"You piss me off, Red," he whispers in my ear, causing shudders and goosebumps to ripple down my spine. "So 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 much." He takes his finger and traces it along the edge of my jaw, compelling me to meet his tempestuous gaze. "Good," I bark back. He edges nearer, his lips barely grazing mine. "I don't like that attitude of yours," he says in a low whisper, "𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂." ღ Ayanna and her 16-year-old sister, Amara Amana are the lone survivors of a brutal massacre that took the lives of their entire family three years ago. Fiercely protective, Ayanna refuses to let anyone touch the last bit of her family. Despite the absence of any evidence at the crime scene and no leads from the authorities, Ayanna has relinquished all hope of finding the perpetrators. However, one day, she discovers a business card concealed in the crevices of the house her family was murdered in, which makes her wonder if it could be the lead that could bring her family justice. Little did she know that it would lead her and her sister into perilous mafia terrain. Saint Moretti, the relentless leader of the Italian mafia, is not one to be taken lightly, and when he has his eyes set on someone, it's hard to get them off. -- Book cover by @Ashes_Knight 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲!!
