Janeisha "Neisha" Bambi has always survived by keeping a low profile. She don't get caught up in the kind of business that comes with bodies, secrets, and street names that echo. But all it takes is one night-one favor for her best friend-to slide her straight into the orbit of Seven "Saint" Carter. Saint is discipline wrapped in menace. A man the streets don't just respect,they fear. The type Neisha promised herself she'd never look at twice. He doesn't chase, beg, or explain. Yet somehow, he does all of this for her. And when that calm, unreadable gaze settles on Neisha, her careful world starts to crack. Now Saint's patience is running out, Neisha's defenses are falling apart and the pull between them is starting to feel less like a choice and more like fate. He's trying to shield her from the life he lives. She's trying to decide if loving him is salvation or self-destruction.

"Fuck. you." I answered testing his patience. I knew I played with fire but I couldn't help it. I was furious. My skin tingled slightly where his breathing met the surface and my stomach felt unusually light. [...] I took my own hand and placed it on top of his bigger one while still staring into his eyes. Then I squeezed, firmly. "If you choke me," I pressed out, "do it harder." His eyes were hooded, breathing heavy, and I felt his dick pressed against me. ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ What happens when a hot tempered, colombian mafia queen is forced to work with her rival- a smug but cool headed italian mob boss, to protect her daughter from an old enemy? Ainara Moreno never wanted anyone's help and certainly not the help of a man- a made man at that. The kind of man she hates the most. But Adrin Bianchi happens to be a little less hated than her oldest enemy and even less hated when he helps her to hunt him down. ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ~ not edited yet
