[Barresi 04] • Chain Reaction

Dante Barresi. We’ve known each other our entire lives. I have loved him, I have hated him, I have needed him, and I’ve wanted to kill him. And not necessarily in that order. Every time the dangerously brooding man comes back into my life, someone gets hurt. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Now, Dante is a powerful man in the New Orleans underground and I should have run screaming for the hills when the only man I’ve ever loved demanded a favor from my father, the police chief of New Orleans. Instead, I’m married to the mob and to the only man in this world with enough power over me to either save me… or destroy me…

This book is the first in a duet and ends in a cliffhanger. The duet has its own HEA and can be read without reading its predecessor, but it is highly recommended to read the Emily trilogy first to understand the dynamics of the relationships between the characters. This book has mature content that is intended for audiences 18+ including situations which may be triggering for some.
