❝ You’re my butterfly, Vincenzo. And I’m your net. I’ll never let you fall. I’ll always catch you. It might feel suffocating sometimes, but I can’t help it. I’m wired to protect you.❞

❝ Baby, I can never ignore your presence. It fills up the entire room. Probably the entire planet.❞

❝ I built my world in black and white, seeking order and control my entire life. In just a few weeks, you added so much color to it.” He inclined his head. “You shook the dust and grief from my life like it was an old rug. I don’t like it. It terrifies me. But I’m not sure I can go back to what it was, either.” I stared at him, speechless. “The thing is…” Tom licked his lips. “You bring a lot of disturbance into my life. And what I cannot control, I usually destroy. Don’t let me destroy you, Enzo.❞

❝ Maybe you corrupt me.❞

❝ I will not be ashamed of something I do not control. It is my ethical obligation to live authentically.❞

❝ Ours was the story of how I fell in love with a beautiful monster. And how, for him, I’d become one, too.❞

From New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a sizzling, forbidden age-gap MM romance about an FBI agent and the Camorra enforcer who thaws his frozen heart.

Tom

I know a secret that can destroy the most powerful crime organization in America.

For years, I’ve watched Enzo Ferrante get away with murder. Literally. He’s slipped between the FBI’s fingers time after time, spreading terror and mayhem on the streets of New York, masked beneath a gorgeous face and elegant pedigree. A sloppy error on his part results in an incident that unexpectedly binds us together.

Suddenly, I’m no longer the special agent who is thirsty for his blood. I’m his savior. His god. The light in his pitch-black existence. Now that I caught the social butterfly in my spider web, I’m never letting go.

He is about to taste the venomous kiss of betrayal as I put him and his entire family behind bars for the rest of their lives. Because when the night falls, the Camorra’s enforcer crawls between my sheets and whispers all his sordid secrets in my ear.

Enzo Ferrante is completely and utterly mine, and nobody knows. Not even his lovely fiancée.
