Title: Irreparable Damage (Irreparable, #1)
Author: Sam Mariano
Genre: Dark romance
Release date: October 27, 2014
Despite being the
illegitimate daughter of a Chicago Mafioso, Willow Kensington hasn’t
exactly lived the life of a gangster’s progeny—she hardly ever speaks to
her father. Instead, she leads a nice, quiet existence at home with her
family, surrounded by friends and a steady boyfriend. Her biggest
problem is having to pick which college to attend.
Until the day after her 18th birthday, when Willow is abducted by a group of sex-traffickers.
Private investigator Ethan Wilde has too many responsibilities to put his life on the line for a paycheck, but when his latest job has him infiltrating a sex-trafficking ring to rescue a missing girl, he ends up doing just that. Before he can safely extract himself from the violent band of criminals, his loyalties are put to the test, and Ethan ends up getting in much deeper than he ever intended.
Despite the heinous acts he’s witnessed and partaken in, Ethan knows their only means of escape is playing out his original scenario—even if a pair of accusing gray eyes might be haunting him for the rest of his life. Even if he’s not so sure he’s one of the good guys anymore. Even if she makes sure everyone knows he isn’t.
Her salvation could be his downfall.
He’s determined to save her anyway.
**This is a DARK ROMANCE, intended for readers 18+ due to possible triggers and mature/sensitive themes and content. Please see sample for details.**

Sam Mariano has been writing
stories since before she could actually write (she just used Barbies back then).
She lives in Ohio and has a wonderful daughter and a super supportive, Star
Wars-obsessed fiancé.
Her earlier books are Because of
You (#1), a coming-of-age story about the power of first love, and Beautiful
Mistakes (standalone), a contemporary romance about a Chicago nanny who makes
some mistakes, but manages to find her way…maybe! You’ll have to read it to
find out.
Find Sam on her blog, Facebook, Goodreads, or
Twitter, though her computer hates Twitter, so she isn’t on there too often.
She loves to hear from readers!
Thank you! :-)
