To Their Heart's Desire (Sinfully Damned) | Leslie Bates

MONSTERS THRIVE BETTER IN THE DARK.

Emilia

Known in Chicago as the Black Widow or the Serpent Queen, Emilia DeLuca is a force to be reckoned with. They either fear her or they envy her. As head of the DeLuca mafia clan, she rules over this city. When her status catches the attention of an exclusive secret society that’s only whispered about in the streets, she can’t help but be intrigued. But, she has the feds breathing down her neck, an old enemy at her front door and a hot new bodyguard wanting to know her deepest desires and secrets. Now it’s not just her life on the line, but her heart as well.

Matteo

Matteo only loves two things: himself and his car. When hired to be Emilia DeLuca’s new bodyguard, he’s blindsided by not only her beauty, but what lies beneath her hard exterior. He’s determined to know every single thing about her, but his intentions aren’t entirely pure, they’re sinful. Little by little, Emilia buries herself underneath his skin and soon she has him questioning his own morals. His career is at stake and so he will need to choose - his life’s work or dancing with the devil.

THERE ARE TWO TRAGEDIES IN LIFE - ONE IS TO LOSE YOUR HEART’S DESIRE, THE OTHER IS TO GAIN IT. EITHER WAY, THIS STORY WILL END TRAGICALLY.
