"Am I supposed to be afraid of you, sir?" I asked, making eye contact with him through the mirror in front of us. The knowledge that he couldn't actually hurt me just fueled my need to push his buttons. "For your own well being, Kassie, maybe you should be." He scrunched his nose up in a funny way and I noticed a slight sparkle in his eye. He found this just as amusing as I did. 'That was kinda hot.' I thought to myself. 'Bitch stop there's a gun pressed against your head right now.' ~~~~ undaunted : not intimidated or discouraged by difficulty, danger, or disappointment. ~~~~ thank you so much to @a1exaaa on here for helping me with a cover!

With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist... ****** Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name.
