The Mafia Lord and His Spy Lover ( SAMPLE ) ✓

[CASTELLO DI CARTE MAFIA CHRONICLES, #1]

𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀
When my mother's deteriorating health pushes me into rethinking my career choices, my boss does what he does best; he shoves me into the world I never planned on venturing into. The job is simple: get in, get the information, and get the hell out.
Except it isn't that easy.
Especially when my target is the most nefarious man in New York.
As I get close to the devil, I see sides of him I never knew could exist. He burns me with his scorching touch, demanding kisses and hungry gazes. He's determined to have me at all costs, and he won't stop until he's explored every inch of me.
One might think he would stop at that, but-devil help me-he needs more. More than I'm ready to give.
There's a reason I never wanted to enter the Mafia world.
And boom! My past comes crashing on my doorstep without a prior warning.
Soon, every lie unravels, pushing me to the edge of the plank I'd survived jumping from for years.
But nothing's prepared me for the worst.
That being the connection between the man I desire and my dead sister.

𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐒
We all know what they say about sweet things: when consumed excessively, they turn from savoury to bitter in seconds. That was what she was. A poor excuse for a sweet I wanted to devour.
But now I want to make her suffer with the same intensity.
She deserves it. And so does her scheming sister.
Only, I didn't know the latter was dead, and I may be the one at fault.
But does it stop me from craving the sweet? Hell, no. If anything, my desire to have her writhing under me with pleasure and to consume her wholly has only magnified. She became mine the moment I touched her, the moment she moaned my name and begged for more. There's no point of return for someone I want to keep in my life.
She is the only one who can give me the one thing I never had in life: happiness.
But being the master at ruining everything I care for, how will I ever be the man she wants me to be?
