~ Synopsis ~
Roan Diamond’s
loyalty to the family may be obligated by blood, but nobody ever said he had to
love them all, right?
As the next in
line to head the Diamond dynasty, he has loose ends to take care of, and one of
those is his brother Royal. Yet his plans for revenge fall apart the minute he
lays eyes on Alina—Royal’s ex-girlfriend, who also happens to be the daughter
of the rival Solokov family.
As a mafia
princess, Alina Solokov knew it wouldn’t be easy when she made the decision ten
years ago to leave the family for a new life at a college in England—but
betrayal is often a dish served cold by those who you love the most. Now, back
in the United States after a job offer that she couldn’t refuse, her new found
strength is pushed to the limits when Royal returns to claim her for his own.
When the man who
captures her heart amongst the chaos is front and center in a lifestyle she
swore never to return to, can she hold her ground and fight being sucked back
into the black hole that is the mafia underworld? Or will Roan’s love be worth
the ultimate sacrifice?

“Dance with me?”
Her eyes glimmer. The most captivating smile spreads
across her face. Taking her beer out of her hand, I set it down on the table
next to me. I gently pull her into my arms. Her body presses firmly to mine.
Her hands twine around my neck. God, she feels so good. It’s as if she was made
to be here in my arms. We sway slowly. Clapton’s deep velvety voice is speaking
the truth. She does look wonderful.
“You surprise me at every turn, Mr. Diamond.” Her breath is so
close to my ear. I’ve never danced with a woman before. I have no clue what the
hell I’m even doing. All I know is she spears my thoughts. I can’t stop
thinking about her. I could easily become addicted to this euphoria as much as
I’m already addicted to her well-being. I’m in way over my damned head. I know
so much about her, yet I feel like there is so much more to learn. I’m turning
into one of those fuck-puppets. She has me dangling on a damn string and
doesn’t even fucking know it. Alina has the upper hand here without knowing
much about me. I chastise myself mentally to move slowly, to learn about her
more intimately. Not in a sexual way. She needs to know she can trust me. I
wonder what’s going through her mind right now. My mind is screaming at me to
find out things about her I don’t know, while my dick is trying to fight its
way out of my pants. Yeah, well forget it, buddy. She will
definitely be worth the wait.
“That’s the plan.” My voice is gruff.
She squeals slightly when I dip her back, her long naked
neck exposed. It’s my tongue this time that wants to reach out and run up her
graceful neck. Lick her lazily, seductively. I rein him in. Keep my mouth shut.
I bring her back up, spinning her slowly then bringing her back into me. I need
to tie my dick up with my tongue, this way they’ll both shut the hell up.
“Are you a romantic?”
Our mouths are not even an inch apart.
“I’ve never had anyone to romance before.”
I’m speaking the truth. My hand instinctively reaches up
and caresses her cheek.
“You are astoundingly beautiful in every way a woman should be.”
The music keeps playing. It switched to a different song. I’m so
caught up in her I couldn’t tell you the name of the song if my life depended
on it. It’s slow and sensual, exactly the same way we are swaying back and
forth. There’s no lead and follow between us. We’re two people attracted to
each other.
We’ve stopped moving. My hand is still stroking her cheek.
Her eyes dart to my lips. My plan was to go slow with her. To not even kiss hertonight before
I took her home. To let her know I respect her in every way. But I can’t
seem to help myself. My face leans in slowly, knowing I only get one first kiss
with this woman. I could devour her with my mouth, clue her in and let her know
specifically what she does to me. Instead, when my lips brush across her soft
lips, a spark ignites in me. I’ve often wondered if the truth stands behind
what happens when two electric currents collide. I feel it. The heat is slowly
building up, then vaporizing in an extremely hot explosion.
Darting my tongue out, I slowly glide it across her bottom
lip. She exhales, opening wider, clinging her mouth to mine. My plan was to
control this kiss, but she takes complete control, which shocks the shit out of
me. I’ll let her for now. She shows no sign at all of her sweet innocence, her
lack of experience. Those tantalizing plump lips feel better than I ever
thought they would. She’s kissing me like she’s never been kissed before.
Bringing my other hand up to hold her in place, I tilt her head to the perfect
angle. Her tongue darts out first, slowly meshing with mine. I lose all control
then, devouring her mouth with mine. Our tongues play war with one another,
each one trying to demolish the other. Fuck me all the way back to Michigan. I
am so totally screwed. Totally fucked.
