Forgive Us Our Sins

I’m a nobody.

Another nameless face in the crowd.

A deliberately hidden mistake by my father.

As the leader of one of four families that run the city, I’m seen as a burden to him. A stain on the family name, unable to be molded into the brainless minion he’d benefit from. But I was not born to bend to his or anyone else’s will. To his dismay, I covet the anonymity his loathing affords me.

I should have known nothing good lasts forever. My secret has been exposed. My simple life is a distant memory as I’m thrust into the world I never wanted to be a part of. People who were never to have learned of my existence, don’t know me as my father’s daughter, but as Mrs. Lorenzo DeLuca - the wife of the most feared man in the city.
If being raised in hell has taught me anything, it’s survival. After living with that monster for all those years…what’s a few months playing house with a ruthless killer? It’s only temporary until I can slip through the cracks and put this chapter of my life behind me. There’s just one problem…

Lorenzo.
