Tiara Flores:

Love was not kind to her. Life has not been fair to her. Trust? doesn't not come easily to her. All she has now is hope. Hope for a life away from everyone and everything she has ever known. So she ran. She thought she could stay away from trouble until she met him. But she was determined to shield herself from from this new turn of life events. She fought him and she knew she was not going to lose. 

Eugene Kozlovsky: 

He is not fueled by emotions. Love for him is betrayal and weakness. He plays mind games with others. Trust? It is not there in his vocabulary. Revenge was the only thing that mattered to him until the day he met her. He wanted her. For her body. But things changed and her body was not the only thing he wanted. He fought her and he knew he was not going to lose.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

I wouldn't recommend this book to young and sensitive readers as it contains lot of swearing , mature contents , physical abuse and violence.

[18+] MATURE CONTENT ⚠️ "I'm going to need you to use your words and tell me verbally." He reiterated. "Yes." I said weakly. "Yes, of course I understand." "Good girl," He murmured behind me, making sure I kept in line. ───────────────────── S Y N O P S I S Mateo Costello, rising Mob boss, always gets his way. Nobody dares to mess with him unless they want a bullet through their head. He almost never lets his guard down. But when his world collides with daring and exquisite, Malia Sofia, he suddenly finds himself at a loss for words. She's fierce, full of angst and more hot-headed than a tiger. He can't fathom just how tenacious she is and craves her, even though they're nothing alike. All he knows is that he wants to make her his, regardless of the repercussions. Fatal alliances brings you a steamy and passionate, action-romance novel. A story written about the lives of two individuals who at first glance have nothing in common, but in fact go hand in hand, like gin and tonic. But where there's love, there's bound to be chaos and tragedy. Not everything is fair in love and war after all.
