How can things you only glimpse for a moment sear themselves into your memory?

~Alessandra, Mobster’s Bones

Alessandra has a problem. It's not that the Mafia is the only life she knows, her father and best friend being members.

She's being followed. Her stalker destroys the one thing Alessandra thought they could never touch. She's now forced to flee the only home she's known, Palmetto.

How can someone be so beautiful? The morning sunlight is coming through the blinds on my window casting a glow around Alessandra. She has been here for a week, and we have fallen into a routine. It is sort of like she has always been here. Imagining her leaving, gives me an unwanted stone in my stomach.

~ Troy, Mobster’s Bones

Things don’t work out according to plan - the scaffolding of his life is crumbling before his eyes. Troy’s plans didn’t include the daughter of a mob enforcer showing up at his door and sleeping in his bed. Are Alessandra and her mafia family worth throwing away the life Troy has always wanted?

Alessandra

My heels click too loudly on the cement sidewalk. I’m moving fast. My fist tightens around the strap on my bag, and I pick up my already hurried pace. I shoot a quick look behind me. No one is there, but I know they are, watching me. My shoulders tighten like someone threw an ice cube down the back of my shirt. The Saturday night special in my purse should comfort me but it doesn’t; I can’t fire at shadows. I’m too nervous to even pull out my phone.

I know better than to be out on the streets at night even in a town where my dad is a Capo. I have never been afraid. I really haven’t had a reason to be. Best friends with the mob boss’s son, Antonio, my father a bad-ass enforcer for the Delisi family make it a no-brainer. Stay the fuck away from me.

Street and porch lights on symmetrical houses flit by, illuminating the cracked pavement then casting it into darkness. I’m two houses away and the pavement stretches before me like miles of empty wilderness. My breathing is labored. Echoing in my ears are abrupt huffs of air in tandem with rushing blood.

My house!

I run up the stairs and unlock the front door, throwing myself into the living room. I slam it behind me and click the lock. I turn, leaning up against it, exhausted. I kick off my shoes and slide down to the floor.

Why is this happening to me? This is destroying me. A tear pricks the corner of my eye. It is shredding me to pieces one eerie bit at a time. I realize paranoia is consuming me as I pull my legs up tight to my chest. I wrap my arms around them and bury my head. I have to tell someone. I will look weak, but I have to. I can’t take this anymore.

“OUCH!” He growled surprised and shoved hard.

“Eeck!” Roll. Thump. She jumped to her feet. “OH, MY GOD!” She looked at the blood seeping out of the puncture marks in his neck. “What have I done?” Horror filled her words as scarlet liquid dripped from her fangs. He moved in her direction. “No!” Her eyes grew misty.

“It was an accident.” He soothed.

“Accident!”

He grinned. “With all the excitement…”

“I bit you!” She sat heavily. Her face in her hands. “I bit you.” She started to sob.

He got of the bed. Walked over and sat on his heels if front of her. Took her hands in his. “It was an accident.” He repeated softly. Tears fell on her bare legs. “Look at me.” he said and tugged loose curls behind her ear

“I am so ashamed,” she said as more tears fell.

He lifted her chin. “You have nothing to be ashamed of.”

“I could have killed you.”

He grinned. “At least I would have died a happy man.” Smack! “Ouch!” Chuckle. Wiping at her tears. “How many men can say…?”

“Stop it.” Her lips twitched.

“I am serious.”

“So am I.” Pulling her to her feet. “How about we take it slower this time.”

She yanked her hands free. “Are you mad?”

“No.” He grinned and pulled her to him. “Lusty, but not mad.”

She leaned away. “Crazy. I mean crazy.”

“For you.” He covered her mouth with his.

She shoved him back. “No!” He frowned. “I will not risk hurting you.” He reached for her. “No.” she said firmly and moved out of reach. “You might be willing to risk it, but I am not.”

“Fine!” He snapped and yanked the door open. “Just so you know. I enjoyed every minute.”

Bang! The door slammed shut. She cringed. Rubbing her tired face, she retrieved her clothes from the floor and dress.

How am I going to explain what happened? She wondered and licked her lips. His taste lingered in her mouth and she licked again. What am I doing? Plopping down in the stone chair, she flicked her wrist. The duvet flew through the air and landed on her lap. His scent filled her nose as she covered herself. I am such a fool. There can never be normal for me.
