Story by L.A. Witt and cover made by the one and only Garrett Leigh



BLURB...
Sergei Andronikov was a child when the Mafia wiped out his family, leaving him with nothing but a hunger for revenge. Years later, through ruthless strategy and tireless patience, he’s a contract killer working for the three families ruling Cape Swan… and he’s nearly in position to bring them all down from the inside.

Domenico “Dom” Maisano is Mafia royalty, a made man… and a hitman. He’s caught up in a violent life he can’t escape, struggling to maintain an image he doesn’t want, and suppressing desires he can’t have.

A chance encounter throws the killers into each other’s paths. Though Dom knows he’s playing a dangerous game, he’s intrigued and keeps coming back. Sergei can’t resist him either—Dom is everything he set out to destroy, but he’s also everything he’s ever ached for in a man.

Then Sergei gets the contract he’s been waiting for—the hit that promises to bring the town’s Mafia to its knees.

But when a capo makes an unexpected move, Sergei must choose between dropping the hammer on the families he vowed to annihilate, and protecting the man he swore he wouldn’t love.

And the wrong choice—or even the right one—will destroy them both.


This was not a pretty story, but so far, I can say this is Lori's best work, and I enjoyed Sergei and Dom's story so much.
They're both living in a very dirty world, but this life was never their first choice.Like what Dom said so many times, if he can choose, he won't choose to have this life.

But there's something funny about fate.
Two very broken men, with a very broken past. Enemy.

Sergei, made a good cover to his real 'job' as a hitman, he became a stripper, a flamboyant gay stripper, with a deadly move.
A nameless Georgian guy everybody comes to, when they need a real pro.

But then he met Dominico Maisano, safe his life, and strong attraction between them, become a danger zone for both of them.
All he'd wanted to do was get all this crap away from the club so the cops wouldn't come knocking on doors. Now he had Domenico fucking Maisano on his hands.

They keep secret to each other about who they really are..no telling, no talking about job, except what Dom knows about Sergei, he's a stripper,and Sergei knows that Dom is mafiosi.
“What happened that night? I rubbed my ass all over a couple of dicks. Some Italian guy showed up in the alley with blood all over his fancy suit. And I rubbed my ass over some more dicks.”“Isn’t much else to tell.” “I doubt that.” “That’s all you’ll get from me.”

They're fucked. Every time possible, every time they need it.
“What happened that night? I rubbed my ass all over a couple of dicks. Some Italian guy showed up in the alley with blood all over his fancy suit. And I rubbed my ass over some more dicks.”“Isn’t much else to tell.” “I doubt that.” “That’s all you’ll get from me.”

But the deal of 'just fucking' become more and more addictive.
They need each other. Lied to themselves that this is nothing.
Denying the attraction, that's what they do.
Tonight happened because every time I kill someone, a piece of me dies with him, and I needed—I need—to feel alive.
I need so much more for you. But I can’t ask for what I can’t give.

But life become more and more dangerous. They're forced to finally to face each other as enemy.
No, this couldn’t last forever. No, this wasn’t something that fit into his pre-orchestrated world. But for tonight—for as many nights as he could—this was where he needed to be. This was the one person on earth he needed to be with. This was who he needed to be.

"I'm not supposed to feel this way for you. I'm not supposed to feel anything for you. What the hell is going on?"

"Sergei had undoubtedly saved his life that first night, but Dom was starting to think he did that every time they were together. He’d become a drug. Not a recreational one, but one that kept everything functioning the way it was supposed to.
I’m going to lose my mind without you."

But, love..there's something they did not anticipated before.
Now they have to survive...or lose...
"I want you. I’m supposed to want you dead, but I just want you."

I cried when Dom and Luciano talk for the last time. It was heart breaking.
And reading about Dom and Sergei's past, was not easy, I need some (lots)tissues, because Lori is sadist like that.
But what I love about Lori's book is, she always put our heart back together again after crushed and shredded it into pieces.
"“You’re the last person in the world I was supposed to fall in love with.”"

"Death was waiting outside for both of them, but at least they finally got to know what it was like to feel this alive."


This one is a must read.It's super angsty, but at the same time, Lori gave you the best erotic lapdance. Ever!
My favorite scene!
And followed by some really steamy hot sex between Sergei and Dom.
And it was addictive !




Highly recommended!
