The branches lashed out at me, punishing me for leaving him in the hands of a monster. I've never felt such guilt in my life. Although I survived, the boy was never found. I prayed for him to be safe. I dreamed he'd be all right and come back to me.

Valetti crime family underboss Vincent Valetti is hot. Like...jaw dropping, lip biting, panty wetting kind of hot. Tall and muscular, with the kind of dominant, cocky attitude that makes a girl's knees go weak. He commands respect and fear from the familia, and he deserves it. He's earned it. As for women...they can have one night and the most amazing f--k of their life, but that's all they get.

I was raised to be ruthless, and as muscle for the Petrov mafia, that's all I am.Then she got caught in the crossfire, and when it was over, she was mine - given as a temporary gift. Once a mafia princess, now just a bargaining chip, she wasn't a part of my plans. She's scared, alone, and has the most perfect, innocent baby blues that beg me to protect her. There's not an ounce of good in me. I don't deserve her, but I want her. I want her sweet submission and tempting curves, at any cost.

I'm not a good man, but I've never claimed to be. I'm the muscle for the Valetti crime family, and I fit the part with my hard, ripped abs, broad shoulders and cocky attitude. I've never wanted for anything, until I met her. A woman I can never have. She's forbidden. Just being seen together would put a target on both our backs. I can't help imagining those lush, sassy lips wrapped around the one part of me that doesn't give a damn she's off-limits.

Ich war unschuldig, bevor ich ihm begegnete. Und ich wusste, dass er mich zerstören würde - trotzdem konnte ich ihm nicht widerstehen. Obwohl ich die Gefahr spürte, sehnte sich mein Herz nach ihm. Seine dunklen Augen und sein charmantes Lächeln zogen mich an, und ich gab der Versuchung nach. Doch dann sah ich etwas, das ich niemals hätte sehen dürfen. Und die Mafia duldet keine Zeugen. Vincent Valetti wird nicht zulassen, dass mir etwas zustößt, aber er wird mich auch nicht gehen lassen.

Ich dachte, ich wäre sicher. Ich erinnere mich noch genau daran, wie ich mein Kleid glattgestrichen und meine Ohrringe angelegt habe, so als wäre mein Aussehen das Wichtigste auf der Welt. Doch an diesem Tag änderte sich alles. Der Tag, an dem meine Familie ermordet und ich entführt wurde. Meine Fesseln werde ich wohl niemals los, aber ich höre nicht auf zu kämpfen. Ich werde Rache nehmen, koste es, was es wolle. Solange ich mich noch an das Mädchen erinnern kann, das ich früher war.

Du gehörst mir! Ich bin nicht immer stolz darauf, wer ich geworden bin. Aber als Mitglied einer Mafia-Familie hatte ich nicht viele Möglichkeiten. Macht, Geld, Frauen - vor allem Frauen - waren für mich immer leichte Beute. Bis Becca in mein Leben trat. Alles an ihr ist die reinste Verführung: Ihre schönen Augen, die direkt in meine Seele blicken, und ihr heißer Körper, der mich um den Verstand bringt. Sie wollte nur eine Schuld begleichen, aber ich wollte mehr. Und ich nehme mir immer, was ich will.
