FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME…
That devil’s spawn is back in town.
His body shredded with muscles from the boxing ring. Dark as the midnight that brought him back home. Gorgeous on the outside, but beneath the surface lies a monster.
Ashton Warren. The villain next door.
Four years ago, he was my brother’s best friend. Until he wrecked me, then disappeared.
Now, he’s back, pretending like that night never happened, like he didn’t leave me with a broken heart. He wants to pick up where we left off. My brother would end him if he finds these text messages on my phone.
So, I keep my distance. I shut him out. Until he makes me an offer that’s hard to refuse.
Saying yes would pull me under his control, giving him the power to hurt me again.
My brother would surely catch some jail time.
Should I consider the consequences, or do I take the offer that could change my life?

SEBASTIANO

As boss of a powerful mafia family, I take what I want. Empires. Lives. Everything in-between. But some crimes deserve a different sacrifice than death. That sleazy politician Russo learned this the hard way, after I arranged for my son to marry his sweet, innocent daughter.

She’s trapped in my kingdom now, a pretty little burden to be used any way I like.
Except I won’t touch her.

She belongs to my son.
And family always comes first.

ALESSIA

Sebastiano Beneventi is everything I fear. Brutal. Cunning. My soon-to-be father-in-law. He’ll stop at nothing to gain control of the Twelve Famiglie, even forcing his son—who hates my guts—into marrying me. I’m to pay the price for my father’s betrayal.

But I have a forbidden secret. The reason Sebastiano Beneventi is always watching me. A dangerously twisted game I play.

I’ve no interest in his son.

What I want is him, the dirty mafia king.

Moving in with my twin brother and his best friend was supposed to lessen my anxiety.

Something about not wanting to say “no” to every girl in the room and he needs to keep his eyes on the prize… on football.

He’s six-foot-four with a body that could have been carved by Michelangelo himself. Hair to rival a certain biker from my favorite television show. And God, I love the sound of his voice when he makes cocky remarks and the sly grin that promises he can back it up.

It’s time I prove to my brother and family that I can handle my anxiety, pretend to be Logan’s girlfriend, and have a little fun before starting med school.

But his star shines so bright that suddenly, I’m on my knees and have no idea how I got here.
