Because I'm Yours - Claire Contreras

\n \nLenora De Luca\n \n \n\n \nI've always been a good girl.\n \nThe perfect daughter.\n \nThe perfect sister.\n \nAnd, in two weeks, I'm supposed to become the perfect wife.\n \nI don't know or like the man my father chose to marry me off to but I have no say in the matter.\n \nThat's why when I see Rocco Marchetti, the man I've had a crush on my entire life, I decide he'll be my first.\n \nWhen he looks at me it's electric and I know he wants me.\n \nWe keep stealing glances and hiding smiles, but I want more.\n \nI want one night with him.\n \nSo what if I'm the daughter of the most feared man in organized crime?\n \nSo what if he's my overprotective brother's best friend?\n \nIt's just one night.\n \n \n\n \nRocco Marchetti\n \n \n\n \nLenora De Luca is as forbidden as they get.\n \nShe's also kind, and thoughtful, and makes my d . . . makes it hard to think.\n \nIt starts off innocent enough, just flirting, but then she kisses me and tells me she wants to spend one night with me.\n \nIt's wrong on so many levels, but I don't even try to deny that I want her.\n \nI tell myself that it'll be her wedding present (I know I'm sick, get over it).\n \nI've had plenty one nightstands that end amicably.\n \nLenora can't possibly be any different.\n \nAs long as her brother doesn't find out, things will be fine.\n \nI usually strategize and think through every decision, but something about her makes me walk right into the fire.\n
