Forbidden to Love (Mazzone Mafia, #2)

by Siobhan Davis

“I would take a thousand bullets for you, dolcezza, and you never need to thank me. Protecting you is the one thing I am permitted to do. And I am going to protect you until the day I die, even if I have to cherish you from the shadows.”

“‘It isn’t possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.’”
