ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 29, 2025

It was meant to be a girls’ night. No guys allowed. Until one blind kiss had me caught in the devil’s web.
A monster in Armani.
An heir to the underworld.

He upends my life, his seduction smooth even as he offers two choices: get in his car or be shoved in his trunk.
No, thanks.
But when my past comes back to haunt me, there’s only one man ruthless enough to stand between me and the threat.
The same man who makes my heart race for reasons that should probably have me medicated.
Trusting Salvatore with my life is dangerous. But resisting him? Impossible.
Because he doesn’t just want me safe.
He wants me to remain by his side. As his queen.
And he’s not willing to let anything come between us.
Not fear. Not fate. Not even death.

REVIEW:SALVATORE is the eleventh and final instalment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult HUNTING HER dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Salvatore Costa and Ivy Diaz’s storyline. SALVATORE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order. Some of the events of SALVATORE crosses over with,and runs parallel to some of the events of REMY.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ivy and Salvatore) SALVATORE follows the acrimonious and bitter relationship between our story line couple. Ivy Diaz is best friends with Remy’s girlfriend Olivia, and both Ivy and Olivia work at Olivia’s family owned funeral home but all is not as it appears to be, and not only is Ivy hiding a secret,so too is her best friend Olivia Pelosi. Struggling with her first face to face with our story line hero, a man whose reputation precedes his introduction, the death of Olivia’s father is about to set a target on our heroine’s back. Ivy is hiding, on the run, and the Costa family’s need for information is about to pull Ivy back into the world from which she ran. Knowing her life will be forfeited regardless of who takes control, our heroine is now viewed as a threat, an enemy from within.

The world building focuses on the social structure and relationships between Salvatore, Remy, Bishop, Matthew and Abri, between themselves, and their uncle Lorenzo, a man who is determined to destroy our story line heroine. The dysfunctional family dynamics is paramount to the story line premise, blood means nothing but a curse to destroy -for Ivy as well when the Cartel demands her life.

The relationship between Ivy and Salvatore is tempestuous at best. The back and forth is often angry; the vitriolic spewing of hurtful names and accusations is heart breaking- the antagonistic behavior is threatening and blinding. Ivy’s inability to trust threatens everything including her friendship with Olivia Pelosi. The $ex scenes are erotic, and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, powerful and determined secondary and supporting characters including Salvatore’s siblings: Remy and Olivia, Michael and Layla, Bishop and Abri, their mother Adena, uncle Lorenzo, and several members of the Cartel. The requisite evil has many faces.

SALVATORE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, dysfunctional family dynamics, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic and emotional; the romance is heart breaking and impassioned; the characters are desperate, dynamic and dangerous.
