"I don’t care that she’s the boss’ cousin and far beyond my reach. I’ve been patient, but now I’m claiming what’s mine.
Giovanni
One year. That’s how long I’ve wanted Francesca. I’ve worked my way up the ranks, dedicating my life to the syndicate while I tried easing her fear of men.
The time has finally come for me to claim her.
Francesca
Seven years ago, my family’s enemy took everything from me. I’ve been determined to get it all back. When those same enemies nearly kill Giovanni, our friendship changes to something more.
Until a secret emerges that could destroy everything."
"The moment I laid eyes on Penny, her innocent, submissive nature called to my dominant side. I volunteered to guide her exploration into my dark and decadent world. I'm also playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with an obsessed psychopath whose goal is to destroy me. When my worlds collide, I'm forced to call it quits between us. Soon, I discover I'm too late, and she's caught in the crossfire. Now, I'll do anything to protect the woman I'm falling for."
"Bridget Carter unknowingly tempts me with her chocolate-colored eyes, long red hair, and bold attitude. She’s awfully bossy for a sub. Which only makes the sadist inside me rumble with the need to come out and play. I bury my feelings deep, because I refuse to become a monster.
But life has a way of laughing in my face. When Bridget shows up at my office begging for help, all I can do is agree. I’ll do anything for this woman.
When danger arrives at her doorstep, the rules change, and I will do anything to protect her. Even unleash the beast."
"Pierce
The Russians have taken far too much from me. So I’ll take something of theirs. Except, I never expected my captive to be a woman. She could be the key to destroying them entirely. I’ll do whatever it takes to get revenge. Even seduce the enemy.
Soon I discover she may not be my enemy after all.
Mila
For nearly my entire life I’ve been held prisoner by darkness and pain. And just when I think freedom is within my reach, it’s stolen by yet another man determined to break me. First with rage. Then with tenderness.
I’m helpless to resist his touch, even knowing that, in the end, all that waits for me is death."
"Jacob
My father is dying, and I’ve been called back to Brooklyn to take my place as the head of the Italian syndicate. After a seven-year absence, my first test of loyalty is to marry the granddaughter of the Irish mob’s leader. I may not want a wife, but I’ll kill anyone who tries to harm her.
I only hope she doesn’t expect love in our marriage. I can’t—won’t—love her. Not ever. I don’t have it in me.
Brenna
My life has always been about duty. When my grandfather signs a marriage contract, I become a pawn in an alliance between the Irish and the Italians. Once again, I’m bound by duty.
I’ve always been invisible—the person who fades into the background—except soon my new husband begins to see me.
He’s a Brooklyn king, but will our enemies destroy my chance to become his queen?"
