Forbidden fruit always tastes the sweetest …

Sloane

I always knew I’d be pulled into my family’s very unsavory dealings one day…but I never knew how much I’d enjoy getting my hands dirty.

With my family in crisis and calling me home, I can’t seem to stay away from the draw of the life. The more I see, the more I want. And I want him more than anything.

James

I’m not a good man. I’ve never wanted to be. There are no medals for virtue in my line of work; instead I need to be cruel, cunning, ruthless, and above all else: loyal.

I never thought my loyalty to the O’Sullivans would be tested, but one look at her after all these years and all I want to do is take her, even though I know I can’t. She’s off-limits, the only princess in a mafia dynasty, but deep in my bones I know she already belongs to me.
