Blood Lust by Kristine Allen

Once upon a time, there was a young man who thought he could save the world. Then I grew up. The end. Turns out the world is much darker than I realized.
And now I’m part of that darkness.
As one of the youngest dons in La Cosa Nostra, I have a lot to prove. Weakness is not an option. My father taught me to be fair, but to be ruthless—something I’m a pro at.
Until a chance meeting at an author event, of all places, and one night of anonymous, guilt-free bliss.
Weeks later, an unexpected betrayal drops her in my lap, and I own every inch of her for six months. She might hate me, but our chemistry is undeniable.
She’s driving me crazy, and the feelings she evokes are dangerous. They make her a liability. Especially when I have an unknown enemy who wants nothing more than to see me devastated—and dead.
Now I have to keep both of us safe or die trying.
I’ll find a way. Because I. Never. Lose.
