text-align: start">But she’s everything I want.

My best friends sister.

Valentina Medici.

She’s the epitome of beauty.

She’s everything a man like me can never have.

Yet, she entices me at every turn.

Every damn thing about her reels me in.

After what we did, not touching her feels like torture.

But I’d rather burn in hell than never touch her again.

She fills the darkness.

Even when danger lurks, I’ll protect her.

Just like I promised.

Valentina:

HE’S ALWAYS BEEN THERE.

My brothers best friend.

The man I crushed on for years.

I thought I was over him.

I thought he was a distant memory.

A man I can never have.

Until we crossed a line.

I know being with him risks everything.

It puts us both in danger.

Now our enemies are closer than ever.

The lines become blurry.

The price to pay is heavy.

If I don’t get to be with him…

Then my purgatory on earth has just begun.

Book 4 in the Medici mafia series is a steamy, suspense filled, dark mafia, enemies to lovers romance. While this book can be read as a stand-alone with no cliffhanger and a HEA, it is always recommended to read the books in order.
