Maria

Maria- [noun] feminine name; of Mexican origin. Meaning: bitter

There are so many books about girls who accidentally get involved in the mob and fall in love, and there almost always is that other woman who has always been involved and wants the guy for herself, but never wins. Well, this story is not about that. Because in this book, Maria is the other woman, and does win.

This should be interesting. Very interesting.

Maria was an orphan. Her parents had died when she was ten, and her uncle had raised her. When she was thirteen, he was killed in front of her by the Mexican mob. And she wants revenge.
***********

When I woke up, cops and paramedics were all around me. I saw my uncle's dead body before they covered it. There was a hole in his head and blood on his face. I closed my eyes and cried silently as people picked me up and moved me. I cried for my uncle's fate and for my own, for my parents were long gone.

And I vowed to get revenge. That is why I married Gaspare's right hand man. Because shit was about to go down.
WARNING: This is not a love story. This is revenge
