‘He was the man I thought would save me. Back before I learned that only I could save myself.’

“You’re it for me. You always have been.”

🗡️ First person dual POV
🗡️ Stand alone that connects two previous duets 
🗡️ Childhood friends
🗡️ Mafia romance; MCs from different Families; forbidden 
🗡️ Mutual pining
🗡️ Second chance
🗡️ Misunderstanding
🗡️ She’s married to a cruel mafia don. He faked his own death to save the people he loves and help the FBI to dismantle the mafia Families. But there’s more to both of their stories…
🗡️ Possessive & Protective MCs
🗡️ The way he treats her kids 🥹🙌🏻
🗡️ ‘touch them & I’ll kill you’ vibes
🗡️ He’d crawl home to her 
🗡️ Well established secondary characters 
🗡️ MC growth: trust, risking a relationship, overcoming past trauma
🗡️ Epilogue 


• It doesn’t make sense that he never came back for her, even as a kid after he went to boarding school. The lengths he was willing to go to protect her don’t make sense if he then just left her and never contacted her again…
