A mole is revealing sensitive information, causing chaos amongst mafia heads, threatening to destroy both our families.My father calls it business—like trading me to the devil is nothing more than balancing the books.I tell myself I can do this—I'm a Bellanti. I've survived worse than becoming a mobster's bride.But the real betrayal? My body doesn't fear him. It craves him. His voice, deep and commanding, vibrates through me until my body hums with unwanted desire.One look, and I shatter. One touch, and I tremble.And when our enemies strike, I realize the most terrifying truth of The man I should hate may be the only thing standing between me and death.I vowed to survive him. But some monsters don't just own your soul. They make you beg for the burn. less
