A detective, a mafia boss...Both love books....Can they fall in Love or will Lies stand between them? Can they find out what is the lies they tell one another apart from what lies are told by others to make it seem like they are lying?
Prologue
Nichole
I love books, I love reading, I love bookstores. I could spend hours upon hours in a book store. A used book store or any type of bookstore. My favorite bookstore is the one with plush couches and a snack and drink counter. If I had to pick the spot where I’d meet ‘The One’ it probably would be at a bookstore. Although I also would say that it would never happen because I’m too into looking at books to notice anyone around me, all I notice is the books they are looking at or reading.
Xavier
I love books, I love bookstores, and obviously I love reading. I could spend my life in a book store. My favorite bookstore has those luxury, sink into them, couches that you never want to leave and it has a drink and food section with the most delicious beverages and food. I go there often as often as I can. A small, very small, portion of me hopes that I'll meet ‘il mio unico vero amore quello che avra il mio tutto’ (my one true love the one that will have my all) but alas if I meet her I must let her go.

Revenge
Book two of 'The Vengeance Duology' Five years ago, the lads and I made the biggest mistake of our lives-a reckless decision that shattered everything. We destroyed what mattered most, but my deepest regret is how much I hurt her. Every moment of pain I caused haunts me. I wish we'd done things differently, without all the suffering, without leaving everything in ruins. I'd give anything to have her back, but it's too late. She died believing we didn't love her, and that loss left a wound that nothing can ever heal. "Hello, I'm Alessio Bianchi... I'd give anything to have her back, even if it's just in my dreams." Five years ago, my heart was shattered by the very people I once called family. Betrayed and left with nothing, I fled to New York-broken, broke, and stripped of any sense of self-worth. But the thing about hitting rock bottom is, there's nowhere to go but up. Now, I own a multi-billion dollar empire, built from the ground up with my own hands. I'm happy, stronger than ever, and exactly where I want to be. The funniest part? They think I'm dead. "Hey, I'm Valentina Sorrentino... you had your shot-now it's my turn." Is five years too long to rekindle a love that shattered your heart?
