Book two of 'The Vengeance Duology' Five years ago, the lads and I made the biggest mistake of our lives-a reckless decision that shattered everything. We destroyed what mattered most, but my deepest regret is how much I hurt her. Every moment of pain I caused haunts me. I wish we'd done things differently, without all the suffering, without leaving everything in ruins. I'd give anything to have her back, but it's too late. She died believing we didn't love her, and that loss left a wound that nothing can ever heal. "Hello, I'm Alessio Bianchi... I'd give anything to have her back, even if it's just in my dreams." Five years ago, my heart was shattered by the very people I once called family. Betrayed and left with nothing, I fled to New York-broken, broke, and stripped of any sense of self-worth. But the thing about hitting rock bottom is, there's nowhere to go but up. Now, I own a multi-billion dollar empire, built from the ground up with my own hands. I'm happy, stronger than ever, and exactly where I want to be. The funniest part? They think I'm dead. "Hey, I'm Valentina Sorrentino... you had your shot-now it's my turn." Is five years too long to rekindle a love that shattered your heart?
