SYNOPSIS

When falling is easy, people often forget about the crash.
The time has finally come for Marcus Guzzi to step into his birthright. He’s the firstborn—the next boss to take over his family’s mafia and he’s never been more ready. With an MC encroaching on Guzzi territory, family expectations following him, and more responsibility on his shoulders than ever, what’s one more thing added to his ever-growing list of duties when his father asks for a favor? He just didn’t expect that favor to bring with it a woman he can’t ignore.
Cella Marcello is a lot of things. Single mother. Daughter of a former New York Underboss. A highly sought-after interior designer. Widow. The one thing she’s learned about life after all that’s happened in hers? It keeps moving on, and so does she. When a contract for a penthouse design takes her to Toronto, she isn’t ready for the gorgeously dangerous man waiting there to make sure she has everything she needs. Even if the thing she needs is him.
Marcus is everything she never wanted before now. He wasn’t even looking for someone like her. When the traumas of the past take center stage, these two will need to decide if the chance at forever is worth the risk.

Woahhhh, Marcus was amazing!! This book is like a double cherry on top of an amazing sundae! Every time I read a Bethany-Kris book I realize how I'm unable to pick just one Kris story. I'm not even sure I could choose a single family as a favorite series!! However, what Marcus has that the other books don't is closure. It wraps up the Guzzi's and the Marcello's. Of course she would find a way to put two of the last singles together and make it amazing!! Marcus is the heir to the la familia. It was never a question and he was all for it. Just like he was all about Cella. I'd previously ached and cried for Cella so seeing her getting her HEA just made me month!

I feel like I just rave and rave for Bethany-Kris's novels but I guess when an authors is skilled like Mrs. Kris is there isn't much else to do. This might have been my absolute favorite child that BK has ever written. Tiffany was just precious and the relationship between her and Marcus grabbed me right by the heart and squeezed!! I can't help but consume these stories! This is author that if you like your romance with some pulse-pounding situations that ride the line of right and wrong everyone should try!! I honestly can't fathom one person cracking open a Bethany-Kris novel and not falling in deep with the characters, the plot and the gorgeous way Kris writes.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.



















EXCERPT



The stark contrast between the vice president of the Quebec chapter of the Riders—a one-percenter motorcycle club that had a heavy hand in dealing with illegal pills and prostitution between Quebec and Ontario—and Marcus in his three-piece suit was never more obvious than in those moments. Here they were, dining in a five-star restaurant Marcus had closed down to the public for this goddamn meeting, and the VP came with his men in tow, on bikes, wearing their denim and leather.
The disrespect started there.
And it had yet to end.
Excusez-moi?” Marcus asked, choosing French to reply to the man because he knew the biker—Glen, he went by—was French-born first. His last name, Cote, a testament to his heritage. “What does my age have to do with this conversation we’re trying to have here? Because I am pretty sure the answer is nothing.”
Glen grinned, but it came off as more like a sneer. His French accent heavily colored his words when he replied in English, “I’m wondering if you should even be here sitting at this table, or if I should have waited for something with a few more years and a bit of … understanding about this business of ours, oui?”
Marcus had every urge to grind his teeth right down to the fucking roots because that right there was a low blow, and he didn’t doubt the other man knew it. In the world of mafioso, where Marcus had been born and bred from the moment he took his first breath, if a man sat at the table … it was because he earned his place there. Questioning it only meant more disrespect, and shit, hadn’t he taken enough of that from this asshole today?
He thought so.
“We’re not here to discuss my age,” Marcus said, leaning back a bit in his chair to get back to his previously unbothered, calm disposition before the asshole across the table tried to change the subject. “We’re here to discuss the fact that your club has decided to take issue with the Guzzi organization taking over the maple syrup farm—”
“In our territory.”
Marcus arched a brow. “Let me ask you a question, yeah? Indulge me, you know, in all my ignorance because of my age and whatnot. Would you?”
Any man Marcus had brought into this meeting would have known right away that statement was nothing more than bait. Only a stupid man would take it because once it was thrown out there, it meant Marcus had come to really play. As the underboss of his father’s Cosa Nostra, he didn’t have time to play very much. Everything was serious. Walk the fucking line, type of deal. Three-piece suits every single day, up before the sun rose and walking the streets to do the kind of business, he’d been doing for most of his life.
He was made.
Mafia.
Guzzi.
So, when he took a minute to play, if a fucker was stupid enough to take the bait, he was going to reel them right in. Until he could snap their goddamn necks. The idiot across the table from him included. As he thought, the man took the bait.
Because of course.
“Sure, why not,” Glen muttered. “As if we all have time today, ask me a question, Marcus.”
His jaw ticked.
It’d been Marcus from the moment he walked in the door. Not sir or Guzzi or even mister. As though they were on a first name basis, despite the fact that Marcus repeatedly and clearly corrected the asshole every time he used his first name. Something else to add to the pile of disrespect. He wished he was shocked.
But nope.
“Do you assume when I put this suit on and get in my black Mercedes you saw me arrive in that I suddenly become a man who doesn’t know how to nail your head to the wall with a well-placed bullet?”
Glen stiffened, his tattooed arms bulging when they flexed at his chest. “Is that a threat, Guzzi?”
Ah, so now it was Guzzi, huh?
