Brutal Protector

Sofia
No names, no promises just one fantastic night to seal my fate.
And then the morning after from hell when he told me what he did for a living and that I needed to run; to hide from those like him who would stop at nothing to take my life. So, I did just that. Even if my traitorous heart still wanted him and my body craved his touch.
Now, eight months later, he’s decided to come back and claim me.
Well, I don’t think so.
I’d learned to be self-sufficient without the protection of my family, and I needed no one, most especially the man who’s forced his way back into my life, into my bed.
And I’ve told the arrogant, infuriating man exactly where he could shove his protection.
But thinking I was safe on St. Agatha's Island was a mistake. I thought I’d been careful. But when you’re the only daughter of a former mafia Don, you shouldn’t take anything at face value.
Luca’s arrival is the catalyst that sends my life spiralling. He’s also the one who’s told me there’s a way to protect his baby. He’s giving us his name and I’m becoming his wife.
Now I need to decide if being hunted by monsters is better than being married to one.
Is it too late to run again?

Luca
She was mine from the moment I knew I couldn’t kill her. Instead of taking her life, I took one perfect night with her. Then I made sure she knew what sort of man I was and I made her run. Run from the life I knew she’d never wanted to be a part of, and from me. Especially from me.
I learned to live with the longing, the need I knew only she could sate. Sofia was better off without me. Unharmed. Untouched.
But no secrets last forever and when I got word she’d been found and her life was in danger, I knew I’d do anything to shield her. To have her in my bed again. To claim her fully.
Nothing would stop me this time.
Now everyone was about to know how far I was willing to go to protect my own.
Even if it meant putting a ring on her finger and starting a war with those who were too stupid to realise I was the only f*cking reason they were still alive.
