Irrevocably Shattered by S.C. Ellen

Carson:
My soul was damned from the start. No amount of repentance could save it, and it would be a sick joke to even try.
There was no God for me. There was only hell. A hell I’ve grown well accustomed to because of the savage hand life had dealt me.
My fate was sealed long before I sold it to the La Cosa Nostra. Violence and destruction were all I ever knew. All I ever craved. It was what fueled the monster inside of me that embodied my soul, and left countless of men at my mercy.
I knew there would come a time when I finally had to pay for all of the vengeful sins I committed. Too bad that it had to be her that paid the price.

Alayna:
He was my father’s second in command. Sent for the sole purpose of protecting me from our enemies. I didn’t know it then, but it wasn’t our enemies I would need saving from… it was from him that I did.
He captured the only thing my enemies couldn’t steal –my heart, and by my father’s standards that was a crime punishable by death in the eyes of the Italian Mafia.
It wasn’t a matter of if we’d get caught, it was a matter of when, but who would dare try to save me from a man that had nothing left to lose? And did I truly want to be saved?
