[SLOW BURN} (CHECK OUT MY NEW MAFIA ROMANCE. OUT NOW!) "You can't hurt me anymore, Ace. I'm not that crybaby you used to know," she warned, taking a step back. "Who said anything about hurting anyone, darling? There's only one place I need to cry for me. One very," his eyes trailed down her body, and stopped between her thighs. "Very moist place." He took two steps forward, and closed the gap between them. Ace is the legitimate heir to the Atticus dynasty, but there's a condition.

He vows it's only a marriage of convenience, until the redhead let's her hair down, and shows him the woman behind the tears. She falls first, but he falls harder.

"I miss you Fay," the little girl said, and Fay's heart squeezed.
"I miss you too munchkin. How have you been? Tell me, have you been well?" She asked in a rush.
"I'm fine. Ma'am Gabrielle is really nice. The twins are nice too. Grandma bought me a box of white chocolate," she giggled.
"I'm so glad to hear you're fine," Fay said, making a mental note of the fact she didn't mention Aunt Celine. "Sophie, I promise to come see you as soon as I can, okay? You can't see me, but I'm raising my pinky right now."
"Really? But I don't want you to stress yourself. You need to heal a lot before thinking about leaving the house. Promise? And I'm raising my pinky too."
Fay laughed heartily. "Alright darling. But let's talk more, okay? I'll get ma'am Gabrielle's number from Ace, so I can call you whenever I want to hear your voice."
"Okay!" She said excitedly. "Where's Ace?"
"He's not home at the moment. Should I tell him you asked after him?"
