He's her enemy. Her obsession. And the only man who has the power to destroy her.
▫️▫️▫️
My name is Frank Monroe, and I am the most dangerous woman in Chicago. Not because I kill, but because I make it legal. I'm the lawyer the Irish mob calls when the evidence is stacked and the verdict looks like a coffin.
I've never lost a case. I've never left a witness. And I've never forgiven the man who murdered my father in cold blood.
His name is Theodore Pierce, and he's the reason I became this. He thinks he's untouchable. He thinks twenty years of silence means I've forgotten. He's wrong. I've been sharpening this blade since I was nine years old. I'm inside his world now. I'm breathing his air. I'm waiting for the perfect moment to slit his throat and walk away clean.
But there's a problem.
Hector Pierce. The Underboss. Theodore's nephew. The most lethal man in a family of killers. He's possessive. Relentless. And from the moment we meet, he decides I belong to him.
He doesn't know who I really am. He doesn't know his uncle's blood is on my list. He just knows I'm hiding something behind my sharp suits and sharper tongue. He's determined to unravel me. I'm determined to destroy everything he loves.
We can't both win. Someone has to burn.

She prayed for a savior. He answered as a sinner. - Fico - I've spent four years pretending I don't want her. Aisling Jones is off-limits in every way: young, protected, and untouchable. She's the daughter of a legend, the sister of my boss's best friend, and a fantasy I buried so deep I almost convinced myself she didn't exist. Then she ran into the street in front of my car. Broken. Bruised. Begging. And just like that, every vow I made to keep my distance turned to dust. I brought her home. I hid her. I told myself I was protecting her. But the truth is far simpler and far more dangerous: I've never wanted anything the way I want her. And I'll destroy anyone-everyone-who tries to take her from me. Including myself. - Aisling - I escaped hell, and I landed at the feet of a monster. I don't know his name. I don't know where I am.

I should be terrified. I am terrified. But every day I spend in his penthouse, every meal he brings me, every time he sits in the corner and watches me sleep like I'm the most precious thing he's ever seen, I feel something... I'm starting to trust him. I'm starting to need him. And I'm starting to realize that maybe the monster isn't the one I should be running from. Maybe the real danger is the man I'm falling for.

I was steadying my hands when the door suddenly shot open. Vincenzo stepped inside and locked the door behind him with a quiet click that sounded final. "This is the women's bathroom," I snapped. He shrugged, walking closer. "I don't give a shit." I tried to push past him, but he stepped in front of me, blocking the path like a wall that had learned how to breathe. "I don't like your fucking attitude," he said, irritation sharpening his voice. "What are you going to do about it?" I challenged, refusing to blink. He didn't answer. He just moved. One step. Then another. Slow, predatory patience in every shift of his weight, until my back hit the wall behind me. He lowered himself slightly, eyes locking onto mine again, his voice dropping to a whisper. "You want danger, principessa?" he murmured. "Keep talking to me like that... and I'll make sure you choke on the consequences you're begging for." A cold wave washed through me, sharper than fear, deeper than anger. My breath locked again, pulse hammering in my ears as his smirk returned, thin and satisfied. He didn't touch me. He didn't need to. He already had.Complete

When she inadvertently declares war on the Russians, who have long held a vice grip on the underground, her plans go right in the trash giving way to a far more dangerous threat.

So what happens when The Pakhan finally decides to strike his prey? ________________________ His thumb traced the sensitive skin of my wrist, a slow rhythm that felt like he was counting my heartbeats. Then he leaned in, his lips hovering near my ear, not touching, yet the heat was enough to sear. "You're so beautiful. Even when you lie to me." I rolled my eyes, tilting my head back against his shoulder just to show him I wasn't afraid of the proximity, even while my skin screamed at the contact. "And you're still an arrogant bastard who thinks he can keep a throne just by sitting on it." "I don't just sit on it, milaya. I bleed for it. And occasionally, I make sure others bleed a little more." The vibration of his throaty chuckle sent shivers down my spine. "Now, tell me another lie. I want to see if you can make your heart rate match your tongue."CompleteMiami Mami Kill
