Мафия и любовь 18+️‍

Айла: Тьма никогда не покидала меня. Он всегда рядом, ожидая подходящего момента для удара. Прошли месяцы с тех пор, как я сбежала от кошмара, который медленно убивал меня. Я бежала, спасая свою жизнь, прямо в объятия человека, который, как я думала, будет хуже, чем кошмар, который я оставила позади. Я и не подозревала, что он станет моим спасителем. Но мой счастливый конец был вырван у меня в мгновение ока. У меня было все ... и я все потеряла. Алессио: Я не верил в ангелов. Но потом я увидел ее. Я прикоснулся к ней. Я целовал ее. Я занимался с ней любовью. Взамен она спасла мою душу. Я больше не был нелюбим, потому что мой Ангел нашел в своем сердце любовь для меня. У меня была она… а потом я потерял ее. Но я не остановлюсь, пока не найду ее. Даже если это означает развязать войну и пролить кровь всех, кто встанет у меня на пути. Я найду своего Ангела.

Алессио Хладнокровный. Безжалостный. Убийца. Меня боится и почитает каждая живая душа. Я рождён не для того, чтобы познать, каково это любить и быть любимым, а для того, чтобы заставить грёбаный клан Абандонато заплатить за смерть моей матери, стерев с лица земли всех его членов до последнего. Когда я нашёл странную избитую девушку, спрятавшуюся под моей кроватью – то не почувствовал ни единого укола жалости по отношению к ней. Она – всего лишь очередная игрушка в моих руках. Айла Я считала, что Алессио – очередной мужчина, в чьих планах использовать меня, сломать, а затем – выбросить. Не уверена, что теперь знаю, каково это доверять кому-то. За всей той болью у меня никак не получалось собрать своё сердце воедино – но Алессио смог. И рядом с ним оно вновь бьётся. Но узнай он, какую опасность я для него представляю... Мне не жить.

Селиан Лоран.
Член высшего общества Манхэттена.
Известный плейбой.
Наследник медиа-империи.
И… мой новый босс.
Я могла бы произвести на него лучшее первое впечатление, если бы не незабываемый секс на одну ночь в прошлом месяце.
После пережитых оргазмов я сбежала от него с приятными воспоминаниями и с его бумажником.
Теперь мужчина смотрит на меня, как на грязь под его итальянскими туфлями, и я вынуждена это принять.
Меня зовут Джудит «Джуд» Хамфри и мне нечего терять.
Простая бруклинская девчонка.
Никому неизвестная чудачка.
Наследница стопки медицинских счетов и потрепанного дивана.
Когда мой новый босс смотрит на меня через комнату, я вижу блеск в его глазах, и это подстегивает наше соперничество.
Он это знает.
И я тоже.
Каждый день в студии новостей — битва.
Каждая ночь в его постели — война.
Но на кону мое сердце, и, боюсь, я готова поднять белый флаг.

Говорят, свой первый поцелуй нужно заслужить. Мой был украден демоном в маске под черным небом Чикаго. Говорят, клятвы, которые мы даем, священны. Мои были нарушены, едва часы пробили полночь. Говорят, мы отдаем сердце только одному человеку. Мое раскололось на двое. Мечты о счастливом будущем рядом с любимым, еще в детстве ставшим лучшим другом, разбились на миллион осколков. Рядом со мной тот, кого я вижу в ночных кошмарах. Говорят, у каждой истории должен быть счастливый конец? Как бы не так. Один поцелуй. Два сердца. Три жизни. Одна судьба.

Tor
Jude and I managed to salvage something beautiful from the war torn rubble of our lives, a blissful happiness that we paid for in blood. We fought our way here, leaving pieces of ourselves along the way. I thought this was the happily ever after in our twisted fairy tale, but I was wrong.
Jude
I may be free by definition. That freedom came at a heavy cost and my family is about to pay the price. At any moment, this façade will come crashing down. Hard. The life I've lived—that kind of world—it stains you, and no matter how hard you try, you can never escape its wrath. Not even in death.
Love. Fear. Loss.
We're walking a wire and all that's beneath us is destruction.

Jude Pearson could just as well kill me as kiss me most days. He was my captor, my living hell, and yet, he became my saviour, my heart. Stupid. He's heartless, conditioned to feel nothing, and so I ran... straight into the clutches of his enemy. Joe Campbell wants Jude to suffer, and I just became a pawn in a very dangerous game.
Joe has broken me in every way, everything that I once was stripped away, and in its place is festering hatred and a rage so cold I feel nothing else. I have one purpose. Revenge.

Jude
Love makes you weak; it makes you irrational. She was collateral, completely innocent when she was unwillingly dragged into my corrupt world. With the damage I'd already caused her, I couldn't let her love me, so I let her go, and now...he has her.
No matter where she is, she will always be mine. This man has taken every-fucking-thing from me, and he has the last thing that matters to me. I will kill him. Slowly. Joe Campbell better run because the devil is fucking coming for him.
Sometimes two wrongs can make a right.
Rage.
Hate.
Revenge.
Our Wrath binds us, but it may also break us.

Моя жизнь была распланирована на пути к совершенству. Я точно знала, чего хочу и к чему стремлюсь, пока не связалась с его миром, который в результате разрушил мой. В мгновенье ока всё оказалось в руинах, доказывая, что не существовало ничего, кроме дешевой иллюзии. Теперь я живу в этом аду, который напоминает мне запутанный клубок, где всё смешалось в одну кучу - друзья и враги. Я думала, что хотела совершенства. Но теперь я даже не знаю, чего хочу… возможно, я даже не хочу быть свободной. Джуд
Со мной точно что-то не так. Я жесток, жаден и не остановлюсь ни перед чем, чтобы победить. Я — печально известный букмекер. На кону в моей игре стоит твоя жизнь и это не пустые слова. Ты теряешь, а я подбираю. Я приму всё, что у тебя есть. Она — залог долга, и если его не выплатят, кто—то умрёт. Это просто бизнес. Так, почему же я не могу убить её?
Хотя всё это не является тем, чем кажется.
Похоть. Кровь. Ложь.
Ведь неправильное не должно ощущаться так хорошо.

Growl
He’d never had something to himself, never even dared to dream about owning something so precious. He was the unwanted bastard son who’d always had to content himself with the leftovers of others. And now they’d given him what only a few weeks ago had been out of his reach, someone he wasn’t even allowed to admire from afar, one of their most prized possessions. Thrown at his feet because he was who he was, because they were certain he would break her. He was her punishment, a fate worse than death, a way to deliver the ultimate punishment to her father who had displeased them so greatly.

Cara
She had always been the good girl. It didn’t protect her.
She didn’t know his real name. People called him Growl to his face, and the Bastard behind his back. Both were names he couldn’t possibly have chosen for himself. His eyes were empty, a mirror to throw back her own fear at her. He was a brutal hand of the Las Vegas Camorra.
And now she was at his mercy.
