Enduring Vendettas

My husband is dead—and the man who killed him is his rival. I thought his rival wanted my daughter. Instead, he wants me. He claims our marriage will solidify his place in our cold, dangerous world. But when he looks at me with those dark, simmering eyes, I wonder if he remembers the spark we felt years ago, before the world showed us its cruelty…He’s my only savior, and I’ll marry him for protection, not for love.

I hated him on sight—the huge, tattooed mafia soldier and nephew to the man who killed my father. Nick’s uncle destroyed my family, leaving my mother and me alone in a world with no protection…Until he’s assigned as my bodyguard. Living in a safehouse with a grumpy gangster who gets under my skin feels like a fate worse than death. But as I slowly glimpse the man beneath the gruff exterior, I realize Nick isn’t the villain I imagined. He has honor.

Being an FBI agent who informs for the mafia has taught me the line between good and evil is blurry. I help Michael Caruso because he has honor—and because sometimes justice requires bending the rules. I’ve pledged my loyalty to him, despite the fact that he once claimed the woman who haunts my dreams. Now our enemies are closing in on her, and I’ll burn the world down before I let them touch her. Even if protecting her means risking everything—including my badge.
