Curse Titone was a friend to me once. The sweet boy who saved me from drowning on Sicilian shores. But the cherub-faced child I knew more than twenty years ago is gone.Now, Curse is Toronto's most merciless assassin. A soulless shadow of the innocent boy I once adored.A monster.But when I find myself trapped, terrified, with blood pooling at my feet and no one else to turn to...I know a monster is the only one who can help me. Even if that monster demands a sacrifice.Even if that sacrifice is me. A Monster So Merciless is a dark mafia romance. It is part one of a duet. It is recommended to read the preceding books in the series for background information on the Titone family, but it is not necessary.
