Ashes of Him: Dark Mafia Romance

Lyra I stole a watch to save my brother. Instead, I ended up in the hands of the one man this city fears more than death. Caius Vettore — the Capo who decides who breathes and who bleeds. He calls me a wild thing. He touches me like he owns my pulse. And when he looks at me with those glacial eyes, my body betrays me in ways my mind can’t forgive. I hate him. I fear him. But worst of all… a part of me responds to him. I have one goal: survive long enough to save my brother. He has one goal: break me until my freedom tastes like him. And in this house of monsters, I’m terrified he might succeed. Caius She wasn’t meant to matter. A street rat with fire in her eyes and blood on her hands. She stole from my Family — from me — and I should’ve ended her with a bullet to the skull. But when she looked up at me, trembling yet unbroken, something snapped loose inside my chest. I don’t want her apology. I don’t want her fear. I want her obedience. Her heat. Her surrender — the kind she hates herself for giving. She thinks this is about a watch. She thinks she’s caged. But the truth is far worse. I’ve tasted her defiance, and now I crave it. And I will ruin her before I ever let her go. View Less
