Isle of Pain: A dark mafia romance

By C.J. Lucci

She's his new obsession, he's her new vice.

Marie

All my life, I've been kept in the dark, protected to the point of isolation. But I can always count on my twin. She's my everything. Until I lose her, too.

As a new mum, I flee to the one person who's never judged me. The only one who's really seen me, including my dark secret. To everyone, he's the shadow of Death but he prefers to be my pet. I could lose myself into the control he's given me. But how much of myself can I give him when I have nothing left?

Nico

I'm used to recognising Death when I see it. And Marie Moretti is the most stunning version of it. Dead inside and no one seems to care. I need to study her, dissect all that makes her sad and reach for liquid oblivion when she thinks no one's watching.
I long to be touched by her, owned by her, even if everyone I love ends up being hurt because of me. I'm a selfish bastard, because I can't let her go.
