For those who love plots about mobs, you will be surprised by this book.
Della acts very differently from women who are over-protected by their mobs men.
She goes out to collect and is very good at what she does. However, this makes her a target for the enemies of Frank Costello, her father.
When she suffers an attack inside her own home, her father puts a shadow on her.
To Della’s dismay, her new shadow was someone she knew well, in the biblical way of saying.
They both had a single night of passion.
She always knew who he was, but he didn’t know her name.
Until that meeting at a family brunch.
Cory Rossi was a man who followed the rules, but he managed to do everything his own way. Babysitting the daughter of a man important to mobs was not his preferred option.
But when he discovered that his protégé was the woman who haunted his memories, he would do anything to be always glued to her.
The main suspect in the attack on Della was her ex-boyfriend.
A gang leader, dangerous and not happy that she tried rid of him.
Luis would use the weapons he had to reach Della, but he didn’t count on Cory’s cunning and expertise.
A game of interests, possession, money, passion.
