And our friendship would shatter into a million pieces.

Then again, the worst thing you could do in the mafia is hang on to hope that your life will be normal.

The second worst thing?

Fall in love with your best friend.

Enemy.

Excerpt:

He licked his lips and repeated what he always did when we had to perform, when we had to do our jobs. “I won’t be gentle with you.”

Our foreheads touched, my chest heaved with exertion like it was hard to breathe when he was so near, but really it was the promise that killed me, a promise that he wouldn’t enjoy touching me ever again, that I was more curse than cure, and yet, I knew it was all we would ever get, these fleeting moments where we did our job too well. “Then make it hurt, baby.” My voice cracked. “Make it hurt.”

His lips parted in a groan as he spun me into his arms and crushed his mouth to mine. It was part pain, part pleasure as he pulled my hair then slid a hand up my shirt like nobody was watching when everyone was.

We broke apart, mouths swollen, my lower lip was bleeding.

A reminder for both of us—this was no cease-fire, this wasn’t real, it was all a carefully constructed show.

“Mmmmm…” I smirked. “Looks like Junior’s not playing around tonight, ladies.”

Screams went up as Junior grabbed my ass and squeezed so hard, I knew I would bruise later. He roughly pulled me against his chest and nipped at my neck.

I told my body it didn’t feel good.

I told my heart we were safe.

And I forced myself to believe the lie every single time we touched.

Because to do otherwise—would destroy me.

"Love, if anything, isn't a blessing, it's a curse."

I need a moment to pick up all the broken pieces of my soul 😥

This was beyond a boy meets girl ...

Boy hurts girl...

This was more of a journey(?) of self-discovery.

Not sure that is even the right wording to describe how I felt reading this, the emotions I experienced.

The whole crew -

Each of them was such an intricate piece of the story -

So much happens -

As always I don't want to risk spoilers

The story centers around Junior and Serena and the forbidden feelings that develop between them -

The choices that they have to make - duty before self -

and how those choices shaped their lives -

Good and bad

Each character here is so important to the overall storyline

Each secret

Each betrayal

"My hate is all I have. Please don't take that too. "

Know going in you will laugh something fierce

You will know heartbreak intimately

You will see sacrifices made in the name of blood

Experience first hand the gut-wrenching pain of betrayal

And the dark void that comes from loss

Most of all you will feel ...
