CassieHow to make the handsome, brooding man across the street notice me.Step one: Deliver baked goods to his front porch, even though he never answers his door and always returns the containers when I'm not home.Step two: Slowly lose my mind as a whole year passes without ever running into him, no matter how hard I try.Step three: Have my boudoir photos accidentally delivered to his mailbox instead of mine. Have him open the package. Then have him storm into my home for the most panty-melting scolding of my life.Step four: Still figuring out step four.HansI'm a dangerous man.A man who has spent the last two decades removing so many souls from this earth that it's a miracle my hands aren't permanently stained red.I'm a man who belongs in the shadows.I certainly don't belong in my pretty little neighbor's bedroom when she's not home, touching her things and inhaling her scent.I shouldn't follow her. Shouldn't watch her. Because no number of cookies on my doorstep will change the fact that love isn't an option for me.The only option left for me is violence.

VALWhen I was nine, I went to my first funeral. Along with accepting my father's death, I had to accept new and awful truths I wasn't prepared for.When I was nineteen, I went to my mother's funeral. We weren't close, but with her gone, I became more alone than ever before.Sure, I have a half brother who runs The Alliance. And yeah, he's given me his protection - in the form of a bodyguard and chauffeur. But I don't have anyone that really knows me. No one to really love me.Until I meet him. The man in the airport.And when one chance meeting turns into something hotter, something more serious, I let myself believe that maybe he's the one. Maybe this man is the one who will finally save me from my loneliness. The one to give me the family I've always craved.DOMThe Mafia is in my blood. It's what I do.So when that blood is spilled and one funeral turns into three, drastic measures need to be taken.And when this battle turns into a war, I'm going to need more men. More power.I'm going to need The Alliance.And I'll become a member. By any means necessary.
