The heavy oak doors unlocked with a sharp click. Flora did not turn away from the floor-to-ceiling windows. She kept her eyes on the rain still drizzling over the high stone walls of the Sterling estate.

"I brought you fresh tea, ma'am," a soft voice said.

Flora finally turned. It wasn't Arthur. It was an older woman in a crisp black and white maid's uniform. She had graying hair pulled into a tight bun and kind, tired eyes. She pushed a small serving cart into the room, carefully avoiding the

  • The Mafia Don's Stolen Bride    The Human Shield

    "Elena?" Alistair Finch whispered, his voice cracking. The icy, untouchable mafia boss suddenly looked like a fragile old man. He lowered his assault rifle slightly, his shattered blue eyes locked entirely on Flora."Don't shoot!" Finch roared at his men, panic bleeding into his command. "Drop your aims! Do not point your weapons at her!"The ten elite guards hesitated, completely thrown off by their boss's sudden break in composure. They lowered the barrels of their rifles toward the damp concrete floor.Arthur did not hesitate. He did not lower his gun. His mind processed the tactical shift in a fraction of a second. Finch believed the lie. Finch thought his dea

  • The Mafia Don's Stolen Bride    The Siege

    "Five minutes, Arthur," Finch’s voice echoed from the radio on the floor. "Tick tock."Arthur didn't press the transmit button. He raised his heavy leather boot and brought it down hard, crushing the radio into sharp pieces of plastic and wire. The threat was cut off instantly."Doni," Arthur said. His voice was terrifyingly calm. He didn't look at the shattered radio. He looked down the hallway, calculating the tactical nightmare. "How many of our men are still breathing on the estate?"Doni wiped a streak of blood from his forehead and quickly checked his tactical tablet. "Thirty, maybe thirty-five, Boss. They have a hundred. We are heavily outnumbered, an

  • The Mafia Don's Stolen Bride    The Coup

    "Arthur!" Silas’s voice roared through the heavy steel door. "I have breaching charges! I will blow this door to hell and kill everyone inside! Open it now!"Flora scrambled backward, pressing herself against the far wall of the vault. She pulled Arthur’s tailored suit jacket tightly around her shivering shoulders. Her bare feet slipped slightly on the white tiles, slick with Devon’s blood.Arthur did not flinch at the threat. He stood firmly in the center of the room, his suppressed pistol gripped tightly in his right hand."Stay exactly where you are, Flora," Arthur commanded, his eyes locked on the vault door. "Do not stand up until I tell you

  • The Mafia Don's Stolen Bride    The Dead Cannot Speak

    The suppressed gunshot was nothing more than a sharp, quiet thwip in the soundproof vault.Flora squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for the agonizing slice of the blade across her throat. It never came.Instead, the suffocating pressure of Devon’s grip vanished instantly. The bloody combat knife slipped from his fingers and clattered harmlessly against the white tiles. Devon’s massive body went completely rigid for a fraction of a second before he collapsed backward like a severed puppet.His head hit the floor with a sickening crack.Flora fell to her knees, gasping for air.

  • The Mafia Don's Stolen Bride    Blood in the Vault

    Flora pressed her back against the cold steel of the vault door. There was nowhere left to run.Devon took another step toward her. His left leg dragged across the white tile, leaving a smear of dark blood. His breath rattled in his chest, a wet, terrible sound caused by the bullet Arthur had put below his collarbone."Devon, stop," Flora pleaded, raising her hands. "Look at me. It's Flora. I am not one of them.""You are," Devon rasped, a deranged smile stretching across his bruised face. "You stood in that bunker and looked at me like I was dirt. You let them drag me away.""I was trying to save your life! If I told Silas the truth, he

  • The Mafia Don's Stolen Bride    The Monster I Made

    "Who did you talk to before we left?" Arthur demanded, his voice low and vibrating with absolute menace.He leaned across the leather seat of the speeding SUV, trapping Flora against the door. His dark eyes searched her face for a single flinch, a single tell."I didn't talk to anyone," Flora said, her voice shaking but her gaze steady. "I was locked in your bedroom.""Devon is a civilian," Arthur growled, his hand snapping out to grip her chin. His fingers pressed hard into her jawline. "He cannot break a set of steel cuffs and slit the throats of two armed syndicate guards. Someone helped him. Someone on my payroll.""Then find your mol
