A Crown of Thorns: Dark Mafia Romance

CAMILA

There is a photograph in that house of a woman of twenty standing in the kitchen I work in, wearing the apron I wear, with my face and my hands.

Nobody has ever said her name at that table.

So now I know why they hired me. I just don't know what for.

An old woman went and got me on purpose. A man made a list in February with four names on it and mine was one of them. Every kind thing that has happened to me in this house was put there by somebody, and I have been so grateful, and I cannot stop taking it apart.

He swears he didn't know.

He is the only thing in my life that nobody arranged.

And I am the only one who can pay for him.

I gave up a marriage in May and put my own name on a debt with no end on it, and I would do it again tomorrow.

What I did not do was ask my wife first.

She has one rule and it is four words long and I have broken it twice now, and I am going to break it again, and I know exactly what it costs her because she has told me in three kitchens.

My brother owes nine thousand dollars. My grandmother has stopped coming down at five. And there is a man in Dyker Heights who holds every door he has ever walked through and who is the most dangerous person I have ever met.

He is not going to threaten her. He is going to ask her.

And she is going to say yes.

This is the second book in The Thorns We Wear Series. Reading order:

A Throne of Thorns.

A Crown of Thorns.

An Empire of Thorns.
