Shrouded under the secrets of her parents, Rosalia has been kept out of mafia business her entire life until unforeseen circumstances thrust her into Logan’s path. As she grows closer to him, Rosalia sees that there’s much more to Logan than what he shows the world.

Prologue
Rosalia
“Forgive me,
Father, for I have sinned,” I confess in the small booth and shut my eyes,
causing two tears to roll down my cheeks in regret.
Sometimes we
take risks and they don’t play out as we expected, but it’s better to regret
something you did do than to regret something you didn’t do. Living with what
could’ve been is far worse.
“You haven’t
sinned,” a familiar, deep voice comments.
My gaze shoots
up to the lattice screen in time to see him exiting the compartment. Then he
yanks open my door. I’m met with stormy, sapphire eyes – the color of a
cloudless sky – that have haunted my dreams for many nights.
Logan steps
forward, but I push him out of the confessional with both of my palms on his
hard chest. “Where have you been?” I demand, wiping my tears away angrily.
As my vision
clears, I’m astounded by how much he reminds me of the man I fell in love with.
His navy dress shirt is tucked into his slacks, showing off his toned torso.
Nonetheless, this is the man that is my Heaven and my Hell. My current Hell;
but the time we lived in Heaven together isn’t easily forgotten.
He studies me
for a long moment, as if I’m a figment of his imagination. Then he runs his
fingers through his dirty blonde hair and messes up the strands, making him
much too appealing in his anguish.
“Rosa,” he says
in a tormented tone. Reaching for me, he cups the back of my head and threads
his fingers through my long, black hair.
His sandalwood
cologne invades my nostrils and brings back memories that are best left in some
dusty corner of my mind. He lowers his forehead to mine, and I clutch his shirt
as the passion he incites in me still pumps furiously through my veins. His thumb
strokes the dimple on my cheek while we stare at each other.
“I should hate
you,” I mumble, confused.
“No. I’ve come
to explain.”
“Explain what?
You broke my heart and left. Everything’s ruined!”
“I had to leave
to set things straight and so that I didn’t get killed in the process, Rosa,”
he snarls. Yet, in a softer tone, he adds, “But I had to see if you’re okay.”
We’re standing
face-to-face, and as he tilts my head up, I recognize the flame of love in his
dark irises. As usual, we lose control the second his mouth slants over mine.
He commands my emotions with the heat of his touch. Logan’s lips urge mine
apart, guiding me hungrily into his masterful kiss. One large hand covers my
ass while he palms my head. On their own accord, my arms wind around his neck.
Our teeth clash and our tongues dance in a teasing foray – desperately
recapturing a love that others tried to extinguish.
He growls and
lifts me up into his arms effortlessly. My jade, knee-length dress rides up my
hips when I hook my legs around him before he carries me to the elevated altar
of the church, surrounded by devotional statues and lit candles. I’m shoved
onto the two-step carpeted stairs in front of the altar while we grind into
each other. Logan nips a path up my throat as I gaze up at the painted angels
on the dome ceiling. He pulls my lips between his teeth and bites the corner of
my mouth.
“I need to fuck
you,” he groans huskily, pressing his rock-hard erection against me.
We’re both
breathing heavily, forgetting where we are – in the Parish of the Blessed, in
the middle of the day, with people inside the sacristy.
This is what
he’s done to me. Even after everything, I’m unable to deny him. I’ve chosen to
be bad right along with him, and I’m choosing it again.
We’ve always
been reckless. We’ve broken a family apart. And now, we’re about to fuck in the
church where the wedding will take place in less than twenty-four hours.
Meet the Author
I read many
genres but favor intense, seductive, and provocative novels where the male
character loves fiercely, without remorse or boundaries. I also adore forbidden
love tales and have an odd fascination with kidnapping romances. No, I don't
secretly want to be kidnapped, though!
I have a
passionate obsession with the written word and indulge in chocolate pastries
much too often.
My debut novel For
Fallon (Chicago Syndicate, #1) was released on July 26, 2014. I’m honored
that For Fallon won “Best Breakout Novel 2014” in the Novel Grounds
Semi Annual Literary Awards.
