Ivory has never relied on anybody-anything. Not even her own mother. The same mother who forced her into a life she never deserved. But there's no backing out now. The assassin's life is all she's ever known, ever since childhood. Her mother made sure of that. Trouble finds Ivory like a vine-wrapping, twisting, never letting go. Spreading like a virus. Trouble finds her most when she discovers she's the bastard child of the Italian Mafia Don. When she meets him and his family-his wife and five sons-she realizes her life is no longer hers to control. And she hates that. It only worsens when her knight in shining armor reveals himself to be the devil in sheep's clothing. Satan himself, if you will. A new country. A new household. A new family. New friends gained, old ones lost. A thirst for revenge. How is she supposed to cope? Especially when stormy eyes follow her everywhere. But that's not quite what scares her. What terrifies her is the way he watches-not with the same disdain he gives everyone else, but with interest. With wonder. For her and her alone. You know what they all say; curiosity kills the cat. But satisfaction brought it back.

-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy.

She doesn't speak. But she sees everything. When a terrified little girl runs straight into her arms in the middle of a crowded park, she knows something is wrong. The child doesn't cry. Doesn't scream. Doesn't make a sound. Just wide violet eyes... and silence. Everyone else hesitates. She doesn't. The girl belongs to one of the most dangerous men in Chicago. A Bratva king. A man who doesn't forgive mistakes-and doesn't trust strangers. Especially not her. When he's told she tried to take his daughter, he expects fear. Excuses. Begging. What he gets instead... is calm. Cold. Controlled. Unshaken. And when the truth comes out, he makes a decision that changes everything. In his world, protection comes with a price. And now... she's his wife. But the quiet woman he brought into his home isn't what she seems. She watches too closely. Moves too carefully. Understands too much. And the deeper he looks... the more one truth becomes impossible to ignore: He didn't save her. He let her in.
