Title: Dangerous Obsession
.jpg)
I’m in love—well, some would call it obsessed—with a mythical family. Technically, they’re not a myth, because they do exist. But seeing one is like seeing a wild lion out on the streets of New York. Rare. Except when they’re making the papers.
I know something about that. I work for Vice City Times, a newspaper that reports on, and caters to, the criminal organizations of the world. And in our world, the Fausti family is considered royalty among killers, thieves, and generally anyone who usually does business in the dark.
Because they steal hearts—while they’re still beating.
Being the investigative journalist that I am, I followed the crumbs until they led me to Nazzareno “Naz” Fausti.
It was my dream to go undercover, meet them, and write an article detailing everything I discovered. I never planned to witness Naz stealing a heart right from its chest.
Mine.
My name is Ava Gerardi, aka Pepper Nash, and I’m writing my own story.
I really didn’t think it would be possible, but Bella Di Corte has yet again made me fall deeper in love with the Fausti family. How you ask? By taking a kingdom and making them even…more.
Ava is the sister to Lucila from the fist book. If you haven’t read it, although I highly recommend you do, it’s not necessary to follow along to this one. Ava is a writer/reporter for Vice City. Think of a newspaper that writes about crime in the city while giving the “criminals” coded messages. At least that’s how I understood it, so that’s my reality. Over the years, her passion to learn everything about the Fausti family has lead her to believe that the family ran a certain way, but reality is so much…more, especially after you experience meeting the one who will do everything in his power to make sure you know your worth.
Nazzareno is the first born son to Lothario, Luca’s brother (if you haven’t experienced the Fausti family yet, then this means nothing to you). Although he is Lothario’s son, he doesn’t exactly believe in his father’s quest to be “king” of the Fausti empire, therefore already walking a thin line within the family dealings. Add in the fact that war is coming and his need to make a choice between one faction and another could cause another kind of war and you can only imagine how intense the situations are. But that’s not it, let’s add a woman into the folds. Yep, you guessed it, everything just became…more.
As in any of Bella’s stories, there is lust, love, loyalty and of course death, but this one made me feel different…more. Yes, there’s that word again. It’s really hard to express emotions when they are felt so deeply and on so many levels and let’s face it, I don’t want to spoil anything.
So I’ll just say this. Out of all of the stories Bella has written, this one is my favorite and will be…until her next masterpiece.
