The first time I met my fiancé, I put him in a chokehold.
I wanted nothing to do with the man whose family tore my life to pieces.
Matteo De Luca was vicious claws sheathed in refinement and class.
He saw my untamed independence as a challenge.
I saw his alluring authority as a threat.
The worst part?
I wanted to experience whatever it was Matteo had to offer, and I hated myself for it.
I wanted to launch myself at him.
To kiss him.
To kill him.
To end the debilitating torture of the unknown.
The moment our paths collided, our lives were altered irrevocably.
Taking us from enemies allied by a strategic marriage to something dark and consuming.
Something that tasted like obsession.
*Blood Always is the third book in The Five Families series. Each book in the series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone with a happily ever after, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order. A dark romance with adult themes, Blood Always may not be suitable for sensitive audiences. For a more detailed content warning, you can visit the books tab on my website.
A Note from the Author: Maria is an epic badass, and I love that Matteo is the only person able to get her to drop her guard. A true enemies-to-lovers, this book just might be my favorite. It doesn’t hurt that Matteo is commanding perfection. 😉
For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!
