USA Today Bestselling Author AJ Alexander brings you a sister’s best friend romance, where two lives are on a crash course with destiny. dev·as·ta·tion /ˌdevəˈstāSH(ə)n/ noun 1. great destruction or damage. 2. severe and overwhelming shock or grief. Being the next head of La Famiglia strikes fear in everyone around me - except Penelope Star. She's worked her way beneath my hard-as-nails exterior and now, one look from her sends my carefully constructed walls crumbling to the ground. If we're not careful, our secret will be my undoing. When she’s taken, I learn the true meaning of the word devastation. I will cleanse the city of sin one by one to defend La Famiglia, but to protect her ... I’ll burn it all to ash.
