He won't leave me...no matter how far I run, he's always a step behind...
Adela Valenti knew she was in over her head with Vito Lucchese. He forced her to marry him. She knew her life was over.
Left for dead, her nightmares became a vicious reality.
But it's not as easy as that. Adela is alive and Vito won't stop until he has his wife back in his clutches. She belongs to him. His one and only prized possession. How could she even think of leaving him?
But Adela won't give up without a fight. She needs to escape this life now or she'll be forever bound. If only she could find a way out of this family...somewhere far, far away.
Her husband and his family will have to drag her dead body back if they want her to become a Lucchese. Vito won't hesitate to burn the world down to keep her bound.
Not having read the first book, I was playing catch-up on the back story between these two.
The premise was fairly obvious Mafia stuff. From what I can gather the brides Mother in Law had kidnapped her, and tried to have her daughter in law killed, because she was a Valenti. The rest of the plot revolved around Vito ( the husband) trying to finally “claim” her as his. This results in them having a steamy sex session in bed and his car, It’s while in his car that he confesses to a murder.
Adela, his wife, has a major freak out, at which point she realises he has drugged her. He apologises, as she appears to be losing consciousness. End of story….
This has to be the strangest, most disjointed story I have read. Some parts seems to go into detail, and take a while to move on, while other parts ( towards the end) raced along with a bizarre rushed ending. It was very strange. And. At times the whole narrative was a little ….amateur **
