“There’s a book section over there. Let’s find you a nice steamy one.” She heads off towards an area of the store and I slowly follow her to a wall of books with scantly clad people on them. “Why are most of them cowboys or cops?” “Handcuffs and ropes,” she says easily and quickly. She pulls out a cowboy one and hands it to me before scanning the rest. “What’s it about?” I ask as I turn the book over.

He picked up his book again to continue reading it. Yeah, he is definitely hateful, like how can someone be this cold? With a heavy sigh, Katherine turned away, her disappointment palpable. It seemed that their differing perspectives on the situation had created a rift between them, leaving her feeling even more isolated in a city that had lost its allure.

A half-smoked cigarette dangled between my fingers, the glow between my curled, stiff fingers the only warmth in the dimly lit sala. I took another long drag, letting the smoke sear into my lungs before slowly blowing it out. My head was a battle zone, images of deception flashing like gunfire: Victor and his sneer, poisoned wine, and the audacity of men who believed they were more clever than me—better or more worthy of what I’d earned in blood and steel. The business world was a more deadly version of an unloaded pistol with the safety off. Deals sealed with a handshake could explode like grenades.

🌹 A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR 🌹 This is Book Two in the ‘Entangled’ series, and it continues the story after the events of Book One titled—Bound to the Mafia Lord. While you can read this book on its own, I strongly recommend reading Book One first for a clearer understanding of the characters, relationships, history, and events that have already taken place. There are several names and references throughout this book that were introduced in the previous story. But if you’ve decided to start here… welcome anyway. 🤭❤️

It was bound to happen. Of course. I had warned her about this in my previous life. Not only did she ignore me–she killed me for it. This time, I would not say a word. I would let her suffer the consequences herself. When I returned home after handling matters outside, I saw Vivian sitting calmly in the living room, sipping tea. The hysteria from the past few days was gone. She looked composed. Almost pleased. I headed for the stairs. "Penny. Sit." I kept walking.

“The fire investigator said that I left my book on the stove and it caught fire. It happens.” “Did you leave a book?” he asked. “I’d never seen the book before,” she explained. “It was called, ‘You’re Next.’ They also found the remains of the rest of the series in the kitchen. Their titles were ‘Dead Man Walking’ and ‘Dead and Deader.’ They weren’t my books.” “He put them there?” he asked. “That’s a heck of a warning.” “Yeah,” she agreed. “So I ran. I know that he’s out there. I think I’m safe for now. I’ve crossed state lines, and I don’t think he has a good way to track me, but...”

“Then, we run like hell.” The plan was a simple one, but there was far too much that could go wrong. A librarian could reach out and snag her, just as it did me. She could trip, fall, hurt herself—anything that would slow her down. What they would do if they got to us…I wasn’t sure I wanted to know. Helena and I split up seconds later, just as the musty smell began rolling in. I darted to the left, traveling down the stacks silently. I had dropped the book that contained my life during the scuffle, but I figured it was better suited here. What would happen if someone else got their hands on it?

It would be the end if I did. Harriet was screaming, desperately banging the door with her hands. "Help!" she yelled while at the same time shouting for me. "Caterina! No!" The poor girl. I would usually think about why she was such a mess. Perhaps her training was not enough. But looking at her now, I can tell that it was enough. She was just scared out of her mind. And knowing that she had basically left the Mafia, she was unprepared now. One thing stayed in my mind though, with Harriet’s situation; one cannot leave the mob.

"Hemmy, you're a doctor. You have got to have the toughest mind out there. Promise me you will stay cool. If you freak out, what is going to happen to Smiley?" Right, what about Smiley? Helma shut her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were filled with a fierce determination. Her voice came out rough. "It was them!" Neil agreed with a nod. "I think so too. However, the fire today... it was too much. Mrs. Laydon—she's gone too..." "They are after the book," Helma's grip tightened.
