He wants her back, she's not so sure

 A sweet, self-conscious wallflower must decide if she’s willing to give the mafia bad boy who once broke her heart a second chance, or if past traumas run too deep for redemption, in this new adult mafia romance for fans of opposites attract and morally gray heroes.

 Elizabeth

I’m the quiet one, the observer.

No one saw me—until Matteo. He made me feel whole, loved.

When he left, it nearly destroyed me.

Being with him at St. Agnes is a special kind of torture. He intends to be close to me, control me under the guise of protection, but I won’t let my guard down that easily.

Because wanting him is one thing. Trusting him again is another.

If he wants me back, he must prove he’s a different man than the one who broke my heart.

Matteo

My love would have destroyed her, so I walked away.

I couldn’t let my darkness extinguish her light.

It was the right choice, even if it hurt like hell.

I’ve loved her from a distance for years, but now she’s being pulled into the world I tried to shield her from.

She’s mine.

I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her—even burn it all down.
