I had something to live for.

The moment I saw him, I knew.

His eyes would hypnotize.
His lips would speak the most beautiful promises.
His body? Made for pleasure.

But if Corrado Capitani thought that he could fool me into thinking he was a good man, he was wrong.

The moment I saw him, I knew the truth.

Those eyes hid his poisonous heart.
Those lips were vessels of deception.
That body? Made for inflicting pain.

He wasn’t sent from heaven. He was sent to drag me back to hell.

I had something to die for.

Alcina Parisi had a price on her head, and she’d eluded the best. She thought no one would ever find her, but I did. Everyone in our world called me Scorpio–the man who never let the enemy go. But she was a weapon, not an adversary, and I’d claimed her as mine.

Mercenary is the third of three books set in the savage world of the Gangsters of New York series.

Author Bio:

Bella Di Corte has been writing romance for seven years, even longer if you count the stories in her head that were never written down, but she didn’t realize how much she enjoyed writing alphas until recently. Tough guys who walk the line between irredeemable and savable, and the strong women who force them to feel, inspire her to keep putting words to the page.

Apart from writing, Bella loves to spend time with her husband, daughter, and family. She also loves to read, listen to music, cook meals that were passed down to her, and take photographs. She mostly takes pictures of her family (when they let her) and her three dogs.

Bella grew up in New Orleans, a place she considers a creative playground.

She loves to connect with readers, so don’t hesitate to email her at belladicorte@gmail.com if you’d like to reach out.

My Review

This third book in the Gangsters of New York series features Corado and Alicna. I don't actually remember coming across them in the previous two books, but there is certainly a connection here. Particularly with our hero and heroine from Machiavellian. This story is about the love between Corado and Alicna and also how she copes with being part of his life and if his way of life really is everything to him.

I have to admit that I thought I was going to struggle with this one a little. The start of the book has a lot of different characters and I found myself getting a little lost as to who was who. It didn't take too long for me to get my head around it all and work it out though.

I really enjoyed this final instalment to the series and I think it worked well being the last, as it fitted well with that first book. I liked Corado and Alicna as a couple and enjoyed reading about the development and growth of their romance.
