How do we recover from this?

The mafia has left us with nothing. We were struggling against a tide of blood, just two people against an army. And now we’re supposed to be three. A happy little family.

But he sacrificed himself. For me. For us. For our unborn child. We were given a second chance at love, just to have it all ripped away. The mafia thinks we’ve been defeated. They’re about to learn that nothing can keep us apart.

Luca was never mine.

For five years, I struggled to purge him from my heart. To move on. He disappeared when I needed him most. I told myself I hated him, but he still had my heart. When he crashes back into my life, I can’t fight my desires.

I thought I knew the whole story, but I’ve been so naïve. I’m in danger, and every life he takes is to keep me safe. I have to trust the man who once broke my heart. We thought our love would protect us from the mafia.

But fate has other plans.

Every beat of my heart is for her.

I love her with everything I have. She was supposed to be mine. We had a future together.

Until the Mafia decided she needed to die for another man’s sins.

I’d burn New York City to the ground before I let them touch her, but they offered me a deal.

Be their killer, and Serena will be safe.

In the past five years, there wasn’t a second that I forgot what they stole from me.

They think they’ve twisted my soul and shattered my dreams.

They think they own me.

They think they know the carnage I can cause.

But when they go after her again, they’re opening up an endless sea of rage.

The taste of Serena’s lips still lingers on my mouth, and they’re about to find out that there is nothing I won’t do to protect her.
