During calls with her mother, questions beneath ordinary concern force Marina to confront safety, the past, and what “home” would demand. Between therapy work with children and private routines meant to ward off silence, Marina’s strained control sets the stage for dangerous proximity and shifting loyalties within the Sartori Syndicate.","DANTE  \nA FORCED PROXIMITY SECOND CHANCE DARK MAFIA ROMANCE  \nSARTORI SYNDICATE  \nBOOK SIX  \nSHERRY BLAKE  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © 2026 by Sherry Blake Publisher: Rosanthe Publishing All rights reserved.  \nNo part of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including electronic or mechanical methods, information storage and retrieval systems, without the prior written permission of the author, except in the case of brief quotations used in reviews or scholarly analysis.  \nThe moral right of the author has been asserted.  \nThis is a work of fiction.
