A war isn't the only thing reigniting in Chicago's underworld.

The only time hitman Dane ‘The Butcher’ Ryan makes the "right" choice, he loses the only girl he's ever loved.

Dane intends to be a Captain for the powerful Fitzgerald family, like his father. His only weakness is his (former) best friend's little sister, Zara Fitzgerald. Until he stumbles into a dark family secret and Zara swears him to silence. Dane knows staying quiet puts her at risk—so he breaks the promise. And her trust.

Years later, tragedy—and a brewing mafia war—brings them back together. Too bad The Outfit wants a marriage to settle the scores. And only a Fitzgerald daughter will do…

MY REVIEW RATED 5 STARS Titled: Zara & Dane, an unlikely pair

Dane, what a guy. So misunderstood and in so many ways so good. He's always felt protective of Zara and knows that his hands are bloody. He tells her he's not a good guy, way below her in status.He's loved her for YEARS and had to stand by as she grew up and while she flirted with and "dated" other guys. They never lasted long but it hurt Dane just the same. And he stood and pretended that it didn't. Stone faced.

Zara, is such a softy and her twin is not to be trusted. Dane calls her twin, "The Evil Twin". He's seen the evil one, physically hurt Zara before. But there's even more to that too. Another secret. I loved both Dane and Zara and was pulling for them to be together ! But, it's not going to be easy and it's not going to be fast. But clever, clever Zara has a plan ! I admired her chutzpah ! And, it also began to scary a couple of people, which made me laugh !

And her father Adam, has ALL kinds of family secrets. Never fear. They do get exposed. Some people WILL die ! But it won't be the good guys !

By the way,I loved this cover and it drew my attention right away !
