The son of a prominent Cosa Nostra Don, Corrado Guzzi’s life should have been all mapped out. He would be what every other Guzzi man was, too—made, mafia. It’s their way. But when given another choice, the chance to be something more, he takes it. Even if it comes with strings.
It’s there that he might find where he belongs, and Alessio Sorrento. The man who could change his whole life.
This love thing? It should have been easy, but they made it hard. Nothing about a relationship like theirs is simple. Dictated by rules, weighed down with things left unsaid, and already hanging by a frayed thread.
This is what love looks like before, and after. Before she came along. And after she was there.
It takes one woman to change everything.
Ginevra Calabrese wasn’t ready for this—for them.
So, what happens now?
Corrado (book one) and Alessio (book two) are a duet within The Guzzi Legacy series, and should be read in order. All other titles in the series are standalone. This is NOT a love triangle.
EXCERPT
“Introducing yourself, Alessio?” the man asked.
Alessio.
Corrado decided right then that he hated that name. And the man it belonged to, as well. The problem was, when Alessio turned his gaze back on Corrado, the humming was back. He couldn’t look away from the ocean of blue that stared back at him, or the way that as much as this guy rubbed him wrong … he wanted to know why. Or anything about him at all. “You’re not causing trouble, are you, Corrado?” his father asked out in the hallway. “Define trouble.” Alessio chuckled. “Is he allowed to play with knives where someone can’t keep an eye on him at the same time?” The man next to Alessio smacked him in the back of the head, making him glower back at him. “Fuck off, Dare,” Alessio muttered. “Play nice, Les.” He looked back to Corrado again. “But why, though? This is way more fun.” Fuck him.
And the fact Corrado found he liked it. Yeah, fuck that, too. The other man, Dare, shook his head. “All right, Les, since you’re feeling chatty today, you can take Corrado around and show him the rest of the complex while I talk business with Gian.” Alessio scowled. “I didn’t volunteer to be some mafia principe’s babysitter for the day.” Dare smirked. “I’m sorry. Did I preface that with, if you feel up to it and it pleases your spoiled fucking ass to do it? No, so do it.”
“Fine.” “Did you introduce yourself properly?” “No,” Alessio said. “Because I didn’t think there was a point.” Dare sighed and waved between the two boys. “Alessio, you already know Corrado Guzzi … or you know what I told you about today. Corrado, meet the pain in my ass, also known as Alessio Sorrento.”
“Thanks for that.” “But not a lie,” Dare replied. “And now my good deed for the day is done. Gian, do you think these two will be fine alone?” Corrado’s father smiled a bit, amusement playing in his gaze as he nodded. “I think they’ll be fine while we chat.” “Good, let’s begin.” Alessio passed Corrado another look as Gian and Dare drifted away from the doorway, disappearing altogether. “Are you going to stand there all day, or what?” Corrado didn’t move. “I’m not doing anything with you.” “Yeah, that’s not going to work. Dare said what he said.” “Fuck him, and you.” “Oh, he swears, too.” Corrado’s jaw flexed with his annoyance. “What is your problem?” Alessio looked him over again, his gaze slow and deliberate. All over again, Corrado felt that same flare of frustration and interest all rolled into one. It warred inside his mind, clashing together and making him want to punch this guy in the mouth just because. “Do you like what you see, or …?”
“Why, because I stare?” Alessio asked. “Because your stare lingers.”
