"The Commission has sent Azrael, their deadliest assassins, not knowing that a monster already prowls the streets of New York City. Ivan Romanov.
After years of waiting patiently in the shadows, I've finally come to claim what is mine. And that prize is Viviana Valachi, the youngest daughter of the Valachi Don. She is timid and obedient, everything her father raised her to be. But there is a fire in those Valachi eyes that is matched only by her brother, whom I hold captive.
Azrael is on the move. No place or person is safe, even those I keep in golden cages.
We must pay for the sins of our fathers—this is the one lesson we have learned in the Five Families. Angel Valachi has thrown our world into chaos, and I have inherited the duty of restoring order in the only way I know how. Sin pays for sin. Blood must pay for blood.
I didn't expect my pet to work herself into my body, mind, and soul. As much as I want to feast on the spoils and carnage of this war, I can feel the leash she is wrapping around my throat. As much as I want to fight it, I find myself captivated by her guidance.
The hunt is on, and none shall sleep for a monster is on the loose.

"She is my prize and my penance . . . my obsession and possession.
I want to shake the hand of the person who gunned down my father. He was a rotten b*stard. It's just a pity I didn't get to take his life myself. Now, with my father gone, I am the new Don of the Scarpetta family.
A don's murder requires retribution, though, and when I take my rightful place, the means presents itself.
She's small, innocent, and kept locked away by her brother Cassidy. I'm all about force and brutality, and I like to take what is mine. But even I can't just snatch the Princess from the head of the Irish mafia.
No. I must woo her out of her cage, only to trap her in one of my own. This little bird wants to fly . . . and for some reason I want to show her all the sky has to offer.
Even if it causes war between every mafia family in NYC.

"The ink isn't dry on the contract for my arranged marriage when my first and only love comes back to town.
The Pits demand five souls, turning men into monsters. I know this, as it took away my humanity when I was forced to kill my best friend. I lost not only him, but his sister and my lover—who can never discover the truth of her brother's death. I swore before I snapped his neck that I would find out who runs the Pits and bring them to their knees.
I become an Untouchable, working in the shadows with law enforcement. The punishment for such betrayal is death.
I have nothing to lose, though. Nothing, that is, until Carina comes back to town. She left as a girl and returned as a woman, rising beautiful and strong and a mafia queen in her own right. Even as I crave her touch, my secrets are choking me along with the marriage contract I just signed to another woman. But no matter how hard I try to stay away; Carina will always be the inescapable lure. The closer we get, the more danger we are in, until a hit on Carina forces my hand.
I have two choices.
Stay loyal to my family and let Carina die. Or f*ck my family's legacy and save the woman I love.

"They say she is a mafia princess. But when Evie O'Hanlon's precious feet land on Irish soil, I realize everyone is wrong. She's not a princess but a Queen.
A Queen I want to capture, play with, and then kill.
You can't have competition, no matter how pretty the package is. And the package is very f*ucking pretty—so much so that my plan to kill her weakens the closer I get. But my Queen isn't exactly innocent. She weaves her own dark and dangerous web for me, one she freely admits to.
Together, we are gasoline and flame—explosive.
When we decide that we'd rather work together than against each other, our allies turn on us, and soon every move we make is marked by danger and death. But every time they hurt us, they push us closer together. So close that we ignite and burn the world around us to the ground.
Revenge is sweet. Loving Evie is sweeter.

"A protection detail brought me to small town Lucy Falls. A murder-for-hire contract keeps me here.
I've been alone for a long time, and as an enforcer for the East Coast Irish, I'm okay with that—right up until the day I meet Emery 'Cotton' Bishop. Emery is a girl with secrets in her eyes, and attraction sparks between us from the start.
It's nothing I anticipated. It's nothing I wanted. And it's complicated by an unexpected new kill order from my boss—for Emery herself.
Why would anyone want to assassinate this woman with shadows in her eyes? Why is she so afraid? All I know is that there's no way I can kill her without learning the truth. Not while everything in me yearns to protect her, instead.
When a second assassin is dispatched to do the job I'm struggling with, I do the only thing I can think of . . . I kidnap her.
For a while, a remote cabin in the wilderness offers refuge—even if it's at the expense of both of our hearts. What will happen, though, when my kill order catches up with us, and there's nowhere left to run?

"I married my enemy's daughter. If I can't make him pay for his sins . . . she will.

After years of careful deceit and planning, my moment of revenge has finally arrived. The head of the Valachi family has died, leaving his innocent daughter vulnerable.
She is forced to take my hand in an arranged marriage. By the time she learns my true identity, it will be too late.
As her new husband, I will have complete control over her. I am the enemy in her bed.
Her naive happily ever after will become a nightmare as I use her to seize power and enact my final revenge.

"Small town secrets and missing women have led me to a surprising love, but a monster in the shadows threatens our future happiness.
Since my return to sleepy Lucy Falls, circumstances have been hurtling me toward a conclusion I'm afraid to reach.
When I misstep and let my brother's best friend get too close, a stalker leaves my reputation in shreds, my future in shambles, and the man I'm falling for in a crush of metal at the bottom of a cliff.
And he's nowhere near finished.
Now with every chilling message I receive, and more women gone missing, I can't help but wonder whether the only way to save them . . . the only way to win this twisted game of obsession . . . is to lose and become his next victim myself.

In a single soul-destroying moment, I discover my husband has an entire other family.
