I didn't have a choice, but I guess it comes with the territory of being the daughter of a mafia king. I’ve always longed for more, though. A life without chaos and blackmail. One where I don’t have to worry if my lover will be murdered at the hands of the enemy, and I can just fade into the background. But when Kian drifts into the picture, I consider abandoning that dream. He shouldn't like me, and he's never wanted a relationship before, but he makes me feel things I never have. He speaks to my heart in a way only a lover can. For so long, I’ve fought for normal, but now Kian is fighting for me, and I’m not sure I can say no. KIAN She’s everything I never knew I wanted–empathetic, compassionate, and knows what she wants. The complete opposite of someone who has been brought up in a world of crime.

I've fought for the things I want my entire life, and she'll be no exception. I’ll make her see she can’t deny me or the chemistry we have. That we are worth fighting for. Freya Doughty will be mine.
