~Synopsis~
A deadly rivalry.
Two families at war.
Nobody is safe, not even the innocent.
Especially the innocent.
Blood will be spilled.
Genevieve "Genna" Galante knows a thing or two
about causing trouble. After all, it's engrained in her DNA. As the only
daughter of Primo Galante, notorious boss of the Galante crime family, her life
is dictated by a certain set of rules… rules Genna was never very good at
following.
Matteo "Matty" Barsanti never wanted anything to
do with the family business, but as the first-born Barsanti son, certain things
are expected of him. It's his duty, according to his father, to help take down
the enemy... even if that enemy means something to him.
A chance encounter on an elevator changes the course of
lives, causing the biggest trouble of Genna's young life. The only good
Barsanti is a dead Barsanti. She's heard it said time and time again. So what
happens when she falls in love with one of them?
The story of star-crossed lovers caught in the middle of the
biggest rivalry New York has ever
seen, determined to make it… if only they can survive their parents' feud.

"A Roman Coke," Genna mused.
"What's that?"
"It's rum and
Coke. We just call it a Roman Coke around here."
"Because you're
Italian?"
"And because
when you get drunk enough, it all just slurs together anyway."
"Ah." Genna
picked hers up, motioning toward him with it. "So what are we drinking to?"
"Today."
"Today?"
He nodded.
"Right now, this moment. Let's drink to it."
Smiling, she clinked
her glass with his. "Today, then."
They threw them back
at the same time. The liquor hit Genna's taste buds and she grimaced, the
vicious burn seeping down her throat and settling deep in her chest. "Ugh,
is there even any Coke in this damn thing?"
Matty laughed,
setting his empty glass down. "Just a splash."
"I couldn't
tell."
"That's because
I prefer it that way," he responded. "Strong and rough, enough to
leave a lingering ache. I like it to hurt just a bit."
Oh good God. Those
words sent a chill down Genna's spine, one she couldn't hide, as Matty waved
for the waitress. Eyes never leaving Genna, he ordered another round of drinks.
"Another?"
she asked, picking up the water to take another sip, this one to soothe the
sting in her chest. "You said one drink."
A sly smile curved
his lips. "I like to keep them coming."
"Is that right?"
"Absolutely."
Matty stood, leaning across the table, his lips near her ear. "Maybe
you'll let me show you later."
