Synopsis
DAVINA
I'd walked into an alley where death awaited me.
Terrified under the brittle moon, I'd been left behind as blood swept into the pristine snow.
I'd closed my eyes and waited for the afterlife, welcoming it.
Death had never come for me, but it ended the life I once knew.
Now, I lived in fear, running from a world ruled by vicious men.
An organized world where power and violence had no limit.
And I was in the middle of it all.
It'd led me to him, Ilias.
But in this world, my nightmare was etched in the face of every man I stumbled upon.
I didn't trust anyone, but my heart trusted him. Even while my mind kept a bullet between us.

ILIAS
I was given an assignment, an order. Failure wasn't an option. Not when it meant her, Davina. But how could I keep her alive? I was no hero. Just a man dressed as one, with a heart as corrupted as the same men I grew up with.
My Review
🌸 𝐀 𝐁𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐔𝐒 🌸
This is the first full length mafia romance book in 'The Moretti Crime Family' series. Spoken in 'dual perspectives' This is Davina and Ilias story.
After seeing this popping up in here a few times, like usual I thought I'd give it a go, and I'm so glad I did. I'd taken a break from 'Mafia Romances' which was my go to genre, mainly because they'd become same old same old, this one I really enjoyed, being that it wasn't the normal run of the mill mafia book, I would've liked a wee bit more action and wee bit more dark and grit thrown into the mix, but all in all I enjoyed this one, especially with a few twisty turns the author threw our way!!
“𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙮, 𝙩𝙞𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨. 𝙇𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙮𝙚, 𝙨𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙚, 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙠𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙪𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙬𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.”
From the get go I was pulled in, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the life that she knew before will be flipped upside down. A snow storm had her leaving work early from the diner where she worked, on her way home she witnessed a New York Syndicate execution down a dark alleyway, he wasn't the only one that paid for his life that night, she was left for dead.
On the run, In hiding and having to leave New York behind her for good, with the help of a police chief she makes her way to Florida and is put in witness protection in a safe house. Ilias Novak is the man who has been placed in charge to protect her.
When it comes to Ilias, like peeling back all the layers of an onion there's more to Ilias that meets the eye. He wears a mask and walks a fine line between good and bad, but those two worlds will start closing in.
Spending time within each others proximity these two had an instant connection, and it doesn't take these two long before lines are crossed from a job to lovers. But when both their lives are in danger they have to go to the one place that will offer them protection and that's his brother who is in the heart of the mafia himself.
