Darkest Kiss

Her lips part, waiting for the darkest kiss…

I've kept watch over Noemi Caruso for longer than she knows.

Six-foot-five and deadly, I'm an enforcer for the Irish mob, the Keane family's knife to the throat of polite society. I hunt the worst men in New York by day. By night, I watch her. 

She's my delicate little dove, with dark hair and deep brown eyes and a smile that men write epics about. Noemi belongs to me on a soul-deep level. I bide my time in the shadows, because I need her kept safe in a way I never was.

My enemies steal her on the one night I'm not watching.

They drug her and offer her in a shadowy Sleeping Beauty auction. My little dove will remain frozen in sleep, unable to defend herself against the highest bidder.

I'll kill anyone who gets between me and my girl. 

One kiss is all I need to make her mine and break the spell forever.
