Bones
(Author) Shantel TessierBONESI got my name from breaking the bones of a kid who picked on my younger brother, but that's only where it started.My black heart craves violence, and being a King gives me plenty of opportunities.When a friend comes to me for help because someone he loves is in danger, I'm happy to do so. After all, my friends are few, and they are my family.Once I have her, I do what I have to in order to protect her. She thinks she's in hell, but this is child's play compared to what she would have faced.She's an innocent through and through and completely off-limits. But that's not enough to stop me from doing what I do best-taking what's mine.MIAI was born into a deadly Mafia family, yet I'm a nobody. To the world, I don't exist.Shuffled from Vegas as a child and sent to Italy for my protection, I became invisible. Until they found a use for me. Now I'm a card my father can play. A chance to cash in on the family name to the highest bidder.Taken from my home, I'm sold to a King. His hard blue eyes take no prisoners. He's just another pretty face to hide the evil and in no way my savior.Now I know what hell looks like because I'm living it. But just when I think I can finally be free, it all comes crashing down, and the King I thought would end me is the only one who can save me.All I wanted was to be somebody, but now I wish I'd stayed the nobody.
