SYNOPSIS:
I am the villain of my own story…
Jilted by my fiancé.
A disappointment to my family.
Haunted by my childhood traumas.
I felt so much all my life that I resolved to feel nothing at all.
Until I met my match.
As the most infamous mafioso of the 21st century, Dante Salvatore was madly passionate, unequivocally bad, and entirely too dangerous to know. He was everything I abhorred, yet I found myself representing him in the biggest criminal trial of the decade.
I was so focused on winning and achieving the success I deserved that I didn’t notice the gorgeous black-eyed man’s effect on me until it was too late. My icy heart had been held too close to his flame, and now I wouldn’t let Dante go down without fighting with everything I had in me. Even if the cost of a new life with him meant losing my old life and everything I thought I held dear.

“You are not villainous. You are misunderstood. And Elena, you don’t realize this yet, but I see you, I know you, and I’m fucking undone by the beauty of you.”
Elena Lombardi is the epitome of strong! She was the opposite of what people thought of her, she felt way more than what people thought she felt. Throughout the whole book I just wanted to hug her because of everything she went through.
“You might have no problem beating a man or threatening his family if he goes against you, but I’ve been the daughter of that man, and I’ve been that child who was threatened.”
Her life was filled with pain, and others completely tossed aside her feelings because she was “Cold”. Her sister and her ex completely destroyed her to the point where she sometimes second-guesses herself until Dante came along. Even after all that happened to her, she still sacrificed herself for the ones that did her wrong.
Everything Elena felt, I felt as well. I must say Dante was created for Elena because it took a special type of person to actually get her to open up and let her walls down but once she did you saw her as a whole new person. The author didn’t give her a whole new personality, instead she blended Elena’s coldness with her soft side.
I loved Elena way more than I think I ever could. She’s one of the few FMC that would have a special place in my heart and Dante completely owned me with everything he did and gave to Elena. The guy took an empty, broken person and made her whole again.
Let me clarify; I have never hated a fictional character as much as I hated her little sister!
