The Virgin Shadow

TRIGGER WARNINGS:
This book is dark. When I say dark, I mean black hole dark. Murder, torture, BDSM clubs, more murder and torture, car chases, scary mafia dudes in suits, unhinged double and triple crosses, etc. If you are sensitive to blood and gore, women being tortured, guns, and really bad Italian translations (my Duolingo lessons have only taught me how to say "il negozio italiano" so I've had to use google translate), then do NOT read this book.

The Virgin Shadow

I hunt in the shadows. I have no allegiances, no ties to anyone other than myself. I am the new boogeyman. Mafia men shake and tremble at my name. I was taught by the best, after all. After a tragedy left me orphaned, my grandparents took me in. One thing Nonno taught me was to be a snake in the world of predators. Hide in plain sight, and strike with speed.
Are you next?

Tessa

Aside from my regular job, a friend asked me to fill her position at a law firm in Miami. Her boss is a pig, but what would you expect from a man who works with the Falca Family? What was supposed to be only a short time, turned my life upside down. Because I met the Underboss himself. I tried like hell to stay under his radar, but the prick keeps turning up. I'm just trying to escape with my life.
And pray like hell my heart stays intact when I do.

Alessio

A vixen, that's what she is. A siren. A mythical creature sent to tempt and lure men to their deaths by her beauty and wit. Tessa has driven me mad with her smart mouth, her beauty, and her domineering attitude. I was ordered by my father, Old Tom, to wed another. A princess from another Family, but Tessa has my full attention. How can I stay true to my feelings but still honor the legacy I set to inherit?
Will Tessa be strong enough to withstand my life, and my love?
