Publisher Description
Gabriela
Stefan Sabbioni showed up uninvited in my bedroom on my sixteenth birthday. He stood in the shadows smelling of whiskey and death and wrapped a broken, blood-crusted necklace around my neck. I thought he’d strangle me with it.
That night, he left a message for my father. He said he’d be back to take something precious.
I never delivered that message, though. I wonder if things would be different if I had because now, two years later, he’s back. And he’s not hiding in any shadows.
He’s come to make good on his promise.
He’s back to take that something precious.
Me.
Stefan
Marchese is the manipulator of my family’s tragedy. I won’t just bring him to his knees. I’ll bury him for what he did.
Taking his daughter is only the beginning. I’ll do it knowing I’m starting a war. I’ll do it knowing my enemies will become his allies. They’ll stop at nothing to destroy me and he’ll stop at nothing to get her back.
I’ve never shied away from war, though. I’m not one to play nice and I don’t share my toys. I’ll demolish you if you touch what’s mine.
And she is most definitely mine.

Extremely entertaining!
An amazing story, I just devoured it!
This is a fighting mafia family’s story. The King Pin from one family, Stefan Sabbioni is out for revenge on Gabriel Marchese, a rival family who had done him wrong. And his daughter Gabriela becomes the pawn as Stefan takes her as payment to wed.
A thrilling story, it’s a slow progress to a very intense relationship.
I loved it and can’t wait for more!!!!
Great Dark Romance!
This is the first book in the Collateral Damage Duet. This dark romance, and mafia romance, is well written, and captivating. Stefan and Gabriela are great characters. Stefan is a powerful man, mysterious, possessive, and protective. Gabriela is a strong young woman, a little naive. The secondary characters are intriguing and great. The story is fast-paced, action packed, and filled with intrigue, mystery, twists and turns, and danger. Impossible to put it down. The story ends with a big cliffhanger. Now, I can't wait for the next and last book, Damage.
INCREDIBLE, EMOTIONAL and GUT-WRENCHING Story!!!
Natasha Knight has, once again, delivered an INCREDIBLE, EMOTIONAL and GUT-WRENCHING story of betrayal, loss, pain and HOPEFULLY a love story that will mend my shattered heart!!! Stefan and Gabriela have such incredible chemistry, like off-the-charts kind of chemistry...even IF this "arraigned" marriage (more like Stefan is trying to destroy Gabriela's father, Gabriel) is the LAST thing that Gabriela wants she still feels the magnetic pull to Stefan, who holds her future (and her heart?) in his hands.
I fell soooooo hard and soooooo fast for the ALpha and swoon-inducing Stefan and Gabriela is so perfectly feisty and somehow innocent, despite growing up with a cold-hearted and despicable father...she captured my heart and my imagination! I feel like there is so much MORE to this story that has yet to be told!
I devoured this first book in this duet and I can't WAIT to see what happens in the conclusion!!! Thankfully it won't be a long wait because Damage will be here in a few short weeks! Will Stefan and Gabriela overcome the legacy of murder, death and destruction that is their birthright and find their HEA? Stay tuned to find out!!!
