A killer. The Russian Elite.She’s a mafia princess. A job. A runaway bride.My business is death, however, I find myself manipulated into becoming a glorified babysitter to Adelina Ricci. She’s spoiled, naive, reckless, and yet she see’s parts of me I didn’t know existed. Makes me want things I had never even imagined. I will protect her from everything, but I can’t save her from me— that damage is already done.A lethal knight. A rebellious pawn. A lie that will ruin them both.Loathe me or love me?

    She was an innocent, blinded to our ways and seduced by the charm of the mafia. I was a capo in the Marchetti Family, groomed to take control one day, and my father was the Boss, the Don. Damon Marchetti was a well-known name in the mafiosi. We never would’ve crossed paths if not for a fender bender with the wrong truck on the expressway. After escorting her to the emergency room as a precaution, I discovered she had business ties to a rival family. Simply being seen with me put her in jeopardy, so I kept her close for her own safety. But one thing led to another, and she became more than my charge. I gave her one warning about my life. One chance to decide to stay or leave. She chose to stay. Until all hell broke loose. Then I pushed too hard, and my ever-present alter ego took control. If she thought I gave up easily when the chips were down, she had another warning coming.

    Not that I care about gifts or parties. But a simple “happy birthday” would have been nice! I’m not usually one to complain, I swear. Taking it on the chin and burying it deep down is much more my style. But this year, I want a little more. I want to lose my virginity! I want to live out my deepest, darkest desires. Now I just need the perfect man who knows how to please me…

    She’s controlling, has OCD, and never ever backs down when she thinks she’s right. Which is pretty much all the time. Fearing her last few years in her twenties will be like the last five, she looks for some adventure. That’s when her best friend convinces her to join her on vacation to the Bahamas. On the land of white sand and under a cloudless sky, she never expects is to meet Jake, aka, Island Boy, a local bartender with a sweet tongue for the pretty girls. He’s tattooed, entertaining, and living the dream in paradise as he sets her drinks and her world on fire. As the moon lights the island, Kendall becomes infatuated with Jake and his bartending skills when he challenges her to try every drink on the menu, including him. Can Kendall put aside her cynical side and let the dirty-mouthed bartender show her what island life and love are really like?
