|| Book 2 of The Romanos - Dante ||

Family was an enigma to Maeve. From one foster home to another, she drifted around until the age of eighteen when she was finally free from the abuse and suffering that clouded her. The city welcomed her, and she became an apprentice at a small tattoo parlour to pay the bills.

Her existence was a precarious balance, living from one paycheck to the next, steering clear of trouble while working her fingers to the bone. Then, everything shifted when he entered her life.

Death, agony, and anguish had trailed Maeve relentlessly. So, when death itself strolled into her modest tattoo parlour, she battled every impulse not to succumb to the allure of the tall, mysterious, and striking Sicilian.

..

This is the second book in The Romanos series, I would not recommend starting this without first reading "tallulah." as some things discussed will be confusing without context.

After a failed attempt at a relationship, I try to make it on my own. However, I end up with a new neighbor who exudes charm, danger, and sexual energy as if it's a job. To make matters worse, I find myself semi-kidnapped by the same dangerous, foul-mouthed, rude neighbor who turns out to be a part of the Italian Mafia. Now, I'm stuck riding shotgun while being chased by gun-wielding maniacs on our way to someplace "safe." I'm beginning to think this is my new reality. *Trigger Warning* Graphic violence, explicit mature scenes, and non-consensual touching (not from the main love interest).
