Jordan’s Insider’s Club Social Media Links Also by Jordan Marie Melina gave me her body and ran away. She can run, but she can’t hide. I needed to lose myself in a woman. It was just supposed to be one night. She gave more than either of us bargained for. I claimed her innocence and she disappeared. She has no idea the lengths I will go to find her. I won’t allow her to get away again. I’ll track her down. Nothing will keep me from her. I don’t care what I must do. Even if I have to declare war to keep her, Melina will be mine. foreword Dear Reader, I knew when Niko began talking that I would lose myself in this series. I was right. I fell in love with Antonio and Melina. Their story was a wild ride and I enjoyed every second of trying to capture it. I have so many books in this series that have begun talking and I hope, after reading this one that you get just as excited about them. This book amped up the whole mafia theme. So I give this warning yet again: I am who I am and you should always expect triggers in my books. I deal with sadness, adult issues and I won’t shy away from that. I’ve enclosed a link to the Savage Intent Playlist on Spotify to help get you in the mood! Again, these are just songs that helped me get in touch with the characters and I hope it helps you, too! I’ve also included just the song list too.

Still, you can read the two books that started it all . Callan and Zoe Niko and Emilia melina “I won’t do it!” I snap. Panic makes my words shriller than they should be. You would think if I had learned anything in life, it would be to use caution around my father and brothers. Right now, however, I’m not thinking straight. I’m just in utter panic. I stare at all of them and wish for the millionth time I was an orphan. “Melina, you will do as I order. You are part of this family, even if, as a girl, you don’t hold much value,” he returns. His words shouldn’t hurt me after all this time. I’m twenty years old. I’ve been alone with my father and six brothers for most of my life. There’s no softness to be found in any of them. The only hugs I get are ones given for show at dinners. If I fail to smile or entertain, I pay for it later in private. I don’t know why I think any of them would listen to me now. Logically, it’s apparent they won’t. I’m not in the mood to be logical. I’m in a full-blown, adrenaline-fueled panic. “Father, please listen—” His fist slaps down on his solid mahogany desk so hard that I jump back in my seat. All too late, common sense begins to infiltrate my brain. I moisten my lips as the man who stares back at me reveals the monster that I know he is. “You listen to me. You have no useful skills. You’re nothing but a liability that spends her time with zero responsibilities. It’s time you step up and do what you need to do for this family.” “You want me to marry a man who is older than you!” “He’ll provide well for you, and it will further our reach. With this marriage, we will all but have a lock in America when it comes to shipping. That means, you will marry Doyle Kelly and that’s the end of this discussion.” He gets up, striding around his desk. I know he’s leaving. I’m also more than aware of the fact that I’m walking on thin ice that is about to break through into a raging river. I need to recede into the shadows—that’s the safest place to be when it comes to my father—but the sad fact is, I’ve never been particularly intelligent when it comes to dealing with him. Hell, the best thing I could probably do is to keep my mouth shut and marry Doyle Kelly. He can’t possibly be worse
