About the book: 2023 / *Alessandro* For eight long years I waited patiently and plotted revenge. Now I have found him and I will make him pay. He hired me to guard his wife, ensure her safety. And I will kill the woman I am supposed to protect. He will suffer just like me, and when I am done with him, he will beg for mercy. I will give him no mercy. *Ravenna* Hatred burns in his eyes, they are black as the abyss. He watches my every step and sees everything. I cannot hide from his silent gaze or hide the bruises on my body. All traces are the embodiment of burnt dreams. I also cannot deny the longing for a man who will never be mine. Scorched Dreams is a novel with explicit sex scenes and a guaranteed happy ending. It is the seventh book in the Perfect Imperfection series of mafia novels. Each book in the series focuses on a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order. For my readers who wanted to read Az's story (and asked for the "reunion" scene with Sergei to be included). I hope you enjoy it. Please note that this book contains disturbing material: - mention of the death of a spouse - domestic violence and abuse - graphic descriptions of violence and torture, and blood.
