"Nathan is charismatic, ruthless, and swoon-worthy gorgeous - how’s a girl to say no even if you know it is probably better for your well being. I’m hooked and ready to dig in to the next book in the series." Love wasn’t for me … not until I met Sydney
I’m a monster. Violence, pain, and power is my life. Nothing soft, nothing pure. My work as a mafia enforcer demands it. In my world, everything soft and pure dies. Sydney is an angel. Innocent. I have no business dirtying her with my touch. But I can’t stay away. I’ve claimed every inch of her over and over again—and it’ll never be enough. I know I scare her, but she’s not nearly as frightened as she should be. Because my demons could destroy her. I’d kill to protect her, but what if the biggest danger she faces is me—the ruthless monster in her bed? |

"It took me a couple of days to read the book, it's not that it isn't gripping because believe me it very much is. However it was just so emotionally charged, so soul wrenching and heart breaking that I had to allow myself some recovery breaks in between devouring each finely crafted emotion, every twist and hiccup of the plot. It's a story of shuffling steps forward, stumbles back and one pretty nasty drop down a ravine." An obsessed hitman. A woman on the run.
Finding Kerry was more complicated than Christian ever imagined. Disaster loomed around every corner, pulling his violent nature to the surface. True change must come from within, and breaking old habits is hard when you’re used to taking everything – and everyone – by force. Kidnapping. Murder. Betrayal. Her luck had run out and this time, there was no escape. He had found her. He would claim her. Resisting the enigmatic and dangerous Christian Russo would be Kerry’s hardest trial. Resisting her own feelings might prove impossible. Absolution is part two in the Savage duet. For the greatest enjoyment, the Savage duet needs to be read in order. |

The Russo Saga
Luciano Salvatore and Bianca Russo, born Salvatore, are the children of immigrants who came from Italy to the US in the fifties, searching for a new life in the promised land in the west. The little family was poor and the parents worked hard to provide for their children. Bianca met ten years older Jackie Russo when she was fifteen, fell pregnant and got married. Shortly after, their parents died in an accident at the textile factory where they both worked and Bianca took in her ten years younger brother, raising him as her own child alongside her own growing family. During the birth of her fifth child, Jackie was shot dead in a gang related war.
Luciano and Bianca never saw any support from the authorities after their parents' deaths. They had begun stealing for food at an early age, and after Bianca met Jackie, the two started building the seed to what would later become a vast empire of organized crime, spanning from Chicago to the west coast, with its seat in San Francisco. When Jackie was murdered and the cops shrugged at yet another gang killing, she lost all faith in justice and the American society as she ruthlessly started creating her own luck. With her two eldest boys being in their teens, Christian Russo, then 15 years old, Nathan Russo, then 12 years old, and with their 20 year old uncle Luciano at the helm, she executed a gruesome revenge on the men who had murdered her husband, annihilating every single one and taking over their business as well. Her three younger children, Matteo, Luca, and Angela lived a little more sheltered, raised and protected by their older brothers.
Chicago grew too small for the ambitious Luciano and he moved to San Francisco, building a vast network of crime, consisting of a multitude of both somewhat legal, and a lot less legal businesses. He called for Christian and Nathan, and had also found young Eric, an orphaned kid roaming the streets and with a natural talent for killing, raising him, making him his right hand man.
Matteo Russo runs a real estate business with some money laundering on the side, while Luca Russo studies law at day and overlooks the gambling clubs at night. Both still live in Chicago. Angela Russo has fled to New York where she studies art and refuses to have anything to do with her family.
