Description
Lux has a past that she avoids at all costs. He did this to her. He made her the way she is. Axel, the next in line for the Thanos-Romano Family Don title, has fallen for her since he first set eyes on her. But the business is too dangerous for his precious freckles. They have been friends for years and Axel finally decides to make a move. But it seems that the universe is against them because Lux's past comes back to haunt and Axel's job makes things difficult in the form of an old enemy. While battling for happiness, a little surprise comes along. This is book two to the Mafia Duet. I recommend reading 'Guns and Roses' first because this book contains some spoilers. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: It wasn't until the movie ended when Lux's first whimper sounded out. Her arms tightened around mine and she pressed her face into my bicep. Her legs started to kick and she whispered out, "No, per favore. (No, please.)" Her nails started to dig into my skin, so I placed a hand to her cheek to calm her. That was the wrong move because she swung out and screamed, "Scappa! Lasciami solo! (Get away! Leave me alone!)" Her eyes were squeezed shut as she thrashed around in the bed. I gently took her wrists in my hand so she didn't hurt herself and I straddled her legs, without putting any weight, so I hovered over her. "Calm down, tesoro. (treasure.)" I placed my free hand back on her cheek and wiped away the flowing tears with my thumb. She was breathing heavy and I kissed her forehead comfortingly. "Non preoccuparti, tesoro. Ti proteggerò, (Don't worry, treasure. I'll protect you,)" I whispered to her as I brushed her hair back with my hand. _________________________________________ Start: October 5, 2018 End: August 23, 2019 Copyrighted 2019
