Know Your Worth ✔️
Daniela O'Brien. Dani is the girl you would say has absolutely no luck going for her at all. Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide. Read with caution please. ⚠️ Completed - 26.05.21Complete
His Addiction ✓
This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one. ~~~~~~~~ One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with. She lived away from everyone she once knew. She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena. Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet. She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety. She thought that her relationship was left behind. Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness. Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet. After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't. But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her. His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do? And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back. Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake. ~~~~~~~~~ Trigger warnings: includes sexual content, mature language, mature/sensitive themes, scenes with weapons, violence and murder.Complete
