"You like playing with fire, don’t you?"Adrian’s voice was a low growl, his body blocking mine against the wall. The air between us was thick with something dangerous- something forbidden.I lifted my chin, refusing to shrink beneath his stormy silver-blue eyes. "Maybe I do. But you’re the one who keeps getting burned."His jaw clenched, his grip tightening around my wrist. His control was slipping—I could feel it. He wanted to hate me, to put me in my place. Instead, his thumb brushed over my pulse, feeling the way it pounded beneath his touch."You don’t know what you’re doing, Sienna.""Then show me," I whispered.A muscle ticked in his jaw. For a long, breathless moment, I thought he might actually give in. Then, with a curse, he shoved away from me, his expression cold and controlled once more."Stay out of my way."But we both knew it was already too late.*****Sienna Russo thought she had escaped the brutal world of the mafia.

He doesn’t have time for distractions, especially not Sienna- the fiery, untamed stepdaughter of his father’s new wife. But she tests him at every turn, pushing his limits, and defying his rules. He should hate her. He should want her gone.Instead, he wants to claim her.Their attraction is forbidden, dangerous- a fire that threatens to burn them both alive.
