Author Description

I never knew who killed my parents, and I didn't know what was worse. Not knowing, or being a ten year old alone in the streets of Manhattan. I was taken in by a nice homeless man who taught me the basics of survival only to have him also murdered in front of me. Luckily, I was saved by Ethan Crane, a mafia boss who treated me like his own son. I made it my life's mission to avenge my parent's death, but every road I was led down ended in a dead end. Until I met Dani. Beautiful. Fiercely independent. I'm her salvation, and she's the key to my past. Only neither of us knew it when our paths crossed. I made a promise to Dani that my family and I would keep her safe from the phantoms she's running from. I didn't expect to fall in love with the mysterious girl in the condo across from mine. I didn't know that her phantoms were my demons. Falling for her means I need to step back into the darkness I spent so many years separating myself from. It's the only way to keep my past from destroying the woman who managed to chip away the ice around my heart.
