Technically, they’re not a myth, because they do exist. But seeing one is like seeing a wild lion out on the streets of New York. Rare. Except when they’re making the papers.
I know something about that. I work for Vice City Times, a newspaper that reports on, and caters to, the criminal organizations of the world. And in our world, the Fausti family is considered royalty among killers, thieves, and generally anyone who usually does business in the dark.
Because they steal hearts—while they’re still beating.
Being the investigative journalist that I am, I followed the crumbs until they led me to Nazzareno “Naz” Fausti.
It was my dream to go undercover, meet them, and write an article detailing everything I discovered. I never planned to witness Naz stealing a heart right from its chest.
Mine.
My name is Ava Gerardi, aka Pepper Nash, and I’m writing my own story.
