"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites.

But it seems that the universe is against them because Lux's past comes back to haunt and Axel's job makes things difficult in the form of an old enemy. While battling for happiness, a little surprise comes along. This is book two to the Mafia Duet. I recommend reading 'Guns and Roses' first because this book contains some spoilers. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: It wasn't until the movie ended when Lux's first whimper sounded out. Her arms tightened around mine and she pressed her face into my bicep. Her legs started to kick and she whispered out, "No, per favore. (No, please.)" Her nails started to dig into my skin, so I placed a hand to her cheek to calm her. That was the wrong move because she swung out and screamed, "Scappa! Lasciami solo! (Get away! Leave me alone!)" Her eyes were squeezed shut as she thrashed around in the bed. I gently took her wrists in my hand so she didn't hurt herself and I straddled her legs, without putting any weight, so I hovered over her. "Calm down, tesoro. (treasure.)" I placed my free hand back on her cheek and wiped away the flowing tears with my thumb. She was breathing heavy and I kissed her forehead comfortingly. "Non preoccuparti, tesoro. Ti proteggerò, (Don't worry, treasure. I'll protect you,)" I whispered to her as I brushed her hair back with my hand. _________________________________________ Start: October 5, 2018 End: August 23, 2019 Copyrighted 2019

Ever since then she has called Brighton Beach her home. She had seen and heard many things through the years but what made Carina a favorite was the fact that she was loyal and trustworthy. She never revealed any of what she'd been privy to. When her parents decided to retire she took over Romanov's, their restaurant, remodeled it and made it an even more popular spot among the locals, especially anyone in organized crime. When Carina was 10 her mother told her that she would be betrothed to someone in Russia. Dimitri Alexandrov. Their families had been connected for many years and because Carina had been in this type of life for years it was not a shock to her. For 17 years she would get letters, phone calls and sometimes packages from Dimitri but she'd never met the man. She was always told that one day he would just show up and her new life would begin...but until then she would have to settle for images that the sound of his voice would invoke, learn to trust him to keep her safe and forgive those closest to her for keeping her in the dark regarding her adoption. She would soon be in danger from things she didn't even know about, from people she didn't even know and a biological father who wanted her dead. *All characters are purely fictional.
