Kidnapped from under her mobster daddy's nose, she has no way of escaping the Hound - the Abbate crime family's most vicious hitman. But maybe she doesn't want to escape. Maybe her savior is the dark beast himself... And to face him, Bianca will have to look right into the eyes of the monster. Matteo Salini is trained to kill. Pumped with drugs and used to blood, he doesn't expect to flinch when he has to take Bianca's life. She's beautiful - there is no doubt in that. But Matteo has women servicing him left and right, and he doesn't need a spoiled mafia princess to screw with his head. Bianca is much more than that though, and her tenderness finds its way under Matteo's rough skin. She might be his only chance of redemption. She's his prisoner, he's her savior. And DARK BLOOD is about to be spilled. Full-length dark romance novel. No cliffhanger. No cheating. HEA. This is the type of book that needs to come with a WARNING! If you don't like your heroes dark & brooding, and your sex rough & dirty, look away now.
