Risk: A Love & Corruption Novella
Author: Bree Pierce
Genre: Mafia Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blurb:
Zayin:
Pain. Being away from her was physical and mental anguish
for Zayin Rhodes. Her flowing platinum hair and grey, discerning eyes were
branded on him. There would never be another woman for him. Never. If he
couldn't have her, he might whither and turn to ash as he slowly died inside.
The cold façade Zayin put on so many times when the job required it would
become his only look if that happened.
Avery:
Falling in love with anyone but John Rhodes hadn't been in
the plan. But things had warped terribly out of control and Avery found herself
longing for John's cousin, Zayin, as John announced that he would be marrying Jane,
a hostage of the Rhodes family. Due to those strange circumstances, Zayin and
Avery share a night of passion that changes everything. Now decisions must be
made as to whether she is going to stay or run. She would be leaving with her
lover's baby, and with an angry mob boss searching for her. Is love really
worth the risk of staying though?

Risk Excerpt:
“I don’t care.
Once in a while I need at least one stolen moment with you,” his voice
was husky as he replied. “I can’t live
without it, Avery.”
Surprise bloomed in her wide eyes at his sweet and
honest words. Avery’s lips turned down
in a slight frown as a tear slipped from her right eye and trailed down her
cheek before Zayin reached out and wiped it away. “I don’t know how much longer I can do this,
Zayin.”
Feeling the sting from her words, he replied,
“What do you mean?”
“I mean I can’t sit here and wait for someone to
determine our future much longer when you can try to change that.” Avery blinked back the tears forming in her
glassy eyes. Seeing her like this was
tearing Zayin apart inside.
“I can’t risk him saying no. We would never be together. There wouldn’t even be a chance in hell for
me to hold onto anymore,” he ground out through his clenched teeth.
Suddenly Avery quit dancing, pulling Zayin to an
abrupt stop as well. “Life is about
taking risks, Zayin.” With a sad
expression, she pulled away from him and walked off.
After Avery caught Jane’s bouquet, she left and
didn’t come back for days. Of course he
knew why, but Zayin didn’t want to face the facts. She was just about done having to wait. If she left him for good, it would be his own
fault.
Seeing how happy John and Jane were together cut
him even deeper. Not that everything was
perfect for them; far from it actually.
But for some reason, an innocent hostage and the Boss’s son had fallen
in love, married out of duty and to save Jane from the inevitable. Out of all that, they still managed to look
every bit as happy as a regular married couple.
Maybe even more so.
Zayin was happy for them both, but it also caused
him pain being without Avery. Knowing
that his inaction was hurting her.
Deprived of the one woman on the planet that he couldn’t do without.
