Lux has a past that she avoids at all costs. He did this to her. He made her the way she is. Axel, the next in line for the Thanos-Romano Family Don title, has fallen for her since he first set eyes on her. But the business is too dangerous for his precious freckles. They have been friends for years and Axel finally decides to make a move. 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

What happens when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time? She is just at the beginning of her year-long world travels when she falls into the hands of him - an Italian mafia Don driven by the thirst for answers and revenge. When there is something else thrown into the mix - obsession. But is it the healthy kind? -- "I can see it, you know," he continues, his voice as smooth and dangerous as the edge of a blade. "The fear you're trying so hard to hide. The way your hands tremble ever so slightly, the way your breath catches in your throat when I'm close like this." My hands instinctively curl into fists at my sides, nails digging into my palms as I struggle to maintain control. He tilts his head, studying me like a predator sizing up its prey, his proximity suffocating. "You should be scared," he says, the words laced with an unsettling certainty. "Because when I'm done with you, there won't be anything left of that defiance you're so proud of." A shiver runs down my spine. "I've faced worse than you," I manage to grit out, though my voice is barely above a whisper. "And I'm still standing." His lips curve into a sinister smile, a glint of something dark and twisted flashing in his eyes. "We'll see how long that lasts." "Let's go." "No." --
