Healing a Wounded Heart this Xmas: A Dark Mafia Second Chance Novella
ByPublisher Description
A brooding mafia enforcer. A scarred heroine on the run. A second chance neither of them saw coming.
Sophia Masters has everything—glamour, success, and a job managing a chart-topping rock band. But when the holidays drag her back to her small hometown, she's forced to face the trauma she thought she left behind.
She never expected Ray Flanagan to be waiting there.
Once the boy next door, now a hardened mafia enforcer and widowed single father, Ray is cold, dangerous, and off-limits. But the moment Sophia walks back into his life, the heat between them reignites—and it's impossible to resist.
Ray has built a life in the shadows to protect his son. Sophia is the light that tempts him to dream again. But their passion could destroy everything when Ray's past catches up with them in the form of a ruthless criminal who won't stop until blood is spilled.
He's her greatest temptation. She's his only weakness.
As danger closes in and Christmas approaches, Sophia must decide: walk away—or risk everything for the man she's never stopped loving.
Perfect for fans of L.J. Shen, Rina Kent, and Sophie Lark.
This edition includes steamy extended scenes (9,000 words) and connects books 1 & 2 in the bestselling Dark Hearts of Stone series.

About Liz Gavin
USA Today bestselling author Liz Gavin’s books have made to #1 in countries as diverse as Japan, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and her home country Brazil, collecting 5 and 4-star reviews. Nominated for a Summer Indie Book Award in 2016, and again in 2017, this RWA member constantly seeks new opportunities to improve her craft.
This thirst for knowledge propelled Liz to leave the comforts of family and friends in Brazil and move to California to pursue a Master’s degree in late 2015. She lives in sunny SoCal, where she’s researching the writing process, for her thesis, in hopes to figure out why she creates in English instead of her native Portuguese.
Liz Gavin writes in contemporary, paranormal, and historical genres. In her sexy stories, one finds smart, independent women, who don’t need rescuing by knights in shining armor, but indulge in steamy action with swoony Alpha males with big hearts. She also writes about women discovering their sexuality and finding happiness in unconventional setups.
