from whatever drugs they gave me.
There’s a
long pause, the weight of his regard as heavy as a finger trailing down my
neck.
“Have I
really changed that much, bella, that you don’t recognize me?”
