Distilled Duplicity

Naithon Adranokov is forced at a young age into the mobster life by his father. When his father deceives him and kicks him out, Naithon joins a violent street gang then ends up in prison. After another family betrayal and a terrible incident that cripples him, Naithon becomes the most dangerous man in town and ruthlessly builds his own empire. There is only one thing that truly draws the interest of the cold, cruel man Naithon has become, Kiri Delducci. He's only caught sight of her briefly over the years because her father hid her away in a private girls' school in Italy to keep her out of her brother Duce's perverted clutches. Naithon grows more and more enamored with Kiri each time he lays eyes on the stunning young woman. He decides he will trick her father, and wrest Kiri from the prearranged marriage to a much older and sadistic husband, and keep her captive for himself. He sheds his deepest secret and takes her. Kiri has artistic talents she planned to make a career of when her father drags her home from her university and puts her to work in his rum distillery until her dreaded nuptials. She loathes and fears her future husband whom her father is coercing her to marry. But, she is even more terrified of Naithon Adranokov. Nevertheless, Naithon has laid claim to her and refuses to let her go. Someone is killing the Delducci and Adranokov people, placing blame on each other for the murders. Someone is instigating a war between the two factions as well as neatly eliminating them. When the killer comes after Kiri, Naithon goes after him with guns blazing. Naithon wants a happily ever after with Kiri. Will he save Kiri from the vile monster who snatches her for his own sick compulsions before it's too late?
