Something Scary

“You’re my goddamn stepbrother. You know this, so let’s set boundaries,” I whisper as if I’m speaking of something abominable. But it’s something that should be normal. Sane. Logical. Then Riven Rythrone lifts a hand and grabs my chin, forcing my gaze up to his. His eyes don’t belong to someone normal. They belong to someone dark. Abnormal. Insane. Illogical. “You begged to be mine. Remember?” My breath hitches, my pulse riots, and my body stupidly flinches as he snakes a hand around my waist, dragging me closer. Close into his twisted, demented world, where he rules, where reason burns, and where I’m the only thing he refuses to let go of. Twenty-year-old Adelina West has no reason to hate her mother’s marriage to a California millionaire. But when a devil with blue eyes is involved, resentment comes easy. She wants to escape him. He wants to own her. And when Riven Rythrone wants something, not even blood or sin can stop him.

  I spent my whole life trapped in a world of violence, abuse and death--chained to my father’s brutal empire. But when my brother was ripped away from me, I did the one thing I should’ve done a long time ago.   I ran.   I thought I had escaped the nightmare, and finally got to live a normal life. But it all came crashing down the day I was taken by the merciless Mafia king-- Vincenzo Vittore. My father took something precious from him, and now, Vincenzo wants nothing more than to destroy me as vengeance.   Held captive in his mansion, I’m a pawn in his twisted game of revenge. Escape feels impossible, and the worst part? I find myself drawn to the man I should hate with every fiber of my being. He ignites something forbidden in me, something I’m terrified to name.   As secrets from both our pasts surface, I realize there’s no running from this life--Because it’s deeply rooted in my blood.   And the only way out is through death.
