Excerpt:
Callies POV:
And there he was, Ace Montgomery, the 22-year old Don of the Italian-Spanish Mafia, literal king of the world. Everyone knows who he is. People either want to be him or want to sleep with him. For me, it was neither. I don't really have sex with cold blooded killers and I sure as hell don't want to be him. Although I will admit he is a fucking greek god but other than that I don't see the appeal.
Of course, he stood there all high and mighty across from me. I couldn't tell if he wanted to torture me or question me first. As I was looking into his grey eyes, he finally made the slightest movement to one of his men. Before I realize it, his guard's fist is connecting with my face.
Everything's a bit blurry but I look up anyway and see Ace leave the room. So much for him questioning me. Either way, I need to get out of here before he realizes he should kill me for what I did.
