Part of Series

You've met the Morelli family, now delve into the love story of Mateo's callous brother, Dante Morelli... Loving Dante was my original sin. They warned me of the slippery slope, the moral corruption, the outright debasement of the Morelli family. They warned me not to get involved. Not to love him. I didn’t listen. I thought I would be his saving grace. I was a fool. Once upon a time, Dante Morelli was the source of my happiness, the powerful embrace which would always keep me safe and loved. Now, Dante Morelli is the source of every moment of pain, every moment of grief, every heart-breaking moment of my young life. Once, his love was my lifeblood. Now, his love is my prison. Once, I thought it might kill me to leave him. Now, I know he will never let me go. Warnings: Dark romance. Bad guy hero. This is a comprehensive series, so you'll have a MUCH better time with Dante's story if you have read the entire Morelli family series first. The author does NOT recommend trying to read this book as a standalone if you have not read the previous Morelli family series books. The Morelli story begins in ACCIDENTAL WITNESS, not Dante's book.

If you need to email her, she can be reached at sammarianoauthor@gmail.com (but she is sometimes tardy about checking email. Mateo is very demanding). Sign up for Sam's mailing list (to stay up to date on current projects—she won't spam you! Only for notification of new releases or book sales.) All of Sam's books are available on Amazon! (And don't forget to follow Sam's Amazon Author page to get notified about the newest releases.) Sam Mariano has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. She lives in Ohio and has a sweet and wonderful daughter. Because of You was her first finished story (she started writing it when she was 18) and due to a full-time work and college schedule, it took her years to finish. She has also been telling people for years that there would never be a sequel (sorry, guys!)…which turned out to be a lie. Sam Mariano is currently working on Dante’s book (if you’re a Morelli reader) and some other WIP. Feel free to find her on Facebook, Goodreads, or her blog—she loves hearing from readers!
