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.
CHRISTINA’S FIVE STAR REVIEW
I don’t want this to end!!!!!! Please tell me that there’s more to this series? I’m completely obsessed and can feel myself slipping in to an ugly cry because it’s over (Wehhhhhhh). I guess I’ll just keep re-reading them.
What a way to conclude a series! I have to admit that at first, I was actually upset with the story line. I mean, my OG series boyfriend’s life was at stake! But alas, this author knew exactly what she was doing, even reminding us woman (and teaching a few men) of our power.
Corrado has a bone to pick. Ok, it’s more like vengeance which quickly becomes an unhealthy obsession. Turns out that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. But is he willing to sacrifice his family for vindication? Will love concur all? Or is obsession a one way ticket to hell?
Alcina has been hiding for a while. Why? Let’s just say Lorraina Bobbitt and her can be “friends”. After escaping the “lifestyle”, returning to it was the last thing on her mind. Until she’s found in a small village and falls for the type of man she should be running from. But now that she’s returned to the world and her family, sacrifices may need to be made in order to restore what she cherishes most.
Have I already asked if this was the end? Gosh, I hope not. I’m seriously crossing my fingers for at least “another” spin off….LOL. There are so many things happening in this story. Everything we’ve learned from the first two books comes to a major climax that will bring you to your knees. This book is about so many things: vengeance, determination, lust, love, family and power. But above all, the biggest lesson learned is that WOMAN RULE THE WORLD!!!!!!
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.
