I’ve never had a life.

I’m not talking about the freedom money can buy because I have that in spades.
I’m talking about the freedom a girl gets from growing up with four overprotective Del Rossa men…which is zero.

Zero freedom to have a social life. Zero freedom to date.
No guy dares to glance my way. I’m Dark Sovereign property in this town, and everyone knows you don’t touch what belongs to the Del Rossas.

Fifteen years ago, I was a lost little orphan. The Del Rossa family took me in, cared and raised me like I was their own. But not him.

Not Nicoli.

He’s always treated me differently. Like I don’t belong in their world. Like I’m this temporary thing they shouldn’t get attached to.

Maybe I should be thankful that he ignores me most of the time.
But for some stupid reason…I’m not.

Whenever he looks my way, I can’t seem to breathe right.
When he’s close, I’m a mess on two feet.

But Nicoli has made it crystal clear that the girl he grew up with is a hard limit for him. I’m the one woman he’ll never touch…

…not even if I beg him to.

They expected me to bend. To wilt.

I have no family. No life. No dreams.

 

I have nothing left.

 

My father and Nikolai made sure of that when they made me a pawn in their mafia games.

 

A broken woman. A tainted bride. A bargaining chip. That’s all I am to them.

 

But things are changing.

 

I am changing.

 

Learning. Growing. Rising from the ashes anew.

 

At first, I didn’t understand what Nikolai woke in me when he used my body for his revenge plot. But now? Now, I have plans of my own.

 

He may think I’m his Rose to claim, to dominate, control, but I am a rose steeped in war and born from bloodshed.

 

It’s about time I live up to my name.

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:

I’ve weathered the storms.

Now, it’s my time to bloom.

 

I came too close to losing Nikolai, and it almost destroyed me.

 

I’m not sure why, but it’s getting harder to hate him every day. Something is blossoming between us—something more than lust—and it scares me. It’s more powerful, more magnetic than I can explain, and that makes it dangerous.

For both of us.

 

To make matters worse, Nikolai’s driven by more than revenge now. He still wants to kill my father and rule over the coast, but with our enemies closing in, he’s just as determined to keep me safe.

 

He says he’ll do whatever it takes, even if that means making me his forever.

To save my life, I may have to let the man who ruined my life into my heart. But how can a rose bloom when surrounded by so much darkness?

5 Star TDC Book Reviews – “This was a highly entertaining and addicting story that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.”

5 Star caffe.and.books – “Intense, wicked and suspenseful goodness, I couldn’t read it fast enough yet I didn’t want it to end.”

5 Star Goodreads Review – “I LOVE Mafia Romance and this author has a way of spinning a story that makes you feel as if you’re a part of the story as you read it.”

 
I’ve never met him. Never even seen him.
But I’ve heard the whispers. The rumors. The stories about him being as cruel as his father. Maybe even worse.
They say his presence wraps around your throat whenever he enters a room. And that’s exactly what I feel the moment he walks into the diner where I work, and I hear people breathe out his name.
Alexius Del Rossa.
They call him the crown prince of the Dark Sovereign—a society of men who own everything but the weather in this town.
Men say he has ice in his veins, and women talk about the corrupted heart in his chest. He’s the kind of man you pray never to cross paths with. The kind of man a girl like me has no chance of surviving.
But while his eyes trap mine, and his magnetism touches my skin, I’m unable to move when he forces me into a corner and hands me an envelope.
It’s an offer.
One I can’t refuse.
See, I have nothing. No family. No friends. No home.
I can disappear and no one will know.
And that is exactly why he chose me.

But on her bad days, she spends time curled up with her fuzzy blanket, escaping reality with her puppies: Annie, Duke and Duchess.

She enjoys watching movies, shooting guns, and spending time with family and friends. She is an avid gamer when her internet permits, as she enjoys talking and goofing off with her online family.

Jaime Russell never enjoyed reading growing up. Now she goes nowhere without either a paperback or her Kindle because there is always a new book boyfriend that needs to be found and fought over.
