Cruel Lies (Messina Crime Family, #2)

She’s forbidden. Untouchable. My late wife's little sister. And my kryptonite. Now I'm forced to protect her in a cabin with only one bed.

When Nicolette was seventeen, she kissed me. And I did the only thing I could do—I pushed her away, even when it was the last thing I wanted.

I’m the son of a crime boss. Too old for her–and much too dangerous.

I only married her sister because I had to, not because I loved her. But Nicolette hates me for it.

She's twenty one now, and no longer the girl I remember. She's all woman, right down to her curves. But she's still too innocent for a man like me.

When her life’s in danger, my brother brings her to me for protection.

But when I see her again, protecting her isn’t the only thing on my mind.
