Dante: A Forced Proximity Second Chance Dark Mafia Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798198050464)

She survived a bullet, a surgery and two years of pretending she was fine.
She did not survive him knocking on her door.

He had a gun, a bleeding wound, and every reason to call for help.
He called no one.

Instead, Dante Castellani drove across Denver with a bullet lodged below his ribs and climbed four flights of stairs to the one door he had no right to knock on.

Marina Reeves had told him to stay away. He had. For two years, he'd watched her from a distance, tracking her schedule, memorizing her route, making sure she was safe from the world he'd dragged her into.

He never planned to need her.

But when he was dying, she was the only thing he wanted to see.

Marina has spent two years rebuilding something quiet. Something normal. Something with locked doors and no loose ends. She knows better than to let a wounded mafia enforcer bleed on her floor. She knows better than to call his family. She knows better than to hold towels against his wound and count his breaths through the night.

She does it anyway.

And when Dante Castellani stops bleeding long enough to tell her the truth - all of it - Marina discovers that surviving the Sartori world didn't break her as completely as she thought.

The dangerous part isn't the cartel hunting him.

It's that she doesn't want him to leave.
