Revenge; they say it’s best served cold, right? Well, that’s exactly what I intend to do. Enzo LaRosa was everything to me, my best friend, my second in command, and my enemies took him from me. After his death, I’m more determined than ever to make the enemy pay for what they did. But as the first female leader of The Bianchi family, I have a target on my back. There’s only so much my new second in command, Levi, can do to protect me, and I need allies. Enter Giovanni, the silent bodyguard, and Luca, an aligning family with the same vendetta. Together, we take on La Cosa Nostra. Together, we plan to take down the Mafia family that tried to destroy us. But in the process, I’m left to face more than just avenging my best friend’s death. With lingering stares and a palpable attraction, it forces my situation into even more confusing territory. I don’t know what I want anymore, revenge or romance. With three men at my disposal, it’s hard to choose. But maybe I don’t have to.

What happens when he promises you forever, and instead he disappears, and you end up getting hurt? Bitterness. Hatred. Anger. He's now back in my life, whether I want him to be or not. Best friends with my twin, I can't get him out of my life. And soon, I'm unable to get him out of my head. Our hatred towards one another is built on the plight of our past. We’re enemies and that will never change. No matter how many times he backs me into a corner. No matter how many times my heart skips a beat when I'm near him. Roman will never be more than the boy who stole my heart and obliterated it without even flinching. Our paths were always meant to cross, but will the strings being pulled on our lives pull us together, or tear us apart forever?

Time; they say it heals all wounds. But what happens when time isn’t a luxury you can spare? Haunted by Luciano, I attempt to rebuild myself and forget what happened. But moving forward is easier said than done, especially when I’m no longer facing just one enemy. Revenge is no longer on my agenda. Now, I have to fight to protect those closest to me. I swore to make things right and I never break a promise. But my convictions are tested as I’m thrown into more secrets and deceit each day. I have a war on my hands, a war I might not win. But I’ll be damned if I lose. Lies broke us, but what if the truth is more dangerous than the secrets? **This book is part of a duet and cannot be read without reading book one, The Silence Lies first**
