"My kindle went dead several times reading this series. I could not stop reading!" Two years out of college, Angelica Bondesan spends her time working as a barista, keeping in touch with her prodigal brother, and trying to figure out how to bridge the gap with her father, a wealthy real estate developer. But all of that changes the night she’s kidnapped. Thrown into a windowless room, Angelica is positive there’s been some kind of mistake — until she meets Nico Vitale. Gorgeous and frightening, Nico became the boss of New York City’s Vitale crime family after the execution style murder of his parents two years earlier. Since then he’s turned the old-school mob into a sleek, modern army of ruthless men who understand that physical violence — while always an option — isn’t the only way to get what you want. Sure Nico is lying to her about her father's involvement in the criminal underworld, Angel hates Nico with a vengeance. But when it become obvious nothing is as it seems, Angel is forced to face the truth: Her father is not the man she believed him to be. Nico Vitale is dangerous, possibly lethal. She is falling in love with Nico Vitale. As Nico and Angel begin to unravel the complex entanglements between their families, a new threat emerges from an unexpected place.

Free to live in the darkness to do what I was trained to do—to kill. But one kiss was all it took to bring it all down. The one woman who hated my guts scaled the walls I built around my black heart. I know how far I’m willing to go to fight for her. But can she truly love someone who could never give her the fairytale she deserves?

Where is Kiro? He's the lost Dragusha brother, heir to a vast mafia empire-brilliant, violent, and utterly savage...and he's been missing for years. Ann I'm supposed to be doing simple undercover research at the Fancher Institute for the Mentally Ill & Dangerous, but I can't keep my mind off Patient 34.

My reporter's instincts are screaming. Here's the other thing: the staffers here believe he's so sedated that there's not a thought in his head, but I catch him watching me when nobody's looking. Our connection sizzles when I enter the room. When our eyes meet, I know he understands me in a way nobody else ever has.

Book two of NOLA Knights, the heart-stoppingly sexy spin-off series by Men of Haven author Rhenna Morgan As an avtoritet for the most powerful crime syndicate in New Orleans, Kir Vasilek doesn’t act without purpose, doesn’t speak without thought and never, ever loses his cool. The lives of his brothers, his family, depend on it. But then Cassie McClintock strolls back into his life, and staying cool is next to impossible. Cassie was the one who got away—and Kir is willing to break all his own rules to keep it from happening ever again. It’s one thing to report on the Russian mafia; it’s quite another to sleep with one of them, especially one as dangerous, and as sinfully sexy, as Kir Vasilek. Even though the information he once provided helped make her career—and the memory of his touch still keeps her up at night—Cassie knows too much about his world to go down that path. But when Kir reaches out for help after a rival family comes for one of his own, Cassie doesn’t want to say no, either to investigating a gruesome murder or to the heat that pulls her right back into his arms…and his heart. Taming Kir—and helping to save the family she’s come to call her own—is not the story she thought she’d write, but it’s the one she’s determined will get a happy ending.
