Ara Diaz, the successful painter and the owner of a art gallery. Ara never knew she was in love with her childhood friend Elijah until he announced his love for her sister Celeste. Massimo Matt Izzo, the future capo of the Sicilian mafia. Also her childhood friend and two years older than her loved her since the moment he laid his eyes on her. He would kill for her, burn for her. Only if she notices him standing there for her. "Massi, what if I hurt you? I've already caused you enough pain," she whispered, her voice trembling. "Then hurt me, use me, or even destroy me for all I care," I replied, my voice steady and unwavering. "As long as you're here with me, nothing else matters. Your presence makes more sense than anything else in this world right now." She grew quiet, resting her head against my chest as my fingers gently combed through her hair. I could feel the rapid beat of her heart, betraying everything her words might try to deny. She could fight me all she wanted, but I knew she could never truly distance herself from me.
Dedicated to the girls who were always second choices,
needs a man who makes them his only choice.

Miriam: I liked the way the plot was set up and then the relationship progressed. Some may not like the discretion but it all led up to a very happy ending with a bit of suspense leading up to it. Definitely a cliffhanger. Waiting for a follow-up.

Farial-Jap-Girl: なんて素敵で、予想もしなかった読書体験なんでしょう! これは間違いなく、ありきたりな恋愛小説ではありません。むしろ、そうじゃないことに感謝したいくらいです。登場人物たちがとてもリアルに感じられるんです。欠点があって、複雑で、情熱的で、人間らしい「白か黒かでは割り切れない」魅力的なグレーの部分に満ちています。怒りや支配、愛、そして怒りの赤い霧に飲み込まれそうになったときに、別の道を選ぶ可能性を描いているところも、とても好きでした。でも正直、一番の驚きは、この本がとにかく楽しく読めたこと! 作者はヒロインの声を見事に描き出していて、私はすっかり別の時代、別の場所へ連れ去られたような気分になりました...
