Rook
Usually, the mafia prince takes the captive. Not this time.
I hold the chains.
ISADORA
I was hired to execute the youngest Rivas heir. Instead, I chained him to a chair.
Twenty years ago, his father punished me.
Giovanni Rivas erased my identity, relocated me, and rebuilt me into
a lethal, unfeeling weapon.
I have spent two decades surviving among mafia men who used the weapon – me
and never cared if the woman beneath it existed.
My instructions were simple:
End Giovanni’s bloodline. Revenge was supposed to be clean.
But Dante Rivas isn’t a terrified boy.
He is a 19-year-old lethal instrument who wears the same brutal training I do.
He doesn’t flinch. He watches me.
He reads the 20 years of trauma hiding beneath my armor.
His green eyes burn through my defenses, and he hardens against my touch.
When he pulls me in, he doesn’t feel like a captive.
He feels like a master.
His mouth devours me, his hands finding places I’ve kept numb for 2 decades.
I shatter against him, making sounds I haven’t made in years.
I was the weapon. Dante made me the woman again.
But the man stripping me bare is the son of the king who destroyed my life.
If I let him touch me again, I betray myself.
Every king falls. Every bishop bleeds.
Every knight wages war.
Now the Rook moves—and the board will never be the same.
(ROOK is a dark, gritty, high-heat mafia romance featuring forced proximity, an older female captor, a lethal younger male captive, and a devastating enemies-to-lovers forbidden romance. It is the next installment in the Shattered Pieces series.)
