Bound by Hatred (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles #3)

by Cora Reilly

“Seeing your father bleed to death at my feet would be worth the risk. You are worth it.”

If she liked to play with fire, fine. I didn’t mind getting burned. I’d walk through flames for her.

Matteo’s eyes were soft. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“That I’m your first,” he said.

His grin got even cockier. “Because you didn’t want to admit that you waited for me.”

It had taken a long time but I realized I could feel free, be free, even when I was bound to Matteo.
