One minute, she's an everyday twenty-eight year old working class office girl the next, she is being blackmailed by Sebastiano Morassi, Sydney's influential crime family boss, to settle her brother's debts.
Sierra knows she should never have gone to him to "save" her brother but she is captivated by him. His monstrous size, his malicious evil glare and more frightening is the scar that marks his left cheek. Never has she never met or seen anyone like him. The more time she spends with this frightening yet captivating man, the harder it becomes to want to escape.

EXCERPT
Sierra
Walking back into the
church, I found Sebastiano on the steps in front of the altar. He looked
agitated and ruthless as I observed him, toying with his rosary beads. His
shirt looked like it had been haphazardly ripped open. He didn’t resemble the
man I knew; a man who could be harmless, soft and so sweet at times. But deep
down, I know he wasn’t.
His eyes cut into mine as
I approached him. And I could see it: the darkness that lay beneath. It only
took one look from Sebastiano to make me tremble. Still, those looks of warning
didn’t stop the traitorous feelings inside me. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to
him. I should have stayed away from him, but I didn’t want to. The pull was too
strong, too urgent.
I reminded myself that
inside this man’s body, his head, lurked a monster I had yet to be introduced
to.
Review
From start to finish Sebastiano and Sierra had me mesmerized with their fiery passion and the need to be what the other needed. Addictive is the word that comes to mind when referring to this book.
Once you start be prepared to ignore all things in your life and become one with this spectacular story.
Sebastiano is the uber alpha male of this story and is the Don of all Dons. He is 45 and is afraid of nothing or no one. After his experience with a loser ex-wife, he has women in his life for his more basic needs and he tosses them out when he uses them. The only permanent woman he has in his life is his darling daughter Lorena. But suddenly an angel is thrown into the mix and Sebastiano's life will never be the same again.
Sierra is our not so meek and mild heroine. She has come to meet the one and only Don Sebastiano after her brother made a bad decision and she feels that maybe she can persuade the Don to allow her to repay her brothers debts doing business related tasks. Those thoughts soon fly out of her head once she lays eyes on him in person and in a split second she knows that she is willing to do whatever Sebastiano wants of her.
The chemistry between these two characters burn up the pages and keep you glued all the way to the end. The love and security Sierra gives to Sebastiano makes you love her more and more as this story progresses, and you soon realize that Sebastiano is better with show than tell when it comes to matters of the heart.
There is a scene or two that I must warn you are graphic in nature, but remember as you read them, this is the mafia we are dealing with and the mafia is not about to just give you a slap on the wrist when you have done wrong. Even though these scenes were graphic I found myself cheering Sebastiano on, as I totally agreed with what he was doing.
There wasn't anything about this book I disliked. Front to back, first word to the last, this book was phenomenal and a perfect start to a kick ass new series.
5 solid gold stars
