Antonio Bruno always knew that secrets and death were a part of the life he chose, so he never intended to fall in love with Emily Reynolds, a woman who embodies innocence. He attempts to shield her from his life as second in command of the Italian Mob, but sometimes the best-laid plans can come apart at the seams.
Emily is no stranger to secrets herself. One thing she’s always been truthful about is how much she loves Tony. When a home invasion steals her from his life, one twisted lie turns into another, pitting these two lovers against one another.
Despite the odds, there’s a chance Tony and Emily can fight to save their relationship. That's if they aren’t killed in the process of finding the traitor in the midst of the Italian Mafia. Can these star-crossed lovers weed through all of the deception? And how far are they willing to go to be together?

Emily
and Antonio met by pure chance. She had been thinking of their meeting
just as much as she had been thinking of their past, mostly because she
was thinking of a future with him. She was thinking of a future with him
because of another huge secret she was holding from him.
She
sighed and closed her eyes. God, she had so much to tell him. She just
prayed the man would understand. Then again, he was a killer as well,
with a code as strong as her own. She lay in their bed and waited for
him. As soon as he entered the room, all thoughts of telling him
anything flew out the door and instead she knew he needed to simply
forget. They had been together for five months, in that time they hadn’t
used protection from the first moment they got together which brought
her to the thoughts she was having about their futures now.
That
was the thing about them sharing professions. She could read his body
language better than he likely knew she could. Emily rose to her feet
and walked to Tony. As she moved toward him, she stripped out of her
negligée and stood before him in all her naked glory. She knew what he
saw. Emily wasn’t shy about her body any longer. She now embraced her
womanly attributes, and that was all thanks to Antonio.
She
had scars, ones that couldn’t be hidden but had been explained away
easily enough with the smallest of lies, ones she had hated to tell him
and couldn’t wait to tell him the truth on. As he had told her before,
her breasts were the size of ripe grapefruits, her skin a pale milk
color, and her hair as red as fire. Or so he liked to tell her.
She
moved to Tony silently and began to strip him of his clothes, loving
the way her pale skin looked against his very dark skin. Sliding Tony’s
shirt from his body, she scraped her nails over his beautifully toned
six pack abs and looked up into his troubled eyes. “Hard day?” she asked
while working on his pants.
She
felt emboldened by this man. It was hard to imagine that before him she
had been a virgin. She had killed a hundred horrible men but never had
taken a lover. Tony had been intense, wonderful, and she had known from
the moment she met him that he was the one for her.
“You
have no idea, sweetheart.” Tony took her hand in his and shook his
head. “You know that is not how I play.” He growled lightly at her and
then leaned down, taking one of her nipples into his mouth and suckling
hard. “I do love being greeted at the door by you naked, however. From
here out I think you should greet me like this when I come home, but
only when I text you and tell you I’m coming home alone. I would hate to
kill a friend who saw my woman naked.”
She
shivered. Had any other man demanded anything of her like that she
would kill them and leave their bodies for the cops to find. Period. She
wasn’t one to be commanded, but with Tony, it turned her on. She seemed
to need it. “Yes, Sir.” She bowed her head in supplication. She knew
she would do anything he asked her to do. She would because she knew he
would always ensure she had pleasure, no matter what. Tony would do
anything for Emily just as she would for him.
“Are you hungry?”
“Only for you, Emmy girl, only for you,” Tony said only a second before he picked her up and carried her to their bedroom.
Emily
held back her laughter when he tossed her on the bed, because she saw
the look of sheer bleak need on his face. She reached back, grabbed the
headboard, and watched him strip. He all but radiated the need to
control, the need to dominate in a way that eclipsed anything they had
ever shared before, and it almost scared her, almost.
Author Bio:
Having been a lover of the written word all her life April has always wanted to expand her horizons and write something that could be shared with the world. Only one thing held April back,
the fact that the letters and numbers mixed and jumbled more often than
not. Diagnosed with Dyslexia when she was eight years old April had
to work her butt off just to be able to keep up with the other kids in
reading and writing, so her love for fictional writing was tossed to the
wayside for the moment.
Time
marched on, as it always does, and she forgot her childhood dream of
becoming an author and instead focused on what she had to—creating a
career for herself.
As
the endless waves of time passed the shores became less rocky and more
sandy, a place where she could find an even foot. That and Microsoft
invented Word. Hallelujah.
This is where April began
her journey into the written world, the world that her imagination had
been ceaselessly creating for her entire adult life.
Now she has been given a chance to let her literary wings unfold and fly, thanks to the amazing publisher Evernight Publishing.
Now it's time to let the dream take flight and watch it soar!
