Between The Flames ⚜️Il Paradosso Book Two⚜️ by chimera_invisible

I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefiction
