When He Takes (Fallen God Duet #2) by Gabrielle Sands

Book #2 in the Fallen God Duet

Tropes: Dark Mafia Romance, Forced Proximity, Reverse Grumpy x Sunshine

I've fallen for a monster. A man who doesn't ask for what he wants—he takes. And now, he's taken me.

Rowan Miller isn’t who I thought he was. He's Nero De Luca, the ex-consigliere of a notorious New York mob family, and he's been lying to me from the moment we met.

If I return home to Darkwater Hollow, it will be a death sentence.

But staying with Nero means diving headfirst into the perilous underworld of New York—a place I’m ill-equipped to navigate.

I should despise Nero for his betrayal, and a part of me does. But as I’m drawn deeper into his world, I begin to see that not all darkness is the same.

Now, I’m caught between two worlds and two versions of a man I thought I knew. Can I trust Nero to protect me from even greater dangers?

Or is my only chance at safety escaping his iron grasp and running away?
