It Will Always Be You
by Shannon Jade
Jonathan
As the heir to the Four Points, control has always been my weapon and my shield. Enemies are everywhere, and weakness is a luxury I can’t afford. But then she came into my world.
She was an obsession I never saw coming—dangerous, intoxicating, and impossible to ignore. The worst possible timing… yet I was already in too deep.
My existence had always been dictated by legacy, duty, the cold weight of blood and power. But in an instant, she shattered all of it. She consumed me in ways I can’t explain. A force I couldn’t fight.
I never saw the darkness lurking in the shadows, not until it was too late—until they took her.
Now, I’ll burn everything down to bring her back—and protect the empire that’s mine to claim.
Helen
For years, I lived in the shadows, the perfect mafia daughter—silent, obedient, unseen. But the moment they threatened my sister, that life was gone in a heartbeat. I vanished into the darkness, becoming someone else, someone who could survive. Until a job brought me right back into this hellish world—and into his orbit.
My new boss was a storm of darkness and desire. Cold, ruthless, and impossible to escape. Every glance from him pulled me closer to the edge. Every word dragged me deeper into his dark and dangerous world.
He didn’t understand the word no, and I could feel the walls I had spent years building slowly crumbling.
For so long, I’d sacrificed everything. And just when I thought I might finally have a taste of happiness, it was ripped from me—brutally, violently.
Now, I’ll make them pay. For everything.
And maybe… maybe I’ll let myself believe there’s still something worth fighting for. Something worth saving — even if it’s just the pieces of us we left behind.
It Will Always Be You is the third book in the Four Points Mafia series. Each book is a standalone with its own HEA, but you’ll enjoy a richer experience reading them in order.
This spicy dark mafia romance features a second chance, office romance, and forced proximity. It contains scenes of violence and explicit sexual content.

Shannon Jade's It Will Always Be You is a gripping addition to the Four Points Mafia series, a dark romance that intertwines themes of power, obsession, and redemption. As the third installment in the series, it stands on its own with a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of love and loyalty within the dangerous confines of a mafia world.
The story is told through the dual perspectives of Jonathan and Helen, each bringing a unique voice and depth to the narrative. Jonathan, the heir to the Four Points, is a character defined by his need for control and the burdens of legacy. His life is a constant battle against enemies lurking in every shadow, making vulnerability a luxury he cannot afford. Yet, the arrival of Helen disrupts his meticulously ordered world. She is an unexpected obsession, a force that challenges his rigid existence. Jonathan's character arc is one of transformation, as he grapples with the intoxicating pull of love and the realization that his empire is not the only thing worth fighting for.
Helen, on the other hand, is a character forged in the fires of survival. As the perfect mafia daughter, she has lived a life of silence and obedience, but the threat to her sister propels her into a new existence. Her journey is one of empowerment, as she sheds her old identity and embraces a new, more resilient self. Her relationship with Jonathan is fraught with tension and desire, a dance of power and vulnerability that is both captivating and dangerous. Helen's narrative is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, as she fights not only for her own survival but for the possibility of happiness in a world that seems determined to deny it.
The chemistry between Jonathan and Helen is electric, a testament to Jade's skill in crafting complex, multi-dimensional characters. Their relationship is a blend of second chances and forbidden desire, set against the backdrop of an office romance that is as thrilling as it is perilous. The forced proximity trope is executed with finesse, creating a tension that is palpable and engaging. As their walls begin to crumble, the reader is drawn into a world where love is both a weapon and a refuge.
Jade's writing is both evocative and immersive, painting a vivid picture of the dark, dangerous world of the mafia. The narrative is rich with scenes of violence and explicit sexual content, elements that are integral to the story's exploration of power dynamics and the complexities of desire. The pacing is relentless, driving the story forward with a sense of urgency that mirrors the characters' own desperation and determination.
One of the standout aspects of It Will Always Be You is its exploration of themes such as legacy, duty, and the cost of power. Jonathan's struggle with the weight of his family's expectations is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices that come with leadership, while Helen's journey highlights the resilience required to break free from the chains of the past. The story is a meditation on the nature of love and the lengths to which we will go to protect those we care about, even when it means confronting our own darkness.
In comparison to other dark mafia romances, such as Cora Reilly's Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles or Tillie Cole's Scarred Souls series, Jade's work stands out for its nuanced character development and the emotional depth of its narrative. While it shares common tropes with these works, such as the allure of forbidden love and the tension of power struggles, It Will Always Be You offers a fresh perspective through its focus on personal transformation and redemption.
Overall, It Will Always Be You is a captivating read that will appeal to fans of dark romance and mafia fiction. Its blend of intense emotion, high-stakes drama, and complex characters make it a standout entry in the genre. Shannon Jade has crafted a story that is both thrilling and thought-provoking, a testament to the enduring power of love in the face of adversity. For those seeking a romance that challenges and captivates, this book is a must-read.
