So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

There are many lines in this world we shouldn't cross: the line between right and wrong, the line between ethics and morals, the line between love and hate... There are many lines that are drawn out for a reason, but they're also drawn out thin, making it impossible to not slip to the other side at least once. ------------- Hannah Hale has never been one to cross the lines. She's never desired to. When her best friend Olivia forces her to sneak into a club one night, she's already crossed the line of right and wrong. Getting caught at the wrong place at just the right time throws Hannah into a whole new world that she never knew about. A world that causes her to cross every line possible. Ace Russo is the heir to the Sicilian Mafia. He's cold, evil, and ruthless. Most importantly, he has no problem crossing the lines. When a drug deal in America goes awry, he's forced to cross the line, and border, by kidnapping a witness and holding her hostage in Sicily. The question is, should lines ever be crossed?

"Let me take a look at the bullet wound." "No tesoro. I can do this myself," Vittore grumbled and I gave him incredulous look. "Don't start that bullshit with me Vittore. Remove your arm and let me help you or..." I trailed off, not able to say more. I was still in shock but I could do this. "Just... just let me help." "No." I glared at Vittore. "Why are you being so damn egotistic?! Let me help you! Do you know what it was like to find you like... and to..." I couldn't even get all the words out. "Let me help you. Please." Begging wasn't something I'd ever do but I just needed him to let me help him. "No-" "Why?!" I suddenly exploded. "Why won't you just let me help you?!" "Because I don't know how to handle it ok?!" Vittore suddenly exploded, his dark eyes glaring at me. "I don't know how to handle these... feelings. Fuck tesoro you drive me crazy! Don't you see that? You make me question everything I've ever known and... I can't..." I watched Vittore as his expression turned determined. "Fuck it." He leaned forward and pressed his lips on mine. * * * WARNING!

MUST READ: This book has been written till chapter 42, then the chapter after is an explanation of what I was planning for the ending as I don't have time to update and feel that you guys deserve to know. I'm so sorry for any grammar mistakes as this book was written a while ago, when I was quite young and I don't know what possessed me to name my characters Shadow and London but read at your own risk hehe. Regardless, I've had many messaged about this book so I thought I'll republish it again but like I said it's not the best! "I do." What would you do when you come home after 2 years and you're told you're going to marry a gang leader? London Pierce definitely didn't take it well. Unfortunately she didn't know much about gangs, so when she slaps the most feared gang leader and her future husband. Lets just say he didn't take it well. Shadow Winters hates it when people disrespect him. He's the type who won't think twice before killing you. He's very cocky and might I add has very bad anger issues. Mix him with London, who doesn't take shit from no one, who has terrible anger problems and is not afraid to put up a fight. I don't think it's a good combination. But what will she do when she finds out the real reason for why she was forced to marry Shadow? What will she do when she realizes she's slowly falling for Shadow?
