Dominic I was the boy who would never be king. The monster who could never be loved.Gia was just a job. Just another girl caught in a world of monsters.It didn't matter that I liked the look of her.I didn't care that she cringed when she saw my soul.I liked it.I liked her fear.And I wanted her.Monsters didn't get to live happily ever after, though. I knew one day I'd have to go back. Because time neither forgave nor forgot.And neither did I.Old debts needed to be settled. Enemies punished. It was past time I returned to the family business. I'd been gone far too long.GiaAll my life, I believed in fairy tales. Not the Disney kind. Never those. I always knew life was darker than that.I was the daughter of a foot soldier. The sister of a snitch. A nobody.Monsters had been part of my life for as long as I could remember, but none as dark as Dominic Benedetti. None as cruel. None as broken.I had no illusions about what he was. I had no desire to save his soul. And I couldn't care about his bleeding heart.But love isn't always beautiful. It could be a twisted, ugly bitch.I'd always known this was the kind I'd find. The only kind that could touch me.Because some of us, we belonged in the dark.And Dominic and I belonged in the dark.Author's Note: Dominic is a steamy standalone romance. He is the ultimate Anti-Hero, so be prepared for a crazy, rough ride. To fully understand Dominic's actions, I recommend reading the first book in the Benedetti Brothers duet, Salvatore.This book is intended for mature readers. No cliffhanger and no cheating.
