Whispers of Vice and Virtue #2
Silent Rose
Rosanna Mariano
They think I’m not listening in on their dirty secrets. They think I could never belong to the Whispers of Vice and Virtue. They see me as the perfect, spoiled daughter of the Mariano family. Well, they thought wrong.
I may be an obedient, quiet, picture-perfect Mariano during the day, but at night, I bring a whole other meaning to the family name. I’m one of the best spies in the Mafia. Until recently, I’ve never been caught—until Rocco Accardi saw me eavesdropping on the most powerful men in Italy, making him my problem. Rocco always finds me in the dark, and I don’t doubt that he’d expose my secrets just like I expose everyone else's.
Rocco kidnapped my best friend, has seen me kill a man cold-blooded, and is rumored to be a psychopath. He is a walking red flag to my family name, and I hate him with every fiber of my being.
So why is it that I can’t seem to stay away?
Rocco Accardi
Obsessed, primal, unhinged—these are the words that come to mind when I think of Rosanna Mariano. I find myself drawn toward dark corners, looking for her, knowing she’s lurking in the shadows. Those men would kill her in a heartbeat if they discovered what she knew, yet she’s not afraid.
Oh, sweet Rose. They aren’t the monsters you should be watching, I am.
Rosanna is a completely different woman at night than she is during the day, and I must admit, I love her dark side. Her family would never let me near her, but they’re delusional if they think they can stop me.
They say there is a thin line between love and hate, and I couldn’t agree more. My feelings for her are complicated; I adore her, yet I feel a seething hatred at the same time. She distracts me, makes me violent, and those psycho rumors going around? She makes them come true.
When I find out her parents have arranged for her to marry someone else? Oh, the fun is just getting started.
