Dante

Dante
Elena Rossi is the enemy.
Her brother runs a rival family that's been stepping on my territory, testing my patience. She should be nothing more than a pawn in our deadly game.
But when bullets start flying and she refuses to cower, I see the truth. She's no innocent bystander. She's got steel in her spine and fire in her blood.
Protecting her makes me a target. Wanting her makes me weak.
Loving her could destroy both our families.
But I'm Dante Veneziano, and I've never walked away from a fight.
Especially not when the prize is worth starting a war over.

Elena
I've spent my entire life trying to escape the shadow of the Rossi name, building something clean in a world stained with blood.
Then Dante Veneziano walks into my life. Six feet of lethal elegance wrapped in an expensive suit, my brother's most dangerous enemy. He's everything I should fear, everything I've fought to avoid.
But when men with guns come for me in the night, it's Dante who shields me from the bullets. Dante who kills without hesitation to keep me safe.
I should run. I should hate him for what he represents, what he's done.
Instead, I find myself drawn to the darkness in his eyes.
Wanting him is a betrayal of everything I believe in.
Loving him could start a war that tears this city apart.
But some desires are stronger than family loyalty, stronger than fear.
And Dante Veneziano might be worth burning my whole world down for.

Dante is a short, sweet, and steamy instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Veneziano Family series.
