This is the second book in the Original Sin series. I have wanted to read the first book since it came out but never did. I will soon rectify that. This book is about Elio and Georgia who have a long and twisted history together. Elio as a young man worked for Georgia’s father. He was told to stay away from her but of course he didn’t. The attraction between them was intense. When Elio tried to get permission to marry Georgia things went downhill fast. Now years later Elio is working as the enforcer for the mafia and he must rescue Georgia (who is in danger) who is a widow and bring her to the head of the mafia that will arrange a marriage for her. Elio and Georgia now hate each other because of so much miscommunication. Elio was in the military and lives by his training he appears so aloof and unapproachable. Georgia life has been difficult lately because of her marriage. This book had great angst, spice and of course tension. Great story with amazing characters.
