Evelyn Harper was the kind of woman who could walk into a room and change its atmosphere. Her honey-brown eyes sparkled with determination, and the paint smudges on her hands spoke of nights spent pouring her soul onto canvases. Beneath her calm exterior, she carried scars from an estranged family history she never spoke of.
Then came Leo Hayes, a tall, magnetic stranger with piercing blue eyes and an air of danger. His charm was undeniable, but his life was one of missions, targets, and bloodshed. Evelyn wasn't just the woman he fell for-she was his next target.
As their connection deepened, Leo's facade began to crack. Killing her was supposed to be another job, but Evelyn's laughter and resilience made her more than a mark-she became his salvation.
When the truth surfaced, Evelyn's world shattered. Yet, instead of crumbling, she found strength. Together, they faced the forces hunting her and uncovered dark truths about her past.
Now, the girl who once sought solace in quiet waves must rise against a storm, armed only with her wits, her will, and the man who was meant to destroy her.

"Oh, do you?" I step closer, challenging him. "Enlighten me." His eyes darken as he leans down, his voice husky. "Reckless. Self-destructive. You'd run into flames just to prove you don't burn."

The strong pull to her. The desire to have something you never thought you would want again. A glance turned into an obsession. And he would stop at nothing to get her. He would do anything he could to keep her. He cared so much for only her Alessio Bucceri was a man who could have anything he ever wanted. Until he wanted that one thing to need him back. Circumstances run in his favor as the woman of his dreams landed into his domain. He would never let her go. A chance glance turned obsession. #1 BWWN! #1 Mafia [4/12/24] *Book excerpt* -- Her cheeks turned red, ever so slightly through her chocolate skin. Her skin looked and felt so smooth. She liked the compliments, the Italian flare. It ropes many women, but the way she looked at me with her big almond eyes had my mind racing and my body in overdrive. She was not immune to my charm, even in her current situation. Her hair was in a slick bun. I was sad not to be able to see the curls adorne her face. And yet she stared at me again, watching me like a dog. Curious gazes. It was fun to tease, and the response I got back over affirmed my teasing. She seemed more relaxed with me. She looked away from me. She stared out the window watching the street ride by. It was silent for a while as I texted my subordinates basic commands. Nothing conspicuous. "Alessio, where are you taking me," her voice piped up. Seems like it took her a while to muster up the courage. I loved her sweet voice when it spoke me me and when she said my name... It was such a turn-on. She wasn't supposed to really ask questions. I don't like lots of questions. I thought about the best way to respond but opted not to say anything at all. She was as stubborn as always, forgetful too. She scanned around me before huffing to herself and looking back out the window. -- Started 06/08/2023- 8/14/2023 Highest Rankings: #7 Arranged [4/26/24] #26 Older #1 Bwwm #13 Man #1 Mafia #1 lovetragedy #6 lovestory #5 BlackwomenComplet
