New York Rogues

JOSEPH
The order was simple. Kidnap Sloane Brennan, daughter of my father’s enemy. Take her to Italy. Leave her with one of his contacts, who would hold her as leverage to make her father behave.

But when it comes to Sloane Brennan, nothing is simple.

I’ve loved this girl my entire life. Spilled my own blood to protect her. Tasted more of her than I should have.

And now that she’s in my hands again, I want her back. I want the hot nights. The feel of her skin under my fingertips. Her passion running through my veins like a drug.

My father thought he was sending me to kidnap her and turn her over.

But one flash of her silver eyes and I already know I won’t.

Sloane Brennan is mine. And I’ll kill any many who tries to take her from me.

No matter how many wars it starts.

SLOANE
I’m in trouble.

The crime: Kidnapping.

The criminal: Joseph Rossi.

Once my best friend. Now my enemy. Joseph has orders to take me to Italy and hand me over to a stranger, then go back to New York without me.

Instead, he’s letting his hot temper take control. Playing hero. Acting like we’re still best friends on some sort of adventure. But he’s not the boy I once knew. He’s bigger. Darker. More dangerous. The smoke to my flames. And it’s getting under my skin.

But letting him back in isn’t in the cards. It’s not an option, no matter how much I might want to.

Because the last time I did, he deserted me. And I’m not going to make that mistake again.
