From New York Times bestselling
author Skye Warren comes a sexy new standalone in the Stripped series...
Once upon a time the daughter of a mafia king fell in love with a foot soldier.
This fairy tale didn't have a happy ending.
My sister and I barely managed to escape alive, and we've lived in relative
hiding ever since. I'm safe now, but I can never forget the boy who gave his
life to save mine.
Except there are whispers that he's still alive. And he's fighting a war.
Even knowing the risks, I have to find him. I have to find some way to protect
him, the way he protected me. But he isn't the boy I left behind. He's a
violent man. A criminal. And he's been waiting for me--the final pawn in a dark
game of survival and love.

Something
moves me gently, constant and rhythmic like waves. I’m warm. There’s something
soft curling around my arms, wrapped inside my fists. Padding beneath my cheek
that smells like home.
An unnatural
darkness weighs down on me, keeping me from waking up—a demon’s whisper in my
ear. You’re warm, you’re safe. Sleep.
But something
is wrong.
I remember
falling asleep, so suddenly, remember drinking water that I hadn’t filled. And
I remember the phone call from Amy telling me that Giovanni’s alive.
Impossible.
Awareness
pricks my skin like a cold breeze. Wherever I am, I’m not alone.
I blink
rapidly, forcing my eyes open. They adjust to the darkness quickly, taking in
the tinted windows on either side and the wide leather bench curving beneath
me. I’m in a car. A limo, to be exact. And it’s moving.
On the
opposite side of the long space, a large body reclines. I can see the wide
stance of his legs, the pale white of his shirt. A suit jacket tossed beside
his hip. His face is hidden in the shadows of the vehicle.
I was raised
by the head of the Las Vegas mafia, the capo. I grew up around guns and violence,
so I know when a man is armed. It’s the way he holds himself, the warning
shimmering around him like a dark halo.
This man is
armed and extremely dangerous.
Every muscle
in my body tenses. My mind still swims in thick water, because I must have been
drugged. He drugged me, this faceless man. Why did he take me? It won’t
be anything good, that’s for sure.
Even worse, I
suspect this has something to do with my past, with my family. It’s messed up
that I’d rather be taken by some random psycho. But at least then I’d have a
chance of getting away.
“Who are
you?” I demand, my voice hoarse from whatever drugs they gave me.
There’s a
long pause, the weight of his regard as heavy as a finger trailing down my
neck.
“Have I
really changed that much, bella, that you don’t recognize me?”
