In a life surrounded by enemies, famiglia is everything. I'd do anything for mine, which makes me the perfect soldier in our underground world. The Empire was built on blood and strength, and the Vendetti name reigns supreme.

However, the hits from the Irish keep coming and our capo is forced to make some tough decisions. One of us is to be the next sacrifice, an honor bestowed to make the famiglia stronger. So why does my chest hurt so badly at the thought of it being me?

I knew I would have to pay the price and do my duty eventually, but one look at her beauty and my heart sinks. She's not the one for me, and I know I'm not ready to lose my freedom. When she's given to my brother, my world tilts for another reason. He's my best friend, my freedom, and through him, we share everything.

EVEN HER.
