The Mob sent him to kill me, but he owed me a debt... Years ago I saved his life, and we spent one hot night together before he disappeared. Now this bad boy's all grown up, and living a dangerous life. But when his Family decides to send a message to my father, it's my life on the line. Only he can't bring himself to do it when he realizes who I am. He bargains for my life. He argues to keep me as a hostage instead of killing me. He even agrees to marry me, but not for love. Marrying me is the only way he can repay his debt to me. He tells me he'll keep me alive only as long as his Boss allows it. What he doesn't know is that I've loved him since the first moment I laid eyes on him. I'll take him any way I can get him. Sleeping with the enemy never felt so good... But is there someone else who wants me dead?

Married to the Mobster

Bound by Him

Benjamin Ballard always assumed he was straight – in every way possible. They invented the term ‘vanilla’ to describe him. But if Ben’s so straight, why can’t he get his inscrutable coffee-shop co-worker and wannabe actor Xander Romano out of his head? And how come Xander’s rough-housing on the basketball court gets Ben so flustered? Xander Romano keeps his private life private, and lives by a strict set of rules. No fooling around with straight guys, and definitely no fooling around with vanilla guys. Been there, done that, got his heart broken. All Xander wants now is to focus on his acting career, and keep his darker desires under wraps. So what is it about Benjamin Ballard that makes Xander want to break all the rules? When Ben begs for a chance to experiment, Xander can’t resist taking him in hand. It’s just one quick session, after all. But Ben has other ideas… *** Learn the Rules is the first book in the Rough Love series. Join Ben and Xander in their continuing odyssey of self-discovery, experimentation, and steamy fun as they work out the kinks together. This is just the beginning of their wild - and sometimes dark - ride, but never fear: these two will get their HEA. It'll just take them some time to figure out what that happy ending looks like for them... Note: Rough Love can be rough. Please proceed with caution if you have any triggers.

Learn the Rules

It's good to be the Boss. That's what I thought my whole life. Now I am the Boss. I'll shoulder that responsibility with my beloved husband beside me. As long as I have Finch, I can handle whatever life throws at me. But what they say is true: Be careful what you wish for. My Family has been decimated. My allies are few. I'm holding onto power by a thread. And the truth is, my husband is more vulnerable than ever. He's always been a lost soul, and now he's suffered yet another crushing loss. I can't protect him from Fate's cruel blows. But I'm determined to protect him from our enemies, no matter what it takes--as soon as I get my own house in order. Because I'm starting to wonder if there's a traitor in the Morelli Family... If I can't even trust my own men, how can I keep my beloved safe? Beloved by the Boss is the sequel to Married to the Mobster, and is the second book in the Morelli Family Mafia Romance series.

Beloved by the Boss

TWO MEN. TWO FAMILIES. TOO MANY SECRETS.
When Castellani security specialist Max Pedretti is reluctantly loaned out to the Esposito Family, he's thrust into close quarters with their youngest Capo, Bricker Soldano. The magnetic pull between them is undeniable, but Bricker is strictly off-limits, for multiple reasons.

For one thing, he's an Esposito.

For another, he's half Max's age.

But most of all, because Max shares a hidden criminal history with Bricker's father—a secret that could shatter the tentative trust building between them.

So Max vows to focus on the job instead, and finds his old skills as a bank robber are put to the test as he works with Bricker and his crew on a heist that could change the power dynamics in Los Angeles.

But when a tragedy reveals a mole in their midst, Max and Bricker must investigate together to uncover the truth, blurring the lines of loyalty and desire.

Can Max and Bricker uncover the traitor and find their way to love, or will past sins cost them everything?

***

Each book in this series tells the love story of a different couple who find their happy ending, as well as a resolution to the mystery they're investigating, but there are cliffhangers to the wider suspense plot for the series.

His Sinful Need

EASILY BORED, COMPLETELY MANIPULATIVE, AND UTTERLY DEADLY…AND THAT’S JUST IN BED.
As an assassin for the Castellani Family, I live for the thrill of the job.
I'm devoted to my Family and my Don, because they keep me safe.

To Leo Bernardi, I'm a monster.
A killing machine.
And a puppet that his Family can use for their own ends.

To me, Leo Bernardi is a pawn.
A means to an end.
And if I have a little fun with him along the way, who cares?

Leo thinks he can seduce me. Tame me. Use me.
In this game of cat and mouse, the Bernardi Lion is about to get a big surprise.

But the more entangled we become, the more I start to feel…

Things I didn’t think I was capable of feeling.

Things I’ve never wanted to feel.

In my line of work, love is a fatal flaw. But the more time we spend together, the harder I fall.

Leo Bernardi is my greatest enemy…
Could he also be my only love?

His Fatal Love

THE ULTIMATE FORBIDDEN LOVE: A MAFIA BOSS AND HIS CAPTIVE.

Until I saw him.

Unfortunately, he happens to be the sole witness to my latest crime.
That should mean one thing.
Elimination.

But one look into those pleading blue eyes, and I lost myself.

I let a beauty live…
But - beast that I am - I’ve locked him away.

Little by little, he charms his way out of his cell and into my bed, until I begin to wonder which of us is the real prisoner.

After all, I’m the one trapped by my own brutal heart.

And that oh-so-innocent beauty I took and kept?

He has secrets of his own.

Secrets that could destroy me.

When Castellani Family hitman Jack is ordered to find a missing Hollywood starlet, the last thing he expects is for his only lead to be the out-of-his-league guy who spent last night flirting with him.

Miller Beaumont is gorgeous, charming and looks at Jack like he’s the only person in the room. Jack was captivated from the moment their eyes met.

But Jack’s not built for love. Not after the sins he’s committed.

Yet as Jack works with Miller to find his sister, they get closer. And the closer they become, the more Jack drowns in Miller's light—even as shadows gather to tear them apart.

Loving Miller could be Jack’s chance for salvation...or the final nail in his coffin. Jack knows the cost of failure, but for Miller, he’s ready to risk it all.

But as danger closes in, will their love become a lethal mistake?
