When he touches me I don't see a killer.
I see salvation.
Isolation, gaslighting, punishment.
I married a man who smirked while he broke me.
Who threatened to murder my parents.
Now I'm running from his abuse to hide with my cousin, who recently married into the Feretti mafia cosca.
Ensconced in their fabulous mansion I encounter a dangerous phantom - the only man who ever made me feel alive.
For just one unforgettable night.
Matteo Caruso. Dark eyes. Skillful hands. Expert mouth. Ruthless killer
My husband will never let me go but Matteo swears to guard me with his life. And wreak vengeance for every single one of the battle scars decorating my body.
His protection comes with a price I'm not sure I can pay.
But when he touches me, I remember what it feels like to be worshipped instead of owned.
He kills for duty, for loyalty, for family.
But will he also kill for love?
I'm starting to think some prices are worth paying.
But have I escaped one violent monster only to be captured by the possessive obsession of another?
*Ruined By Protection is a full-length dark mafia, forced proximity, second chance romance loaded with angst, passion, secrets, lies, twists and most of all, a ton of steam heat. No cheating and a guaranteed HEA.
This is the fifth book in Feretti Syndicate mafia series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.

Chapter 1 Look Inside
Matteo
A hotel bar in Austin. A night I’ve never been able to forget.
Hazel.
The woman who’s haunted my dreams for three years.
And now she’s emerged like a ghost,haunting the Feretti mansion.
WHY? She’s escaping something?
I pace the hallway for a minute, debating. Fuck it. I need to know.
Turning back, I hesitate only a second before pushing her door open without knocking. I want to catch her off guard, need to see what she's hiding.
What I see stops me cold.
Hazel stands before the mirror, sunglasses gone, her blouse on the chair, her fingers tracing a canvas of violence painted on the beautiful skin that I once stroked with reverence.
A dark purple bruise circles her left eye. Fingerprints mark her arms. A large bruise spreads across her ribs.
She freezes when she sees me, arms crossed over her chest, eyes wide with terror.
"I—" Her voice falters.
Something primal and violent awakens inside me as I close the door with deliberate control. Every step toward her is measured, each breath carefully regulated as I fight the rage threatening to consume me.
I reach for her face, and when she flinches—Christ, she flinches—I gently tilting her chin to examine the bruise around her eye. My gaze catalogs every mark, every bruise, committing every single one to memory.
When I finally speak, I barely recognize my own voice.
"Who. Did. This. To. You."
I have only one thought hammering in my head:
Someone is going to die for this.
