Something New by Hannah Rio

TUOMO
I kissed her when she was a girl. She lit up my dark mafia life.
She was the maid’s daughter, too innocent for my world.
We had a pact, and I’ve kept it alive.
Years later, on her 25th birthday, I’m back to collect.
Nerissa thinks she can reject destiny, but she’s wrong.
One date to remind her of what we could be—that’s all I need.
That night, I make sure she’s mine in every way.
Now, she’s carrying my child, bound to me in a way she can’t escape.
She can run, fight, but she’ll never escape me.

NERISSA
I was a kid when I kissed the mafia devil, and now he’s back to claim me.
Tuomo Vece was my first kiss —and now my nightmare.
It’s my 25th birthday.
His presence fills the room before I even turn around.
He wants me, refuses to take no for an answer.
One date, he says. I fell for his cruel and calculated trick.
His web of charm and seduction.
His forbidden seed inside me is pulling me back into his dark world.
Is this child, am I a pawn in this game of revenge and vengeance?
God help us all if the truth claws its way out leaving a trail of destruction.
