My Thoughts
I loved the romance between Emily and Marco that began in Hook and couldn't wait to read more of them. This part of their story begins with heartache and loss which changes everything between them. It turns Emily into the person she least wanted to be and tore her away from Marco on a path of revenge. She goes to a place that took everything from her and Marco will have to fight for the woman he loves and the life they want together. I just adored Marco. A man who will give everything for her. I so enjoyed their story.

About the Book
One word.
Two letters.
But those two letters changed everything.
It was impossible to predict the impact I would have on the
life of the only woman I'd ever truly loved. No way to know that I would result
in her ruin.
I’d suffer for eternity with the knowledge that it was me
who brought devastation to her doorstep.
Though I deserved the anguish I felt, to see her suffer was
unacceptable.
I would fix this.
Somehow I would prove to her that I wasn't the monster she
thought I was.
Even if it meant becoming a monster in order to make that
happen.
Are you ready for more Marco?

Excerpt
Then the door swung open and there he was. For a brief
moment I was taken by his handsome features—his olive skin and pronounced jaw,
the sparkle in his dark eyes, his perfect, straight nose. More than anything,
it was the pull that remained between us that surprised me. Like I was a planet
still circling his sun.
There was a moment when we locked eyes that the gravity of
all that had happened wasn’t weighing heavy between us, and it almost caused me
to stumble back.
Then, after the moment of intimacy had passed, I was sure I
saw dread slip over his expression. I wasn’t going to stay put and find out
though.
I wouldn’t be standing on his doorstep begging for whatever
scraps of information he deemed worthy of casting my way. No, I was here to
demand what he, at the very least, owed me, and I wouldn’t leave until he gave
it to me.
“We need to talk.” I pushed past him, careful not to make
contact, and bolted down the hallway toward the living room.
“Emily, this isn’t a good time.” Marco’s footsteps followed
quickly behind me.
“I don’t care. Put aside whatever it is you’re doing. I want
answers.”
I came to an abrupt stop when I stepped into the
living/dining area and found Alexa sprawled across the couch like she was a
feast ready to be enjoyed.
Her blouse was half unbuttoned, her legs draped over the
cushions, causing her skirt to ride up a bit on her thighs, and her lips
slightly swollen. Her lipstick had been rubbed off her mouth and onto her skin.
She wore a saccharine smile that I wanted to rip off her face.
I crossed my arms over my chest and turned back to Marco.
“Oh, I see. Well, pardon me for interrupting.” There was no disguising the
venom in my voice.
His tortured gazed darted from me to her and back a few
times before he schooled his features and responded. “Can we have this
conversation some other time?” he asked, his voice neutral.
“Marco, who’s this?” Alexa purred from behind me.
I spun to address her with a fake smile on my face. “I’m
Emily. We met at the art show a few months ago when I was there with Marco.
Back when we were still fucking. You can call me Brandi, though.” I turned to
lock gazes with him before finishing. “Everyone who knows me intimately does.”
His fists clenched at his sides and his jaw tightened. Good.
Some small part of me was pleased that I was still able to elicit a reaction
like that from him.
I swung my attention back to the blonde on the couch. “I’m
sorry to swing by unannounced like this and interrupt what was obviously going
to be a good time for you both. I just need a few minutes with Marco, and then
I’ll be out of your hair.”
Alexa’s eyes narrowed on me for a moment, and though she was
playing nice with me—probably for Marco’s benefit—it was clear she wasn’t
pleased with the interruption.
“Perhaps I should go,” she said.
“No!” Marco said, whip fast. “Emily should be the one to
leave.”
Not going to lie.
That stung.
A lot.
No matter that everything between Marco and I had been based
on lies, the fact that I was so easily tossed aside smarted.
“I’m not going anywhere until we speak.” I leveled him with
a gaze that told him I was serious.
“Why don’t you use my bathroom to freshen up, Alexa? It’s
that way through my bedroom.” He pointed toward the room that we’d spent many a
night in. “I’ll meet you there in a few minutes.”
A victorious smile crept across her face, and her gaze swung
to me as she rose from the couch. She brushed her fingers across Marco’s chest
as she passed him. “Don’t be too long.”
He nodded but didn’t spare her a glance as she passed, his
gaze still fixed on me.
As soon as the bedroom door closed, I spoke. “Sorry to
interrupt your play time, Marco, but you owe me some answers and I’m ready to
collect.”
Haven’t met Marco Valenti yet, Now is your chance!
