<b>&quot;Emotions make a man do crazy things. But a woman is a demon without it.&quot;</b><br /><br />Marco used me and hurt me, the day he left me in a crumpled mess on the floor. I convinced myself he hated me, that he is nothing but a distant dream I once wanted.<br /><br />Now, I am in his home and he is looking at me like I am more than just a Mezzosangue, and I am staring at him like he is the enemy because <i>he</i> is.<br /><br />He wants to kill my friend, but I will not let that happen. Our cards are out, and I am a <b>Queen</b> with aces. I called his bluff and he played his hand too early, now it&#39;s my turn. Only Marco Catelli doesn&#39;t believe in fair play and I am done losing.<br /><br /><i><b>The story follows Aliyana Capello and Marco Catelli&#39;s life and the events leading them to the alter.</b></i><br /><br /><br /><i><b>Part 2 in the Suspenseful Romantic trilogy continues, when Aliyana and Marco come head to head.</b></i><br /><br />Sometimes duty and honor have no chance when loyalty is involved.
