Buttons and Deceit

I gave Crow Barsetti a piece of my mind—and I had no regrets. Now he’s the one trying to earn my approval, but it’ll never work. He put me through hell and back, almost made me lose Vanessa for good, so I don’t have to like him. Tolerate him, yes. But not like him. I try to make an effort for Vanessa, but it just blows up in my face. Sitting across from Crow at the dinner table, in the very chair where he handcuffed me and pointed a gun at my face…made me blow a fuse. All I want is Vanessa, and now that I have her, I have no obligation to her family. But Crow won’t let it go. “I don’t care about my relationship with Vanessa, Griffin. I care about my relationship with you.” He asks me to come to the winery three days a week so we can spend time together, so he can repair the relationship that he shattered. So he can be the father that I never had. Buttons and Deceit is the eleventh installment of the Beyond Buttons Series, a bestselling alpha male, dark mafia romance.
