The Power Of The Dog Don Winslow

[Esta es una traducción al español de ‘The Mafia Don’s Innocent Love’] Artemy Loskutov... Conocido por mi comportamiento gélido, mi naturaleza despiadada y mis habilidades letales, exijo respeto e infundo miedo en todo aquel que se cruza en mi camino. El amor y el afecto no tienen cabida en mi existencia; mi único propósito es vengarme de la detestable mafia Cavalieri, responsable de la prematura muerte de mi madre. Cuando me topo con una joven maltratada y escondida debajo de mi cama, no la perdono por bondad, sino que la veo como una mera posesión, un juguete para manipular. Rebecca Cavalieri... Me había acostumbrado a los hombres que buscaban explotarme, hacerme daño y descartarme. La confianza es un concepto esquivo y mi corazón permanece oculto bajo capas de angustia. Sin embargo, Artemy logró desenterrar y reavivar la llama parpadeante dentro de mí. Despertó mis emociones latentes. Pero si descubre el verdadero alcance del peligro que represento para él, corro el riesgo de perder no sólo su afecto, sino también mi propia vida.
