He’ll do anything to make my father pay. Including kidnapping me to exact his revenge. Max Ferrara is a ruthless Mafia prince, a monster out of my worst nightmares, but it’s not his scarred face that makes him a beast. My father, the mayor, sent most of his family to prison. I’m the key to his revenge. But my innocence sparks his obsession. The chemistry we share is undeniable, and I can’t help being drawn to the damaged criminal who watches me from the shadows. His pain calls to something deep inside me, and I’m quickly becoming addicted to his dangerous presence in my life. When other bad men threaten me, my possessive stalker proves to be my dark protector. With every stolen kiss, I fall harder for the man who should be my most fearsome enemy. If our families discover our relationship, we’ll both suffer painful consequences. Our love could be our ruin. Note: This story was previously released under the title Rapture & Ruin.

On the awful night he betrayed me, I told Max that we were done. But he won’t leave me exposed and vulnerable to his Russian enemies. Or his own brutal family. I can’t escape my dark protector’s strong arms, and I’m no longer certain if I want to… Note: This story was previously released under the title Torment & Temptation.
