Dirty Hearts
Claudius
Rule #1 of being mafia boss- Trust no one.
Rule # 2- Keep your friends and enemies damn close. In the underground world, friends and enemies could be the same thing.
My story started out with a guy who liked a girl.She looked like an angel to him.I was the guy, Ava the angel.But I got caught in a game I didn’t want to play.A game with the devil that destroyed me.My life turned into this world where I got married to her twin sister and Ava hated me.The situation became my weakness when my enemies used it against me, and killed my wife.Ava could have died too so I stayed away from her.It was safer that way.Year in, year out I tell myself the same thing, and I stay away.But, the universe had other ideas, and threw her right back in my path.I can’t have her.An angel like her doesn’t belong in the darkness of my world.I know this, except, I’m selfish.I should leave her alone, but I can’t.The problem is …history is repeating itself, and there’s an enemy in my circle.It’s the same game as before and this time losing could get her killed.
Ava
Avoid him…That was the most sensible thing to do.Besides, Claudius wasn’t any old guy.He was the don of the Chicago mafia.Ten years ago, when I’d first met him, I knew the man was trouble, but I didn’t listen.He’d made me love’s fool and broke my heart in so many ways when he married my sister.That was a lesson to learn.So, what was I doing running back into the arms of a man I shouldn’t be with?We were like darkness and light.Different. Too different.Coincidence reunited us, but my heart did the rest.My heart blinded me to sense and logic, and stifled the voice inside that told me to run away.My heart made me selfish…I wanted him for myself.I knew I shouldn’t be with him, but I couldn’t leave him alone.That very thing could be my downfall.This isn’t like any other second chance romance you’ve read before…
