Bloody Heart
by Sophie Lark
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
You'll get a satisfying HEA with intense spice and emotional catharsis after all the angst.
Synopsis
When you get a second chance, you don’t wait for a third… Simone Solomon lives in a gilded cage. She’s been raised to wealth, privilege, and above all, obedience. Hiding in the back of a limousine, dreading another tedious gala, Simone is abducted by a mafioso who intended to steal a car, not a girl. Dante Gallo looks like a beast and behaves like one, too — until he lays eyes on Simone. Their attraction is irresistible, even if they’re completely wrong for each other. Simone is willing to risk everything for Dante — until the disastrous night that splits them apart. Fate grants her one more chance to reconnect with the man she can’t forget. But Simone has a secret… a mistake she fears Dante will never forgive… The Lark Notes: This was the first book I wrote that ripped my heart out. It’s a story about longing and regret, and the determination to win back the most precious thing you ever lost. Plus there’s a scene with a belt that had me dragging Mr. Lark into my writing room. Nothing dries tears like some flaming-hot spice. XOXO – Sophie "Bloody Heart" is the angst-ridden fourth installment in the "Brutal Birthright" series. It's a standalone Second Chance Mafia Romance, with a HEA and no cliffhanger. Contains steamy scenes.
