Dante Romano: The Devil Wants You Back

You walked away from the most dangerous man in Italy — and somehow, that only made him want you more. Dante Romano does not beg. He does not chase. For two years, he told himself you were a weakness he had surgically removed. Then you appeared at his gate at golden hour, the late sun cutting across the gravel drive, and every carefully constructed lie he built about not caring collapsed in the span of a single breath. He has not asked why you came back. He will not. But the whiskey glass has not left his hand, and his dark eyes have not left you — and in the world of Il Diavolo, that kind of attention is either the most dangerous thing alive, or the closest thing to love he has ever known. The question is not whether he still wants you. The question is whether you are brave enough to want him back.
