The Mafia’s Twisted Temptation

He took me to pay for my brother’s sin.
I stayed to make him bleed.

ELENA

He walked into my father’s house with blood on his cuffs and asked for me like I was a car he wanted to buy.

My father said yes.

He didn’t even look at me.

Now I wear Dominic Vitale’s ring. I sleep in his glass house on the lake. I sit at his table every morning and count the ways I could kill him.

There’s a loaded gun under my mattress.

He knows it’s there.

He wants me to use it.

NICO

Her brother killed mine.

So I took the one thing the Rossi family loves most.

She thinks I chose her for revenge. She thinks this started the night my brother died.

She’s wrong.

I’ve been watching her for seven months.

I know how she takes her coffee. I know what poem she reads when she cries. I know her pulse jumps every time I say her name.

She can hate me. She can fight me. She can hold a gun to my head.

But she will never leave me.

Nobody touches what’s mine.

Someone in his house is watching her.

Someone wants him dead.

And someone is sending her messages at night, telling her to pull the trigger… or the people she loves will pay.

The monster at the end of the hall isn’t the only monster in this house.

He isn’t even the worst one.

How far will a dangerous man go for the woman he stole?

And what happens when the enemy she married becomes the only one she can trust?
