A very different path for Tara, but what a ride

A new road for Tara but a really good journey. This takes us into the world of the Mafia and art theft.
Lucia has lost her parents in tragic circumstances and is drunk, distraught and wandering in a dangerous part of the city of Venice. She is saved from being mugged when a stranger comes across her being threatened by three men. Her saviour Antonio stays with here that night while she grieves and sobers up. She leaves without a word next morning.
Ten years later their paths cross again through a stolen painting. She now works with art and museums he is now deeply entrenched in the Mafia. It seems in the intervening years both Lucia and Antonio have not been walking the straight and narrow but when they do meet again, wow. Light the blue touch paper and stand back. They are a slow burn but when they do fall, they fall hard.
There is a war brewing between Mafia factions and Antonio distances himself from Lucia to keep her safe. Can she ever forgive him for breaking her heart just as it has healed from the loss of her parents.
Grab this book and find out what path these two finally decide to take. There are a number of very strong characters in this book, besides Lucia and Antonio, who I hope will make it into books of their own. This has been an amazing dive into the mafia world from Tara and I hope there will be more.
