"I should punish you for that stunt you pulled last night." I felt liquid heat rush to my core after hearing what he had said. My body was betraying me and I let out a breathy moan. "Oh, you'd like that, huh?" He asked. "What else would you like? Hmm..." he mused, "I bet you would like it if I tied you to this bed and fucked you raw, wouldn't you?" I moaned a tiny bit and he cursed. ☀︎ Carter Maddox is a professional hitman who stirs up some trouble with some very important, well-respected members of the mafia.

Joëlle Ward is the best hacker this world has ever seen. She worked at the CIA up until recently, when she quit her job in an... unconventional way. She made the wrong people mad and ended up on the wrong lists. She thought she was doing all of this for a common good, maybe she still was. Joëlle runs into Carter in New York where Carter was found in sort of a tough spot and Joëlle offers her help, whether it was wanted or not, she didn't really care.

Daniela O'Brien. Dani is the girl you would say has absolutely no luck going for her at all. Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.
