[COMPLETED, 18+) ''Let's get one thing straight.'' His tone was as stern as his grip. ''We don't make idle threats. No need to.'' The harsh stare slid down to her mouth. ''We take what we want.'' In the deteriorating Southeast district of Los Angeles, police struggle to control the ongoing success of a notorious crime family. One cop stands out among the rest, her integrity the defining line between law and corruption. But when passions flare, lines are often crossed . . . Lieutenant Virginia Robins has been waging war on organized crime for nearly ten years, hell-bent on shutting the Chilvati family down, one arrest at a time if necessary. Now the fight turns personal after her partner is killed in a suspicious fire and rumors spread about his possible link to the family. No longer willing to play by the rules, Virginia sets her sights on the man she believes is responsible, a man most people respectfully fear. Consumed by the need to clear her partner's name, solving his case is all she cares about--until the day her daughter is taken. Mark Spinelli is well-known for his quick temper and womanizing ways, although the true fame comes with the ruthless occupation. As underboss of the powerful Chilvati family, he trusts no one outside of the few loyal men sworn to protect him. Still, he can't help but admire the determination of the irate beauty who insists on sticking her investigative nose where it doesn't belong. And on the day she needs a hero, Mark shocks everybody, including himself, when he becomes one. Virginia finds herself captivated by the mysterious, intimidating man who won't talk about his past, and she puts her heart, career, and life at risk when she takes that next step, into his arms, into his dark world.

"He is the most bi-polar and blunt guy with that annoying sarcastic wit of his, I've ever met!" What she thinks of him. "She is the most annoying brat I've ever met in my whole life, who just doesn't know how to mind her own Goddamn business!" What he thinks of her. Two different people hating each other's guts after their very unexpected, unusual first meeting, despite the fact that they're neighbour's. She hates him. He hates her too, or that's what they both think. She's careless, fun spirited, party animal girl. He's serious, blunt, never cares about anyone's feelings and knows exactly what he's doing with his words and actions. She's a girl who checks out guys, but never falls for their charms. He tries his best to avoid any type of interaction with girls - that is until Alexandria comes along. She learned long time ago not to ever trust anyone wholeheartedly; especially a guy and a certain blue eyed one was the cause for it - no one knows what happened between then, except for a certain someone - almost a stranger. Never mind others, he didn't trust himself. She doesn't have a very interesting past. He has a very dark past, which he's not very content to share with. So despite all the differences, what really brings them together? Because, the only thing that is in common between them would probably be the fact that her-not-so-interesting-past, and his oh-so-dark-past-which-he-never-likes-to-share-with-anyone, somehow connects. And that was all that needed for, whatever relationship they had, to go down the hill.

Okay so tripping the bad boy might not have been the smartest thing to do... But, in my defense, he started it. I was just giving him what he deserved and taking what was rightfully mine... Revenge. please give it a chance!!xx. COPYRIGHTED
