Nacidos en sangre

He would burn the world down for her... but she would blow it into a thousand pieces for him... Matteo. I grew up with violence tattooed on my skin and with a father who molded me into what I am today. In my world, loyalty is sworn in blood, and betrayal is paid for with death. I don't want a wife. It's the last thing I need. But when my father orders me to marry Nikolai Ivanov's daughter to seal an alliance with the Bratva, I have no choice. Yelena Ivanova is pure fire. Untamable, defiant... and with every passing day, she consumes a little more of me. We all have a breaking point. And I cannot let her find mine... Yelena. I never asked for a husband -- least of all one like Matteo Lombardi. Savage, unpredictable, dangerous... An arrogant jerk so full of himself that I want to put a bullet between his eyes just to wipe that damn smirk off his face. And yet, in his violence, I recognize my own. In his wounds, I see mine. And I fear that the true enemy isn't the war raging around us, but what is beginning to grow between us. Sure, I could have refused. But I follow orders. And my mission is Matteo Lombardi. I am a soldier. And he is merely my target. After all, I'll kill him when we're done.
