Her Dark Protector - Katelyn Brehm

GINA

For over half a century, he's watched me from the shadows. With each hour we're held prisoner, temptation draws me closer to my dark protector.

The Shaughnessys know our secret. They've allied with the feds to destroy the Italian Mafia and prove we're blood demons. To prevent a war and protect our people, we plan our escape.

But Vito Balistreri-the infamous Valenzano enforcer-is an apex predator whose ruthless energy awakens my primal instincts, enticing the deviant parts of myself I buried long ago.

I have to remain in control, because what no one knows is that I'm just as deadly.

VITO

Power. Passion. Restraint. She's the light in my darkness. I failed her once. I won't fail her again.

War is brewing, and we're on the front lines of the first battle. Against the Irish mob. Against the feds. Against anyone who'd persecute our people.

They don't know it yet, but the men who kidnapped us are already dead. It's just a matter of time.

I wait for the right moment to strike, because I can't risk her safety. I've loved Gina DeVita for over half her life; I'll do anything to protect her. Even if she thinks I'm a monster.

HER DARK PROTECTOR is the third book in the Bonded in Blood quartet. Each Paranormal Mafia Romance ends with an HEA, but the books are closely interconnected with an overarching series-wide plot.
