With her I was always on the highest high. That's why it was so easy to fall. I never stood a chance without her. The two of us were made for one another. It's as simple as that. The world could try to rip us apart, but it would fail. Until this. She told me once, love isn't enough. I never would have believed it...until now. Neither of us could have prepared for this. I won't stop fighting. Not until the very end.

I always thought this thing between us would only ever be just that. A passing moment, a pleasant dream that helped lull me to sleep at night.

From USA Today best-selling author Willow Winters comes a seductive and emotionally captivating, second chance romance. It’s impossible to get over what we had. He was everything - irresistibly handsome, ruthlessly elite, and seemingly untouchable - while I was nothing. Yet he protected me when I was at my lowest; more than that, he wanted me. He devoured me… and I did the same to him. Until it all fell apart and I ran as far away from Madox as I could. After all, the two of us were never meant to be together.

Fate brought us together, but the sins of my past threaten to rip us apart. In a city ruled by corruption and powerful men, only the ruthless survive. And that's just what I am. Like father, like son. The life I lead is riddled with black tie affairs and dark secrets. simple mistake destroyed a woman I knew nothing about. She was only a name and a beautiful face in a photograph. Her fairytale life was shattered, but I didn't give a damn. Or at least I thought I didn't care, until she stumbled into me.

"Promise me you'll love me after this?" Those were the words I asked my first love on a high school date. "Always, Vi," he told me before crushing his lips against mine. I gave him a part of me I can never get back that night. Even worse, I gave him my heart. That was four years ago. Back when I was young and naive. Back when I thought we’d always be together.

Mason Thatcher gave me chills when I first laid eyes on him. The good kind. The kind that makes your body ache and your heart hammer. What's better is that he looked at me the same way. There was a hunger in his eyes that wouldn't be sated and a confidence in his stride that told me I could never run from him. Back then I didn't want to. It's not fair that his touch eased my pain. That his lips on mine made my worries vanish. That his love gave me a reason to breathe again. With him I felt complete, as if fate had given me a second chance.

His smile is what got me. It was charming but held a hint of the sexy thoughts I was hoping he had in his head like I did with only our first glance. He may be tall, dark, and handsome, but I’m telling you, it was his smile that got me. I’m sure of that detail. Too bad all I did was avert my gaze and let a blush rise up to my cheeks, outing me for having sordid thoughts about my son’s preschool teacher.

Her lips tasted like Cabernet and her touch was like fire. I was blinded by what she did to me. I so easily fell for something I thought I’d never have. I was weak for her and should’ve known better. I should’ve known she could never love a man like me. She brought out a side of me that I wish had stayed dead. I won’t make the same mistake twice. I don’t care how much she begs me. I don’t care that I crave her more than anything else …

I should’ve known she would ruin me the moment I saw her. Women like her are made to destroy men like me. I couldn’t resist her though. Given to me to start a war; I was too eager to accept. But I didn’t know what she’d do to me. That she would change everything. She sees through me in a way no one else ever has. Her innocence and vulnerability make me weak for her and I hate it. I know better than to give in to temptation. A ruthless man doesn’t let a soul close to him. A cold-hearted man doesn’t risk anything for anyone.

At first, his words were harsh and his touch cold. I knew he was a dangerous man and he could destroy me if only he wanted to. That’s not what he wanted though. It’s not what he needed. It’s not what I desired either. It’s so easy to get lost in the touch of a man who’s powerful and unattainable. A man who wants for nothing … except me. Soft touches and stolen glances made my blood heat and my heartbeat in a way I never knew it could. Yes, it’s easy to fall into a haze of lust and desire. But there’s a reason his reputation is one of a heartless man. And I should have known better.

He holds a power over me like no one else ever could. Maybe it’s because my heart begs to beat in time with his. Maybe it’s because my body bows to his and his alone. Maybe it’s because he thought he loved me before he even laid eyes on me. He thought wrong, it wasn’t me he thought he loved, and nothing has made me suffer like that little secret has. He thought I belonged to him, but he was wrong. It was never supposed to be me. Our memories are deceiving, but I know what I want now. What I need more than anything.

Ich dachte, ich wäre sicher. Ich erinnere mich noch genau daran, wie ich mein Kleid glattgestrichen und meine Ohrringe angelegt habe, so als wäre mein Aussehen das Wichtigste auf der Welt. Doch an diesem Tag änderte sich alles. Der Tag, an dem meine Familie ermordet und ich entführt wurde. Meine Fesseln werde ich wohl niemals los, aber ich höre nicht auf zu kämpfen. Ich werde Rache nehmen, koste es, was es wolle. Solange ich mich noch an das Mädchen erinnern kann, das ich früher war.

Ich war unschuldig, bevor ich ihm begegnete. Und ich wusste, dass er mich zerstören würde - trotzdem konnte ich ihm nicht widerstehen. Obwohl ich die Gefahr spürte, sehnte sich mein Herz nach ihm. Seine dunklen Augen und sein charmantes Lächeln zogen mich an, und ich gab der Versuchung nach. Doch dann sah ich etwas, das ich niemals hätte sehen dürfen. Und die Mafia duldet keine Zeugen. Vincent Valetti wird nicht zulassen, dass mir etwas zustößt, aber er wird mich auch nicht gehen lassen.

Du gehörst mir! Ich bin nicht immer stolz darauf, wer ich geworden bin. Aber als Mitglied einer Mafia-Familie hatte ich nicht viele Möglichkeiten. Macht, Geld, Frauen - vor allem Frauen - waren für mich immer leichte Beute. Bis Becca in mein Leben trat. Alles an ihr ist die reinste Verführung: Ihre schönen Augen, die direkt in meine Seele blicken, und ihr heißer Körper, der mich um den Verstand bringt. Sie wollte nur eine Schuld begleichen, aber ich wollte mehr. Und ich nehme mir immer, was ich will.
