when villains rise

I am the hero no one wanted...

I was a murderer.
One of the cruelest and wealthiest men in New York City.
Dante Salvatore, capo of capos.
Yet I had one weakness.
Elena Lombardi.

Cold as ice, sharp as the edge of broken glass, and more beautiful than any woman should have the right to be, she stormed my defenses and razed my life as I knew it to the ground. For her, I would once again play the hero and prove myself worthy of her unconquerable heart.

For her, I would change everything.
I could have left her to the enemies hounding me, but instead, I made the unforgivable decision to take her with me to the old country. Now, there is no other option. In order to keep both of us safe, Elena Lombardi must become my wife.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING 

"This book is full of mafia justice, betrayal, and raw passion. You get to know all the characters personally and Giana Darling pulls you into the story as if you are indeed a part of it. I laughed and cried reading this book. This is the first series I've read by Giana Darling, but it is definitely not the last!"
