#𝟒 ▪ 𝐆𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬. ❝I hate you,❞ I hissed, pushing him away to create some desperately needed distance between us. He smirked and my breath hitched when his blue eyes twinkled with wild delight. Damn it. ❝Didn't you know, sweetheart?❞ He chuckled, huskily, and my body shuddered at how delicious it sounded. ❝Hate is just the beginning of a love story.❞ * Aria Moretti is a powerful woman. Born into the mafia and raised as an assassin, she is everyone's deepest desire and darkest nightmare. But with the world corrupted by monsters, Aria has plans to change the game... and she intends on leaving a trail of blood in her wake. However, there is one person who could ruin it all, the person who despises her the most: Nero Russo. Charismatic, gorgeous, and the reigning Don of the Italian mafia, he is notoriously known for getting what he wants, when he wants it. And with Aria back in town, Nero has his sights set on her. But lines begin to blur and boundaries are crossed; betrayal almost looks like loyalty and, as the saying goes, hate is just the beginning of a love story. Billionaire's Attraction is a second chance, enemies-to-lovers, mafia romance, and a standalone in the Guns and Roses Series.
