    About this ebook

    A story about the sacrifices we make for love...

    He's the son of a mafia foot soldier. My father is the boss. I shouldn't even know Giovanni. And I definitely shouldn't kiss him. Our relationship is doomed to fail, but that won't stop me from trying.

    I sneak out of my room every night. My father's guards don't see me. My sister doesn't see me. No one sees me, except him.

    Not every girl wants to be a princess. I just want to be free.

    ****************

    Tough Love is the prequel novella to the sexy Stripped series. Fair warning: Contains a dark hero who will do anything to keep his girl safe and an ending that will make you gasp!

    Praise for Skye Warren and the Stripped series:

    "I've always been a fan of Skye Warren ever since I read Wanderlust. Her writing is flawless and tales captivating. Love The Way You Lie is no exception. 5 Stars." - Pepper Winters, New York Times bestselling author of Tears of Tess

    "It's gritty, edgy, and sexy, served to you in the well-written, absorbing style that Skye is so talented at delivering. I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the Stripped series." - Shameless Book Club

    "It's dark, mysterious, sexy, and I loved every page of it! There were twists and turns that I never saw coming! I love when an author is able to keep me guessing until the very end of the book." - Book Fancy Book Blog

      This is a nice little prequel. I haven't read the actual book yet, but I think this helps to set the background for the type of lives these two sisters come from. And with its ending, it leaves me very intrigued to start the next book!
