Blood Money

Once upon a time, there was a young man who loved a girl, and she loved him right back. Then I threw it all away. Turns out guys born into darkness don’t get a happily ever after.

And now that darkness owns me.

As the underboss to one of the youngest dons in La Cosa Nostra, responsibility is a heavy cross to bear. Regret is not an option. My grandfather taught me that the world is ruthless—and now, so am I.

Until she came back, and all I have are regrets.

Stubborn, she throws my family’s protection back in our faces. Now word is out, and she’s become a target for more than one reason.

Our enemies are conspiring against us, and a war is brewing. I can’t let her get caught in the crossfire. We need to be able to trust each other, yet we both have secrets that threaten to destroy us. Not happening.

I’ll find a way. Because I. Never. Give. Up.
