Before I dive in thank you Symone for reaching out, I always love to support my indie author community when I can, so it was a pleasure to dive into your read!

As a huge lover of Mafia romances, it was fun to dive into something new and a little different.

Solari and Domenico Martelli made a promise to each other years ago, vowing that when he returns years later they will be together and wed. However when that day arrives and he isn’t anywhere to be seen…only for 2 years further to pass by Solari loses hope of ever seeing him again.

Yet when tradegy strikes and Solari is told she can only trust Domenico it leaves her falling back into his arms if only for security.

They both battle fighting their feels to uphold a promise, however it’s hard to do so when they have been waiting years for this reunion and secrets kept them apart.

There is the Mafia touch of action and drama, along with a beautiful love story that brings together the aching pain of wanting someone yet not being able to have them if only for those reasons in the back of your mind.

Despite all they defeat the odds and secrets and truths unveil in the only way Mafia romances can – much dramatic effect – however it leads to a happy ending that is well deserved.

I enjoyed the story and if you’re looking for something you can binge that has some drama, romance and a tug of war that leads to many rolls in the sheets, then this is for you!

Blurb:

SOLARI BRIGHAM
I met him as a little girl, then again at sixteen.
He made me a promise, and my heart believed.
But he’d lied.
Just when I’m about to move on, the unthinkable happens, and I’m left terrified with nowhere to turn.
Desperate for safety, the only one able to protect me is the one person who didn’t keep his promise years ago.

DOMENICO MARTELLI
The bringer of death.
That is what they call me.
So it is understandable why Solari shouldn’t be with a man like me.
Though difficult, I was willing to stay away and continue watching her from afar.
Then tragedy hits, and the first one she calls is me.

In my world, power and brutality intertwine.
The kind of violence Solari never imagined.
When she learns what happened two years ago, will she accept me despite my dark side?
