DARE

"I see how you feel about me, Blake. You've chosen your side. You preferred those people, your work, maybe you even want that April girl over me, but I swear to you, I'll be the only one you'll ever think about, the only one you'll crave, the only one you'll kill for." He's breathing heavily, probably denying my words in his head vehemently. "You may leave. Try to arrest me, if you can". I cross my arms. He watches me like I had gone insane. I was. At least when it came to him. His shoes are stained with his blood, he backs away from me, leaving stains, he slips out of the door. I crouched down, trailing my hands around his blood, before smearing it over my neck, cheek, and eyes. I wipe the rest on my white shirt, taking a part of him, making it mine like he was going to be. He thought everything was over, but I'm just getting started. I stare at the wide blue sky from the windows, it reminds me of those furious eyes of hid
I'll destroy him, and it will be all his fault.

Don't play with fire unless you want to get burned! Is a warning to pay heed to, especially when the fire is Gabrielle Genovese, a ruthless Mafia don taught to rule and dominate her empire. That's who she grows up to be despite opposition from both rival clans and her own family. And she gets all she wants until Blake Moreno walks into the picture and dares try to crumble her empire.

Blake Moreno is an undercover cop whose sole purpose is to bring criminals to justice. He works undercover, as he tries to tie Gabrielle Genovese to the Mafia world, to take her to prison, where felons like her belong.
What he doesn't expect is to feel sparks at her touch, or for her to be intimidating and borderline controlling. Will their path end in tragedy, or something more explosive.
