The Kiss Thief

<p>They say your first kiss should be earned.<br /><br />Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky.<br /><br />They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred.<br /><br />Mine were broken before we left church.<br /><br />They say your heart only beats for one man.<br /><br />Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end.<br /><br />I was promised to Angelo Bandini the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit.<br /><br />Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton who held my father’s sins over his head to force me into marriage.  <br /><br />They say that all great love stories have a happy ending.<br /><br />I Francesca Rossi found myself erasing and rewriting mine until the very last chapter.<br /><br />One kiss.<br />Two men.<br />Three lives.<br />Entwined together.<br /><br />And somewhere between these two men I had to find my forever.</p>
