Famiglia Series by Andréa Joy, A.J. Daniels

Klara Everyone always says love will find you when you’re not looking. Well, they’re not wrong. Except, the man my heart stupidly fell for was more interested in playing his own twisted game of catch and release. Claiming me for himself, then pushing me away when I got too close, but there was an aura of darkness clouded around him. A darkness that beckoned to me... moreKlara Everyone always says love will find you when you’re not looking. Well, they’re not wrong. Except, the man my heart stupidly fell for was more interested in playing his own twisted game of catch and release. Claiming me for himself, then pushing me away when I got too close, but there was an aura of darkness clouded around him. A darkness that beckoned to me. A darkness I was grateful for when those he thought he could trust ripped me away in the middle of the night to be a pawn in their own sick, twisted game. Braxton She was supposed to be an itch I needed to scratch. That red dress and those pale blue eyes called to me like a siren. In my line of work falling in love is dangerous. “I believe there’s good in you, Brax,” she had said. “Baby, I’m the thing monsters are afraid of,” I warned her. I pushed her away, thinking she would be safe from this fucked up life I lead. I couldn’t’ve been more wrong. My enemies smelled fresh blood. They knew if they wanted to take me down, they had to get to her. But it wasn’t my enemies I had to worry about. No, the threat was a lot closer than I thought. It shouldn’t have surprised me. After all, the devil was once an angel. Klara was my light out of this hell, and now she was in danger of being snuffed out. But not if I could help it. They should’ve thought twice before taking what belongs to me. Now, I’m out for blood, and I’m not stopping until my concrete floor runs red. *Only suitable for 18+ less

ANTONIO I’ve always been the dutiful best friend to Braxton De Luca, the Don of the Italian Mafia. But being associated with the Famiglia comes with certain… understandings. I’ve been hiding, never acting on my deepest desires for fear that once the Famiglia find out my secret, it’ll be my blood being spilled next. But when the chance to get away for a couple of weeks presents itself, I jump on it, figuring time spent on the beach soaking up some rays is exactly what I need to recharge... moreANTONIO I’ve always been the dutiful best friend to Braxton De Luca, the Don of the Italian Mafia. But being associated with the Famiglia comes with certain… understandings. I’ve been hiding, never acting on my deepest desires for fear that once the Famiglia find out my secret, it’ll be my blood being spilled next. But when the chance to get away for a couple of weeks presents itself, I jump on it, figuring time spent on the beach soaking up some rays is exactly what I need to recharge. That is until a chance encounter with a stranger my first day in Caye Caulker, Belize, threatens twenty years of buried secrets. Will I finally admit to myself and the Famiglia what I want? How will the Famiglia react when their illusion of me is shattered? KAI Falling in love again was never part of the plan, and certainly not with someone who was supposed to be a vacation fling. Definitely not with someone who turns out to be my new boss. But the more he pulls me in, the more I find myself falling for him. Our love is forbidden by those he calls family, but neither one of us can stop whatever is growing between us. He has secrets, but so do I. He hides from those he holds dear. I hide from a nightmare. less

Mason Dying is easy. Living is hard. For eight years I’ve been teetering on the brink. Wondering when it would be my turn to finally leave this place and be reunited with the love of my life. I wasn’t looking to replace the kind of love Emily and I had. Never intended for it to find me either. Especially with someone so much younger, but something about her calls to me like a siren in the night... moreMason Dying is easy. Living is hard. For eight years I’ve been teetering on the brink.
