A Legacy Novel
A wild boy.
A sly girl.
Cross Donati defines trouble. He does what he wants because heās never known anything different. Heās unapologetic, and he owns it.
Catherine Marcello is every bit a good girl ā¦ on the outside. Her entire world is a legacy, and she lives it. Sheās curious, and sheās exploring it.
She chases bad things.
He never learned to be good.
Theyāre late nights, stolen cars, first times, fist fights, leather jackets, beaches, bloody smiles, and life.
Theyāre vicious and precious, dangerous and harmless, innocence and sin. They are love.
Love is killing for someone.
Love is living for someone.
Sometimes, you canāt keep saving your heart when it means sacrificing it, too.
Sometimes, you have to learn to save yourself.
Sometimes, love has to fall, crash, and burn.
This is what love is like when youāre a principe and principessa della mafia.
This is what love is like when youāre Cross Donati and Catherine Marcello.

EXCERPT
ALWAYS, A Legacy Novel (Cross + Catherine, #1) by Bethany-Kris
Catherine giggled. Her amusement faded fast. Like the second Hugh grabbed her arm in a tight grip, and stopped her from walking further.
āLast name?ā he asked again.
She tugged her arm to free it from his grasp, but he didnāt let go. She looked down at his hand pointedly. āThatās a no.ā
āShit, whatās your problem? Iām just asking who the hellāā
āLet me go,ā Catherine said.
She was polite.
It was the only warning he was going to get.
āTell me your name, then.ā
āThis isnāt a tit for tat,ā Catherine replied. āI said no, and that meansāā
Catherine didnāt even see the fist coming before it smashed into Hughās face. Hugh let go of Catherineās arm with a holler, and she almost tripped over her gladiator-style sandals in an effort to jump back.
āMeans fucking no,ā the guy Catherine had been admiring earlier said, as he stood over a now bleeding Hugh. āCoach said to move your ass, so move, Hugh. Stop bothering girlsādidnāt you get enough of that shit last year?ā
āDonati!ā someone yelled from the field.
āJesus Christ, Cross,ā Liliana muttered.
āPrick!ā
That was all Hugh got out before he kicked out a leg and dropped Cross to the ground. In full football gear, but for the helmets, the two boys started laying into one another. Each fist smacking into a body or gear made Catherine cringe. She was pretty sure someone was bleeding, too, in between cursing and name calling. The players and coaches on the field started heading their way fast.
āOkay, time to go,ā Liliana said, making sure to tug Catherine along.
She kept up with her cousin easily enough.
First day, and already starting fights.
Yeah, she really missed her old school.
āDonati did you a favor there,ā Liliana said as they came closer to the school.
āWho?ā Catherine asked, peering back over her shoulder.
āDonati. Cross Donati.ā
That surname seemed familiar to Catherine, but she couldnāt quite pull out why.
āHugh is a creep,ā Liliana said, oblivious to Catherineās confusion. āHe doesnāt understand the word no, and if you ask the right girls, theyāll all tell you not to leave a drink unattended when heās around. Seriously, Cross did you a favor.ā
She couldnāt help but look back over her shoulder.
Catherine found a pair of dark eyes looking in her direction before they locked onto hers.
Cross.
Cross Donati.
His fist crashed down into Hughās bloody face one more time before the coach reached the fighting boys, and pulled them apart. He was still staring after Catherine, though.
Cross smiled at her, then, showing off white teeth stained red by his bloody mouth. He didnāt seem a bit bothered by it, really. She smiled back.
Catherine thought, years from then, when people asked ā¦
She would say that was when she fell in love with Cross.
Black hair.
Dark eyes.
Bruised knuckles.
Bloody mouth.
All the while, he smiled at her.
And she smiled back.
That was when she fell in love with Cross Donati.
Even if she hadnāt known it then.
