SalvatoreMy best friend asked me to marry his sister…so I did everything I could to ensure it.I’ve been after Aria Funar for years, wanting her by my side, craving that woman and her spirit. Over the years I had watched her grow up and turn into the woman she’s become. After a traumatic event happened to Aria, her father branded her as damaged, irrelevant, she was deemed useless to him. Now, … useless to him.
Now, and only now am I worthy of marrying his daughter – because the tragic things that have happened to her ultimately brought her down to my level in her father’s eyes.
She isn’t this broken little thing, and seeing the demons she battles every day destroys me.
I made a promise to Aria, that I wouldn’t allow anything to ever harm her again.
I’m not a good man, in fact I’m the exact opposite.
I’m a monster, but I’m her monster.

Aria’s father is the leader of the mob in Los Angeles and wants to see her daughter as powerful as his firstborn son, he wants her to marry someone worthy.
Aria knew being in the family was dangerous and is kidnapped by Cheng, her father went back on a deal and he lets her know she’s going to be tortured and beaten for fun, then his men will have fun with her untouched body, he will let it happen over and over each day until she’s broken. But what they do is worse than she could have imagined.
Hearing that Aria has been taken, Salvatore knows he will find her, he’s never considered worthy enough for her father to marry her. Finally, when she is returned to the family his best friend Marcel, asks him to protect his sister, which he will gladly do.
Aria realises he doesn’t see her as he did before, she didn’t expect the way her father would betray her and agrees to marry Salvatore, he’s what every Mafia woman dreams of and he can certainly protect her, he’s assassin.
Salvatore can’t believe he finally has Aria he’s going to make Aria feel precious and help her heal through all her pain she was made to endure and make her stronger than she was before and no one will take her from him again.
First I have to say that I loved loved this book. I love Salvatore he is my new book boyfriend because he is the man. He is everything a woman needs in a man and he is devoted to what is his and he takes care of what is his. This story also broke my heart because of what Aria went through when she was kidnapped and tortured. Then this story well one character really pissed me off and that was Aria’s father because he is an arsehole! Your daughter gets kidnapped and tortured and all you can think about is how she is not pure anymore and not worthy of her name. Are you kidding me I wanted to kick his arse so bad. I wanted to jump through mu kindle and beat the living shiz out of him.
Salvatore though he stole my heart. He went to Aria’s father several times to ask him if he could marry Aria and each time the father said no. I thought he is good enough to kill for you but not good enough to marry your daughter. But darkness always comes to light even in the worse of circumstances because when Aria is taken and comes back and is deemed unfit for the family Marcellus Aria’s brother asks Salvatore to marry her. Now Salvatore will have to make up his mind as to whether or not he will marry Aria.
This is an amazing story and can I just say the ending that ending was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy hell this book was intense. The forth in the series and it may be the best yet!!!!! Salvatore is a monster, a hired hitman, a killer!!! He has watched Aria for years and have wanted her for his own. Yet he was never worthy enough for her hand according to her father, his boss!! When Aria gets taken and unimaginable things are done to her, her father then feels she is of no good to him now. Salvatore can now finally have her and he does everything he can to not let her be hurt again. This story is strong and powerful. It’s dark and edgy and you really feel the commitment from Salvatore. Another page turner and five star read!!!
Another FREAKING AWESOME book by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater. I’ve never been disappointed in a book that comes out with these two authors and they seem to have the magic to write amazing story’s together. Its Dark, Twisted and has so MANY Surprises in this book but oh so good!!! Love Aria and Sal, I can’t wait for the next book to come out!!!!!!!!
What a dark twisted read that will have you loving this story. This is amazing book that will have you hooked and blow away by this story.
Deceit by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater is one of the best books I have read. This is the fourth book in The Clans series. This is the story of Aria Funar and Salvatore (Sal) Moretti. Aria is the daughter of the head of the Funar clan. Sal is a hitman for the Arcane, the largest hit for hire company owned by Moretti crime family. Sal has always had a thing for Aria but her father would never consider him as good enough to marry his daughter. After Aria had a traumatic experience, her father no longer deems her worthy of being in the family or useful to him any longer. Sal again wants to marry her and she agrees. From the first time they met there has been a connection between them and it gets stronger every day that they spend together. This book has suspense, action, romance, mafia, Russian clans, Chinese, twists and turns, and emotional highs and lows. This was an awesome read and I definitely recommend it. I can’t wait to read the next book by these two amazing authors.
Are you looking for a dark, twisted, edge of your seat book?? Then look no further because this is it!! Hands down, one of the best books I have read so far by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater and I have read ALL of Elizabeth Knox’s books!!
When you are born and raised in the Clan you know what is expected of you but what happens when your rights are taken from you by force?? You stand proud, with your head up and fight like hell and that’s exactly what Aria does. But what happens when the truth comes to light and smacks you right in the face?? You smack it right back!!
Salvatore is a notorious gun for hire. He gets a call, money exchanges hands, and someone dies. He has been infatuated with his best friend’s sister for years. He has made several attempts to claim Aria for his own, but an assassin, he is beneath a daughter of a Clan leader.
Aria was kidnapped, abused, and assaulted because her father failed to keep up his end of the bargain with a business associate. Now she is considered sullied and broken and no longer worthy of making a marital match to benefit the Clan.
This story is filled with family obligation, torture, betrayal, and blood shed. Will Salvatore be able to protect Aria from the darkness that surrounds them or will she end up a casualty in a battle for power? I look forward to reading more by these two authors.
