Evil hides everywhere, especially when you're the Mafia boss's daughter.
Elizabetta (Lizzie) Lombardi has one semester left of college before she's forced to abandon her dream of being an artist and marry her crime boss father's right hand man, Antonio Deluca. That is, until she falls for one of her classmates, Declan Donnelly, and feels herself being pulled in two warring directions.
A shared dark past, unraveling secrets and a looming wedding threaten to destroy their forbidden connection.
Can Lizzie and Declan's love survive?
Or will they both perish as they risk life and limb to cling to one more stolen moment before they're ripped from each other's lives forever?
Jessi Hansen writes stories for readers who believe love can be messy, healing, unexpected, and still worth choosing.
Blending emotional depth with immersive worlds, her books explore resilience, sacrifice, connection, and the moments that shape us. From contemporary romance to sweeping speculative fiction, every story is rooted in heart, hope, and unforgettable relationships.
Raised in Southern California and now living in Oklahoma with her family, Jessi spends her days writing, reading, and finding inspiration in the beautiful chaos of everyday life.
I've already read Fire when it was on Wattpad so it was a no-brainer that when it came to publishing it, I was going to re-read it.
This is a love triangle, so we have Lizzie the daughter of a Mafia boss, Antonio the right-hand man of said Mafia boss, and Declan the classmate of Lizzie.
Lizzie is set to marry Antonio, which she agrees to after she finishes her last semester. She despises everything her father and Antonio stand for, plus she's already been betrayed in the past so she knows not to trust anyone but then comes Declan and she feels an attraction for him that wish she could act on.
The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that I was annoyed at Lizzie at the beginning. She had so much power and I didn't own it.
I was hooked from the beginning till the end and I sincerely can wait for the next book so I can know how things unfold.
