Gian (Trassato Crime Family #1)(72)
He threw his hands in the air. “You’re f*cking self-destructing.”
“Yeah, well, that shit’s behind me now.” I slid the envelope toward him. “I need a favor. I need you to find Carmela Trassato and—”
His eyes narrowed. “I gotta be real honest with you. As much as I love you, I won’t trade places with you if that’s what you’re thinking. I’m way too young to acquire a ball and chain. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve seen some pictures of her, and she’s not half bad, but I don’t have a death wish. Between your dad and Dominick Trassato, I’d be a dead man walking the minute I touched her.”
I tapped the envelope. “Hand deliver this to her. I can take care of the rest.”
“Uh huh, and where will I find her? Because there’s no way in Hell I’m going to knock on the Trassatos’ door. I don’t give a shit if her old man is dead. I’m not going there.”
“You’re going to my sister’s wedding.”
“Her wedding?”
“Yeah.” I popped my knuckles. “It’s at some old mansion outside of the city. I’ll text you the address.”
“No way.” He wagged his head. “They’ll have security everywhere.”
“No one will be guarding the side entrance between 8 and 9.”
He cocked one eyebrow. “And how do you know that?”
I kept my gaze steady and my lips firm. “Because I’m that good.”
“Fine. I’ll do it, but you owe me…again.” He glanced at his phone, then scooped it up and stuffed it into the pocket of his too-tight black jeans. He looked like a stupid hipster with his tight shirt, tapered jeans, and straggly beard. “One more thing. If I end up dead, I’ll haunt your miserable ass until the day you die.”
“I wouldn’t expect anything else.” I snagged my black hoodie from the back of my chair. “And wear this so no one gets a good look at you.”

I wrote the first two chapters of this book a couple of years ago, but I couldn’t figure out what or who Gian would be until some great authors from The Mafia Book Club came up with the idea of a Mafia Anthology. Suddenly, Gian had a purpose, a life, and I couldn’t wait to get Evie and Gian out of my brain and onto the computer screen.
Along the way, I had help from some really great people:
Kat, Christine, and Chris for weeding through this book back when it was ugly and unedited.
Felicia A. Sullivan for editing this book and giving me valuable, honest opinions.
All of my relatives. I hope you aren’t offended I stole names from our family tree…Trassato, DeAngelo, Angela, Carmela, Helena, Gian, DiTonno.
Limitless Publishing for continuing to support my work.
And of course, to all the readers, bloggers, and reviewers who took the time to read this book. Your support and feedback make all the time staring at my computer screen worthwhile!
