The End.

For now.

I’ve been waiting to write Elena’s story since I first conceived of The Evolution of Sin Trilogy when I was sixteen years old. Interesting fun fact, though Elena’s personality was apparent to me from the beginning, her career went through many iterations. First, she was a photographer then a journalist before finally becoming a lawyer. It was the perfect job for a woman who was scarred from a young age by villainy and who was driven by her insecurities to be revered by many.

Dante came later, exploding on the scene randomly while I was writing about Cosima’s mysterious past. He appeared in The Secret as a black-eyed mafioso with a bullet wound and untold swagger. He was hotly passionate, dangerously charming, and hellacious when crossed.

The perfect foil for my ice queen, Elena.

I couldn’t wait to write their story and I hope you love them as much as I do. I hesitate to call this an opposites-attract love story, because at the end of the day, Elena and Dante are very similar. They are both whip smart, ruthless when crossed, and in possession of incredibly tender hearts they protect at all costs. Simply, they were made for each other, the other’s perfect foil and other half.

Writing this story was so much fun. I did incredible amounts of research so almost everything that happens in the story is based loosely around a real mafia story or act in the past. Dennis O’Malley is loosely based on Rudy Guiliani, the heroic mafia prosecutor who went on to be a powerful and successful politician only to have his credibility questioned in later years because of his protentional connection to the mob and other shady characters. Dante’s court case is a compilation of hundreds of similar mafia trials that have taken place since the 80s, with millions of government dollars spent trying to take down an organization that is structured like a hydra, one head cut off never destroys the whole beast. I could talk for hours about how fascinating the mafia is in all its iterations and why I made the decisions in this book that I did, but at the end, all that matters is whether or not you loved their action packed story, and I very much hope you did.

Now, on to the people who make everything possible for me.

Annette, if Elena had a presence like yours in her life, she would never doubt herself again. You are my sunlight and my anchor, the positive voice in my ear whenever I doubt myself at work or need love in my personal life. You mean so much to me, I refuse to ever imagine my life without you.

Allaa, I love you endlessly. There has never been anyone I feel comfortable discussing my ideas with before I met you so many years ago and I’m so grateful for the way you let me use you as a sounding board and also give me positive feedback.

Michelle, what can I say that I haven’t
