Here's Silvia Violet's "The Recluse." It's the fourth novel in the Texas Safehouse series, which is within the Marchesi Family universe.
["The days I spent as a prisoner of war haunt my dreams most nights. I’m doing my best to move from one day to the next, but nothing feels pleasurable anymore—until I find Carlo Marchesi sneaking around my cabin.
Carlo is a mobster. He’s supposed to be under guard. But when he suggests a wicked way to pay for a night in my house, I can’t say no, and I can’t hold back the real me, the dangerous man I never thought I’d be again.
Being with Carlo feels more real than anything has in ages, but he has a life back in Boston, and neither of us are a good bet for a relationship.
When Carlo’s enemies come for him, will love be enough to hold us together and help us survive to build a life together?"]
Whelp, I wasn't entirely prepared for that.
I didn't anticipate the lack of angst and hurt/comfort. Especially after realizing that Carlo was the other MC. I excepted someone softer for Blade than a spoiled mob prince, but Carlo was so much more than that (and absolutely everything Blade needed). I also didn't anticipate crying. So...thanks for that.
I loooved these two. They healed in each and helped each other grow after their pasts tried to tear them down.
LOVED the Angel and Devil moments (and okay, Lucien).
Of course Fox is last. I'm sure he'll get smacked right over the head with love, so hard that he won't know what happened.
Trigger Warnings: violence, murder, abusive parents, PTSD, blackmail, and more.
