Built On Ashes: Dark Mafia Romance

LANA The scent of incense and damp earth still clung to my skin when Saint Malaspina pinned me against the cathedral's cold stone. I was supposed to be mourning my father, but in Saint 's obsidian gaze, I saw only my own ruin. I am the collateral for a debt I didn't incur, a living payment for a dead man's sins. Now, I am trapped in his silent villa, at the mercy of a monster who views my fear as his most prized possession. His touch is a brand, a slow-burning fire that erases my will until I am nothing but a vessel for his dark demands. I should hate the way he watches me, the way he strips me bare with a single look, yet I find myself craving the very cage he's built around me. Every silent command and every brutal caress draws me deeper into his shadow. If I don't escape his obsession, I'll forget that I was ever anything but his to break. SAINT She was only meant to be a tool, a way to flush out the rats who betrayed my family. I didn't expect the fire behind her amber eyes or the way her defiance would hook into my gut, demanding I take more than just her freedom. Lana Fioravanti is a debt that can never be paid in full, and I find myself inventing new ways to keep her bound to me. I crave her submission more than I crave the millions her father stole. The world outside is hunting her, but they'll have to burn through me first. I am the enforcer, the stone-faced executioner, yet for her, I am becoming something far more dangerous. I'll keep her locked away, my private obsession, until she realizes there is no world left for her but the one I allow. If they want her, they can find her in the ashes of everyone I've destroyed to keep her mine. This is the third book in The Reign Of Shadows Series.
