Outsider of the Mafia by Sophia Raz

He stood firm no matter how much I pushed him away. But it was only a matter of time before he’d finally walk out and leave me behind. Alone.

Orietta
My father didn’t want me, so surely neither could my family. I resolved to ruin them all before they crushed me. I’d sacrifice my sister and banish the woman who brought me up as one of her own. I’d even destroy the man who claimed to love me. Because he couldn’t. Love wasn’t made for someone like me, so I refused to let it in.

Luigi
My job was to protect the Cosa Nostra, but she made it her mission to destroy me. She walked the path of seduction, each man in her father’s army another notch on her belt. She saw me as a challenge. I saw her as my final destination. I’d fight for the don, but for her I’d burn it all to bring her happiness. If only she’d see past the darkness in her heart and find mine which beats only for her.

Would Orietta recognise the love in front of her? Or would she ignite it all and be left alone as she desired?
