She dropped into my world unannounced and broke through my security like a thief in the night. There was only one thing to do with her. Kill her. Yet I didn’t. Instead, I made her a deal. Her life for her friends. She’s mine now, and together our world is untouchable. Sparks fly between the two of us but is it business as usual? Or do I let her earn a part of my heart?

I traded my place with the MC for a place in the Mafia. As much as I loved my brothers, this felt right. Enzo gave me the tools I needed to be my true self. He understood me. Then she walked into the picture. His cousin, completely off-limits to me. She pushed my buttons until I nearly snapped, and I couldn’t snap. I had to maintain control. A control that she was slowly slipping away from me. She doesn’t understand what she’s doing…until it’s too late.

It took me a long time to figure out who I was. It took longer to accept it. I was thrust into a world that I knew very little about, but I needed to be there. It was my family. I went through every struggle, just as I had as a kid until I met her. Now I want nothing more than to take her pain and make it mine. I want to grab hold of her fears and wrestle them back into the dark. The only question is, will she let me or will she push me away?
