There are women you'd die for, women you'd kill for, but I'd never fallen for a woman who might kill me.

As the head of club security, my job was to protect the Anastasi family's assets and stay out of their dark deals. I wasn't supposed to fall for Carmela, the youngest Anastasi. But those naughty smiles and f*cking in the backroom left my feelings for the off-limits Mafia princess a tangled mess.

Until she was taken...and destroyed.

It's been six months since, and she's broken in ways I can't describe and might not survive. She might say she doesn't want me, but she's got no qualms about riding my c*ck or using me as her toy when she wants. And I let her because I know the real her. The one who's alive in there somewhere.

I'll follow her into the darkness, and fight her demons even if it means I have to become the merciless blood-coated devil I despise—because this time I'll do whatever it takes to save her.
