Resensi Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck

The sweat dripping from her body crammed my nose and her earthy smell almost smothered me to my seat. I longed to touch her, to feel her skin, to know the secrets that lay within. I had never perceived her type of pheromones in my entire life. It was fresh, raw, and natural, and had a different kind of flavor. I could almost taste it on my lips. But she held a wolfsbane dagger ready to poison and slay me. I didn't even know her, or what pack she was from.

Yo solo era una estudiante que no podía pagar la colegiatura. Durante cinco años, también fui la amante secreta del jefe de la mafia Dante Costello. Públicamente, era su restauradora de arte personal. En privado, pasaba las noches haciéndome suya, abrazándome fuerte y besándome hasta dejarme sin aliento. Entonces su familia arregló su compromiso. Con Isabella Rossi. Una princesa de una familia rival. En su fiesta de compromiso, Isabella me clavó un fragmento de cristal roto en el dorso de la mano. Me obligó a disculparme. Con ella. Por haber hecho una escena. Conteniendo las lágrimas, incliné la cabeza ante Isabella. Cuando ella perdió una apuesta y tuvo que jugar a la ruleta rusa; una bala, seis recámaras, él me obligó a tomar su lugar. Me temblaba la mano mientras me apuntaba con la pistola a la cabeza. —Una vez me salvaste la vida —le dije—. Ahora te la devuelvo. En el momento en que desaparecí de su mundo, el despiadado jefe de la mafia que lo tenía todo bajo control... perdió la cabeza.
