Taboo Flames by Vivian Flame

I can’t stay away from her, no matter how hard I try, and she is falling for the monster I am.

Aurora Vitale is everything I shouldn’t want—fiery, rebellious, and irresistible: the distraction I can’t afford, yet every attempt to push her away only fuels my desire. She is also the little sister of my best friend. And this complicates things a lot.
I’m Giovanni Lombardo. People know me as the cold-hearted enforcer for the Italian mafia. But I am forged by tragedy and hardened by crime, and she is the one person who makes me question everything.
Our dangerous game is more than just a fight for control. Her presence ignites a dark passion in me that I can’t control, even as I battle my own demons and the threats closing in.

Aurora’s falling for the monster I am, but with danger lurking and my world on the edge, I must protect her at all costs.

In this deadly dance, I have to decide if I can save her—and myself—before it’s too late.
