Matteo
She’s my best friend’s little sister. Sweet, innocent, Little Russo… everything I swore I’d stay away from.
But when Daniella unknowingly marries a man who’s out to destroy her family, she lands herself in a danger she can’t escape and I’m the only one who can protect her.
I’m rough, ruthless, and nothing close to the man she deserves. I can’t give her the white picket fence she craves.
But she doesn’t see the blood on my hands or the failure of a man who isn’t husband or father material.
All she sees is the man who’ll burn the world down to save her.
The more time I spend with her, the more the light threatens to break through my darkness, making me want the things I’ve spent my life rejecting.
I should reject her, too. Protect her from me as much as from him.
But that’s the thing about our arrangement…
Her husband is bad.
But me? I’m worse.
