*~*Love Note – Adrian to Lia – Privilege by Tina Donahue*~*
She’ll destroy the mobsters who murdered her brother… unless they kill her first.
District cop Lia Blosky warned her twin brother not to get involved with the Valesky Crime Family. He didn’t listen. Now, he’s dead, tortured horribly before mobsters murdered him. Out for blood, she’ll do anything to see these monsters dead.
FBI Special Agent Adrian Kalin is connected to the Valesky Family in a way he loathes and doesn’t want. His stepfather rules the syndicate and is tired of Lia threatening to kill him and others responsible for her brother’s death. To shut her up for good, he orders Adrian to murder her. Who better than an FBI agent who has no connection to her and knows how to hide evidence?
Adrian resists, but if it comes down to saving Lia or his brothers and mother from Dimitri’s rage, he’ll have to choose family.
In a deadly game between each other and the mob, Lia and Adrian fight to survive… while also surrendering to their undeniable attraction to each other.
This is book two in the Valesky Crime Family series, can be enjoyed independently and has an HEA.
Publisher’s Note: This contemporary dark mafia romance contains elements of mystery, suspense, action, adventure, adult themes, and possible triggers for some readers.

Lia –
Before you came along my life was hardly bearable. Each day was something I had to survive rather than look forward to. As you well know that’s because of my stepfather Dimitri.
What that monster did to your brother was unforgiveable. Then for him to want you dead—by my hands—so he’d never face consequences… Damn.
From the first moment I saw you in that gym, beating the hell out of the punching bag, I knew I was a goner. I’m not the sentimental type, but the second our eyes met I remembered that scene in West Side Story when Tony and Maria see each other for the first time during the dance in the gym. Like them, everyone else faded away for me when our gazes touched. I saw only you. I wanted only you.
That need grew even when you were convinced I’d kill you as Dimitri demanded. I can’t blame you for that. My brothers’ and my mother’s survival depended upon you dying. Even thinking about those dark days makes me sick.
To say you saved my life and my future by believing in me is a sad understatement. If not for you, I wouldn’t be the man I am today. Not perfect, but doing my best to be better.
I intend to prove it on Valentine’s Day. After massaging you from head-to-toe then giving you a bubble bath, I’ll cook your fave things. Once you’re relaxed and content, I’m going to take you to bed and not turn you loose until you’re breathless. That’s a damn promise.
All my love forever…and then some,
Adrian
