I was doing SOOO good at not requesting too many ARCs and getting overwhelmed and reading them at the very last minute..and here we are. Here's Rina Saint's "Confession." It's the second novel in her Constantine Brothers series.
["I’ve been keeping secrets from my boss. I have to. Because how the hell do you tell a straight man that you’ve been in love with him for years?
If he found out, everything would collapse, and I’ve worked so hard to hold my life together, all these pieces that I don’t deserve: a home, a position, trust. But it’s only getting harder because he keeps watching me, keeps touching me—and I can’t handle it.
I try to tell myself that it’s in my head, but it’s not. Something’s changed between us, and I don’t understand. I don’t know what to do, and I’m terrified that I’m going to do something really, really stupid.
I just have to lock down. I’m good at that. I’ve been doing it for years. I don’t need anything. I swear I don’t. But then he touches me again, unnecessarily, like he’s trying to figure something out, and everything I tell myself I don’t need, everything I can’t have anyway, feels very much like everything I can’t live without."]
D: The push and the pull. The pining. The angst. The sexual tension. The compatibility and the chemistry!! D: These two were utterly perfect for each other. Too bad it took Vitali two years, a gun-shot wound (not his), and a fight in an alley to figure it out. And a teeny, tiny mob war. No big deal.
Trigger Warnings: depression, passive suicidal tendency, torture (not of main characters), and more.
