    Soundtrack to The Kings of Italy: Mafia Target by Mila Finelli

    Danger by Etro Anime for a book about a hard-won union between two dangerous men out to kill each other, a secret that threatened to tear them apart, and a single-minded determination that brought them together again and again.

    Things have gone wrong
    They do more often than they don’t
    I was a child before
    A soldier in defense
    I’ll take the leap

    I’ve gone so far for lesser gold
    I wanna know this life
    By your side
    I don’t wanna try to fight this love
    How dangerous can it be
    I know the odds are so unfavorable
    And honesty’s forsakable
    So many run for safety
    Run from the

    Try to knock me down, I’ll scorch the ground
    The smoke will be my proof

    You thought you stole

    Whenever I look in your eyes
    It’s strange, but I don’t see us saying goodbye
    So I’ll let you move in closer
    I want you too, I know there’s danger
    But I want your love to be mine

    I don’t care about what he said she said
    I don’t care who’s going out with you
    I don’t care what you did last weekend
    I don’t care what they pretend to do

    Let’s go back…
    Together, but a little off track
    A moment’s always gone too fast
    Dancing undercover
    Middle of summer
    Like when you were younger

    I need a friend
    Oh, it’s nice to spend time with you

    Puzzle Pieces by Tiger Trap for a book about a clueless detective who realized his biggest rival is the missing piece in his life.

    One, two, three, four

    Nothing fits, forget the rest
    ‘Cause I know you fit me the best
    How was I to have even known
    When I first heard you on the phone
    That you would be my perfect fit
    I don’t know what to do with it
    ‘Cause your piece goes with mine alone
    Now I know where corners go

    …When I saw you standing there
    I didn’t know you’d ever care
    I didn’t know we’d talk at night
    I didn’t know you’d hold me tight

    Bless your calloused heart
    But I live to beg your pardon
    Flash that tired smile
    And lay me in your devil’s garden

    Feel a little sunshine
    In spite of your past lives
    And if it feels right

    Before You Came by Autoheart for a book about two wounded disparate souls who discover they can help each other heal.

    A white light continues
    To shine bright within you
    If I could, then I would
    Do anything to make good

    …

    On the day before you came
    Every view I ever saw was never good enough
    There was little in my life that I was proud of

    Did you know before you came?
    I was selfish, I was horrible most of the time
    I was thinking of myself, ignoring all the signs

    On the day before you came
    My priorities were muddled and I didn’t care
    I didn’t care

    Finding out
    That there’s no escaping
    This pain I found
    Is a war that’s raging

    Will you turn it around
    Cause I need saving
    Do you hear the sound
    Of a heart that’s aching

    Here I stand
    I surrender it all

    Run wild in my soul
    With love
