The Mafia's Undoing

Katherine Blaire has worked six grueling years to rise to the top of the banking world of Manhattan. Confident, voluptuous, and ambitious, she's nearly within reach of the promotion that will help to finance the college education of her autistic brother. She needs but one account- the account of Anthony Marvin, arguably the most influential and dangerous man in New York. Anthony "Tony" Marvin doesn't just own hotels and nightclubs. He controls both legitimate and underground empires as the heir of the most notorious mafia family in the city. Tony is ruthless, heartbreakingly handsome, and untouchable until Katherine enters his club with the business plan and with an unwavering refusal to back away from him. When Tony offers Katherine something she cannot refuse —a night with him in exchange for the contract —she storms out, humiliated and outraged. But Tony is interested in the woman who had the strength to say no to him, and Katherine finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of power struggle, desire, and growing love. As their relationship grows stronger, Tony's father, the ruthless mafia kingpin Thomas Marvin, will do whatever it takes to eliminate what he sees as his son's greatest weakness. Surrounded by enemies and with Katherine's entire family in danger, she and Tony must decide if their love is worth risking everything — including their lives. In a world in which love is the ultimate vulnerability, can a banker and a mafia prince redefine the rules of power?

But unknown of her awakening power Rysa discovers the betrayals and power plays around her that her naive past self was unknown of. Thrown into a new life she barely understands, Rysa takes the reins of her own destiny. An air varien and light varien rediscover their resonance ### "I'm scared" I whisper, burying my face into his chest. The steady beat of his heart try to sooth me. Chuckling, he tightens his arms around me, pulling me closer. "Hmm... that's new coming from you sunshine," He murmurs against my hair. "But I know you can do this. I trust you." he kisses the top of my head. Tears well up, threatening to spill at any moment. Adrenaline rushs through my veins. "Will you stay with me?" I whisper into his shirt, unable to look into his stupid face that's smirking at me right now. "Always and forever" he says, tilting my head up. Yanking his tie hard, I kiss him one last time before I push myself off the cliff to see my world disappearing into darkness. ### Part I : Rays of monsoon ###
