Fire

by Jessi Hansen

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?

About the author

Jessi Hansen was raised in sunny San Diego, but her heart found its true home in Oklahoma, where she followed love all the way to the quiet hum of small-town life.

Now, she spends her days surrounded by the beautiful chaos of motherhood—chasing after little feet, tending to backyard chickens, and keeping an eye on the ever-changing sky. In the rare quiet moments, she finds comfort in words: the ones she reads to her children, the ones exchanged over shared coffee with her husband, and the ones she weaves into stories of her own.

Jessi writes heartfelt tales about spirited heroines and the men who see them clearly—stories rooted in love, resilience, and the kind of endings that make you believe in second chances. Her books are a tribute to family, friendship, and finding beauty in the ordinary.

I read this because I was bored
Everyone in this books were insufferable I truly could not

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.
