Narrated by: Scott Merriman

When your mob families are at war, what are the risks of giving love a shot?

In this explosive short story, international bestselling author Jeffery Deaver brings readers a classic tale of star-crossed lovers who defy the boundaries of enemy territory. When an underworld kingpin gets taken out, his prime turf is up for grabs. For Irish crime lord Brendon Nagle and archrival John Yung, head of a forty-man tong, it’s war. For Nagle’s son, Andrew, and Yung’s daughter, Loi, it’s love at first sight. But others are watching as their secret love unfolds. Surveilled, suspected of betrayal, and targets of their fathers’ ruthless greed, Andrew and Loi know this story well. They’re doomed. But they have plans of their own. Challenging the violent rules of the mob, they’re rushing headlong toward a fate that few can see coming.

Twisted Deception

I am a huuuge fan of Mr. Deaver and he constantly shows that he is the man and knows romance with thrilling suspense.

And kudos to the shorts on Audible!!!!!!

Fantastic ending

Great short story. Really needs to be a part two and maybe three, in short story form.

Verona

I truly enjoyed this book. It leads to quite an ending. In most cases the narrator did a great job

The narrator took up the task.

Verona is a straight shooting fiction piece. It gives out a discussion of the present.

Maybe the best of Jeffery Deavers Short Stories se

Verona, the latest of Jeffery Deaver’s short stories series that I’ve listened to is a very entertaining tale. A modern version of Romeo and Juliet told through a mob setting with plenty of twists and turns that I never saw coming. So far of the Jeffery Deaver Short Stories series I’d say Verona is tied for being my favorite. Scott Merriman’s narration takes this story to “the next level.” His character voices and pacing kept me fully entertained from the opening line all the way to the final word.
