Because the deeper I get pulled into his world… the more I start to wonder, if he had something to do with my husband’s death? I should stay away. I should run. Instead, I make a choice. I want revenge. And he’s the only one who can help me get it. But Gabriel D’Amato doesn’t do favors. And the way he looks at me? That’s not protection. That’s possession.
