"The Mob Boss and His Enemy's Daughter" Natalia Gambino was raised to obey. As the daughter of Vito Gambino-the most feared mob boss in the world-every part of her life was his to control. Her clothes. Her hair. Even the man she'd marry. That man was Luca Castellano, her father's most trusted ally and underboss. Every time she looked at him, disgust twisted in her stomach. It was never supposed to be him. He'd only been obsessed with her long before she was old enough to understand it. But obedience had never been a choice-only a rule. Then, at her own wedding reception, a man with blood on his cufflinks and a smile that didn't belong in a church... storms in with guns blazing and a threat that shatters everything she thought she knew. Is this finally her chance to escape the man who's owned her life? ...Or is she just trading one master for another? ---- "Look at you..." he murmured, his breath warm against my neck. My body betrayed me, trembling as his hand traced lower, slow and deliberate. "...never forget who you belong to, Natalia." I swallowed, my voice barely a whisper. "I won't." His grip tightened, his voice dropping into something darker. I hated the way my body reacted to him-like it didn't remember fear. He leaned back, unfazed, a slow smirk pulling at his mouth. "Then prove it." ---- - book 2 of "The Prodigy" series (can be read as a standalone)

I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased. He gave me a sheepish look of surprise.
