Acquiring Analise

Analise and Xavier Cerelli’s story overlaps Travis and Faye’s. There are some shared events, told from a different perspective.

Xavier is the son of a mafia kingpin. One reluctant to step into his father’s shoes when he passes, setting into motion a rivalry he could never have anticipated. A complex man who struggles with the darkness inside of him. Analise is the ray of sunshine that brightens his world from afar.

When an opportunity presents itself, he takes advantage of it and makes her his, with devastating consequences .

Analise can’t be the trophy wife that she thinks Xavier wants, so she does what any independent woman would do. She leaves him. Her path intersects with another young woman on the run, and when the Cerelli crime family takes them both Xavier and Travis form an unlikely alliance to get their women back where they belong.

Acquiring Analise does have triggers for some people including kidnapping, physical assault and rough sex.
