Jagged Desire

Brittany-Annabelle Vanderbilt had one mission: make her best friend's wedding perfect, filled with joy and love. Then Nico Vitali entered her life-a notorious Mafia king, moving like a shadow, danger etched into his very being. He pulled her into a whirlwind of reckless desire.

One night was supposed to be enough. Just one unforgettable night that left them both irrevocably changed.

But fate had other plans.

Back in Chicago, Brittany tried to find her own way, but she couldn't escape Nico-the man who consumed her, ruined her for anyone else. He'd claimed her so completely that she was wrecked beyond repair, his fire marking her as his alone. No one else could ever measure up.

Unlike the other women who feared him, Brittany stood her ground, staring into the abyss of his darkness without flinching. Her strength and defiance got under his skin, leaving a scar no one else could touch. He couldn't forget her; he didn't want to.

As their connection deepened, Brittany found herself trapped in a dangerous chemistry-too wild to contain, too powerful to ignore. But Nico had sworn off love and family, living in a world of shadows, while she burned brightly in his darkness.

Just when she thought she could handle the heat, life-threatening danger loomed closer, forcing her to choose: walk away before the flames consumed her or dive headfirst into a fire that could destroy them both.
