Alessio…
Cold. Ruthless. Killer.
I am respected and feared by all.
I wasn’t put on this earth to love or be loved. I was put here to wipe out every last member of the damn Abandonato mafia, to pay them back for my mother’s death.
When I find a strange girl hiding, beaten, under my bed, I don’t let her live out of compassion.
She’s a trinket, my plaything.
Ayla…
I thought Alessio was only one more man who wanted to use me, hurt me, and throw me away. I don’t know what it is to trust anymore. I can’t find my heart under the pain.
Alessio found it. He touched it, and brought it alive again.
But if he discovers just how dangerous I am to him…I’ll lose my life.

Just when I was about to put it on, a deep rough voice came from behind me.
“I have to say, you have a lovely body.”
I shrieked loudly and swiveled around toward the voice. I tried to focus on the intruder but he was effortlessly hidden in the darkness.
I didn’t have to see him to know who it was.
I knew that voice. My body knew that voice.
Alessio.
I took a step back in fear, my nightshirt pressed against my body, hiding my nakedness from his eyes. Shaking from head to toe, I swallowed hard and my stomach started to cramp in fear— maybe in anticipation too.
Suddenly, the lights were on. I had to blink a few times to adjust my eyes.
Alessio was sitting in my sofa chair, leaning back comfortably. His left ankle was crossed on top of his right knee and there was a small remote in his hand, which he probably used to turn on the lights.
He wasn’t wearing a suit. But he did have his black slacks on and a black linen shirt, which was unbuttoned at the top, to reveal some of his chest.
His hard, muscular chest. I forced away the thought.
Keeping my eyes on him, I saw his gaze intensely focused on my body. There was no embarrassment. No awkwardness. Alessio was completely calm and confident as his eyes raked over my body.
“Hmm,” he muttered, looking thoughtful as he watched me.
He leaned back against the sofa. His muscles were clear beneath his shirt, making him look big.
I forced myself not to fidget, but it was hard. I couldn’t show fear. Men like him fed on fear. They used it to their advantage.
My fingers tightened around my shirt. My throat felt heavy and dry. When I started to feel lightheaded, I realized I’d been holding my breath for too long.
I let it out in a loud whoosh and then sucked in a deep breath again. But, it was pointless.
His heated gaze traveled all the way down my body. I was speechless and frozen where I stood. When my body started to warm up under his focus, I closed my eyes tightly. But the tingling didn’t stop.
Review
I read a lot of Mafia romance books and I must say this one is one of the best I've read in a long time. Wow I was hooked from the minute I opened it. Alessio and Ayla are everything. I mean I don't know even know if I can explain them. Alessio, is the head of the Russians. He's mean, ruthless and vindictive. He's got motive for it. The Italians killed his momma. He's out for blood. Ayla brings out his softer side. She sees the side of him, not many see. He treats her like a china doll in a way. Always protecting and watching her. From the minute she sneaks into his car, something happens. He knows there's something about her that he needs. They play the cat and mouse game very well and have help from a friend, Maddie. I know she's a secondary character but I love her and how she makes Ayla laugh again. I will warn you that Ayla is naive with so many things but i think that's part of her charm. She brings a new light to the mansion. Sure she's hiding some huge secrets that could tear them apart. Alessio is her peace. He keeps the horrific nightmares away for her. They share so many sweet moments in this book, that you seriously find yourself swooning. I swear I was shocked beyond belief at the ending and can't wait to get my hands on Part 2! I never saw that coming, talk about a twist!! If you love Mafia books then I encourage you to pick this one up, you won't regret it!
