Iris Jayne is a survivor. But her past continues to haunt her… Her new life threatens to crumble with the discovery that her ex has followed her across state lines. Stranded, vulnerable, and terrified, Iris only has one man to call—a sexy stranger who had previously offered his comfort and his help. Her new employer, Dante De Salvo. Calling on Dante changes everything. For the first time in her life, she feels protected. But can she really commit to marrying a mafia man, even if he stirs her desires with every touch? Or is this deadly, powerful man exactly what she needs to find her own inner fire? Dante “the Dragon” De Salvo takes what he wants and isn’t afraid to burn down anyone or anything in his way. And from the moment he lays eyes on her, he knows Iris is meant to be his. She’s skittish, terrified of an enemy she thought she’d already escaped, and absolutely too good for him. None of that matters. Dante is determined to destroy everything that threatens her. Neither her ex, nor the up-and-coming gang trying to cut in on his turf, will come between them. He won’t just make Iris his woman. He’ll make her his fucking queen.
Felicity Garcia’s lonely, overstressed life completely changed the morning she woke up in a stranger’s bed. Her sexy kidnapper swears he took her for her own protection. Kind of a hard story to swallow, until he tells her the rest—that he works for a powerful local mafia family, and her monster of a half-brother went and spilled their blood. Now she must place her trust in this man, and find the strength to face the nightmares of her own past, if she wants to survive. Except survival isn’t the only thing she wants… Cristiano De Salvo is used to getting his hands dirty. It’s what he does. What he’s not used to is having his every thought and desire consumed by a woman more than ten years his junior, too sweet and innocent to have ever been dragged into a bloody turf war. He has been ordered to eliminate the enemy’s family, but he can’t bring himself to harm her—so he takes her instead. Now he must clear her name and destroy the enemy that is, in order to convince his family that keeping this beautiful woman is anything other than a betrayal. Because she is his, and now that he’s had her, not even the family he’s always served can pry her from his arms.
Grace Mariner, personal assistant for the CEO of DS Industries, has her life pretty well figured out. On the outside. Yet deep in her heart she knows that no amount of overtime will fill the void of loneliness waiting for her in her luxury apartment. The problem? She’s thirty-years-old, overweight, works too much, and, oh yeah, she has a horrendous crush on the company’s COO, Romeo De Salvo. Romeo De Salvo is more than a businessman. He’s the Underboss of the De Salvo mafia, and above everything, he’s a father. Letting outsiders close is not on his to-do list … with one forbidden exception. So when the earthbound angel he’s been barred from pursuing calls him in the middle of the night, begging for help, he doesn’t hesitate. He may not have been allowed to bring Grace into their world of darkness, but if that world has come to her, he’ll sure as hell be the one to catch her.
As far as Brandi Richardson was concerned, ‘family’ was a four-letter word. All hers had ever done was hurt her. So when her father sent her to work for Mikey De Salvo as a mole, she accepted the better-paying job—but not the rest. Her refusal to play his game meant she would be paying the consequence of his disappointment sooner than later. At first, she was sure that was the explanation behind her new and highly dedicated stalker … but she was wrong. When her stalker stepped up his game, leaving her bleeding and beaten on her bedroom floor, Brandi realized she had little choice but to run before he came back for round two. Mikey De Salvo was a busy man. Operating a multi-faceted security company and maintaining the digital backbone of a mafia empire was not for the weak, or the easily overwhelmed. The last thing he needed was one more distraction—even if she was as brilliant as she was beautiful. So he kept his suspicious, yet undeniably gifted employee at arm’s length and under watchful eye. When she showed up covered in bruises, visibly terrified and planning to run, he knew he couldn’t let her. So he made her a counter-offer. Marriage, and all the protection and power that came with the De Salvo name.
Special Agent Abigail Fitzgerald had two problems. Her lifetime personal vendetta against dirty cops everywhere, and the ten-month-long undercover assignment she’d been working that was about to be tossed aside. All she needed to do was identify the local organized crime network and provide tangible proof, but that was so much easier said than done. In a last-ditch effort to beat her deadline, Abigail bucked protocol and planted herself in front of one of the De Salvo’s rumored enforcers. Her informant said he was lethal, terrifying even. A few drinks in and her libido said he was perfect. He was even better naked. But that was a major problem. All she could do at that point was run with it when he insisted he’d be seeing her again. She’d wanted to create a rapport… Ryōma Satō had worked for the De Salvo family for six years. He worked hard, he’d earned his position in the family, and on the rare night off, he let himself unwind. That didn’t always mean with a woman, but he wasn’t about to complain about the rare beauty he’d found at the bar. In fact, he had every intention of keeping her around. So when she called him saying she was being followed by a suspicious figure, he knew what to do. But if he thought he hadn’t been prepared for her to hand over a photograph of the very threat the De Salvos had been searching for for months, he was even less prepared for the secret she was about to drop on him…
