He was in charge of her safety, only him!
Mob boss Salvatore Lucianno Gabrini felt like an utter failure. He failed to protect the love of his life, his wife Gemanette Jones Gabrini. When will these people learn? When you come for one, you come for the entire clan, but not this time. Sal couldn't risk it. Gemma's life was on the line. If she was thrown in prison, she would never see the light of day again. Sal couldn't have that, she was his life. If something happened to her, Sal couldn't survive and Lucky would be an orphan.
This time, someone was coming not from Sal's past but Gemma's. Someone was going through extraordinary lengths to get back at her. Sal was going to put a stop to it by any means necessary. But, he could not risk the family knowing what plan B was. He, Domi and Mick executed it flawlessly. Sal and Gem left destruction in their wake. Gemma turned out to be the perfect mob boss' gun moll. Domi is older in this story and I can see a future of a book series about him. He is such a character.
Mallory never fails to bring the ultimate in suspense and drama in her stories about the most alpha tight knit mob family there is. These men may be gangsters but they love their wives and family and vow to protect them with their life. Sal showed that he loves Gemma with everything in him in this story. He knows that he is lucky to have her as his wife, even though other people think just the opposite. I thought I would cry when he ask Gemma to forgive him for marrying her because he knows her association with him has brought her too much drama. To Gemma, there was nothing to forgive because without Sal, her life would be so vanilla. Being married to him was priceless. I loved this story, as always, I could not put it down until I was finished with this surprise ending to this "who done it." The epilogue was the icing on the cake, it was so sweet.
