He's known by many names, but he expects me to call him Master. As the future DiFiore don, I should know more than anyone that we're not the good guys, but when I catch an even more depraved man about to prey on an innocent woman, I lose sight of that just long enough to make the biggest mistake of my life.

As the future DiFiore don, I should know more than anyone that we're not the good guys, but when I catch an even more depraved man about to prey on an innocent woman, I lose sight of that just long enough to make the biggest mistake of my life. The guy whose life I snuffed out happens to have been the district attorney's son. I'm suspect number one, and I'm guilty as sin. It stands to reason the only one who can save me is the devil himself. His code name is Echo, but they call him the Ghost, and he's the most notorious fixer in the business. The morally apathetic psychopath who's willing to cover up any crime, no matter how heinous, as long as you're willing to pay the price. Money is one thing, but one look in those gunmetal eyes and I'm pretty sure this guy wants more than that. He wants me, and I'm way too inclined to give it to him--body, mind, and soul. I'm no stranger to the dark side, but he lives in places even the shadows are too afraid to touch. We're as wrong as two people can be for each other, but when he touches me, I feel it--the embers of the darkness he's awakened within me stirring. Calling. What happens when the man who is contracted to fix everything is the man who's destined to break me? Author's Note: This is an intense, high-heat, high-angst standalone MM Mafia Romance brimming with violence and mayhem. Lorenzo and Echo are corrupt men, and their love story is not for the faint of heart. less

VALENTINE. I'm locked in a gilded cage, and the devil holds the key. Malcolm Whitlock, the city's most corrupt official. The man they call Devil, because when you make a deal with him, you're guaranteed to lose. Your wealth. Your life. Maybe even your soul. And this respectable psychopath (his words, not mine) is the man I call brother-in-law. Because I'm just that particular brand of unlucky... moreVALENTINE. I'm locked in a gilded cage, and the devil holds the key. Malcolm Whitlock, the city's most corrupt official. The man they call Devil, because when you make a deal with him, you're guaranteed to lose. Your wealth. Your life. Maybe even your soul. And this respectable psychopath (his words, not mine) is the man I call brother-in-law. Because I'm just that particular brand of unlucky. When a demon from Malcolm's past gets my best friend murdered, revenge is the force that draws us together. Obsession is the force that pulls me under his absolute control. See, once you're in the devil's clutches, there's no turning back. And the most twisted part? I'm losing sight of why I wanted to in the first place. -. MALCOLM. He's the one thing that's ever been off limits to me. That's why I'll tear the underworld apart to make him mine. Valentine is the wrong prey for a myriad of reasons, and at the very top of that list is the fact that he's a DiFiore. He's naïve, reckless, and far too pretty for his own good. He's a doctor who can barely even stand the sight of blood. It's a damn miracle he managed to stomach med school, let alone survive this long in a world as cruel and depraved as ours. He's also straight. Just in case there needed to be one more reason I have no business wanting him. When the monster who killed the one man I've ever truly loved comes back from the dead and Valentine ends up in his crosshairs, it falls to me to keep this beautiful idiot alive. I can't make any promises for his innocence, though. Not when he looks at me with those defiant honey-brown eyes, just daring me to make him mine. My key witness. My prisoner. My boy. Because as Valentine is about to learn, I'm the kind of man who always gets what he wants. I'm just not sure either of us is ready to pay the cost. Author's Note: This is an intense, high-heat, high-angst standalone MM Mafia Romance brimming with violence and mayhem. Malcolm is no hero, and reader discretion is advised.

Falling in love with an obsessive serial killer was the last thing on my to-do list. I was born into a world of villains, so it came as no great surprise when my brothers fell for the most twisted monsters of all. A sociopathic fixer. A psycho sadistic cop whose name belongs in the dictionary next to corruption. Maybe I’m the one who’s crazy, thinking I could have any semblance of a normal life... moreFalling in love with an obsessive serial killer was the last thing on my to-do list. I was born into a world of villains, so it came as no great surprise when my brothers fell for the most twisted monsters of all. A sociopathic fixer. A psycho sadistic cop whose name belongs in the dictionary next to corruption. Maybe I’m the one who’s crazy, thinking I could have any semblance of a normal life. The worst part is, I can’t even blame them for my not-so-perfect marriage crashing and burning, or my struggles as a single father. When my young son goes missing and a ransom note turns up demanding a trade for the serial killer my brothers-in-law keep locked in a basement, though? Yeah, I’m blaming them for that. And I’ll tear the world apart to get my kid back--even if it means keeping Demon leashed at my side. James is something far more dangerous than Silas and Malcolm. He's an unhinged, self-righteous killer who’s on a mission to punish the sinners who broke him in the first place. He’s also my only hope of ever seeing my son again. When you embark on a journey through hell, you want a demon on your team. It’s when he ends up in my bed that it’s a whole different problem. -.
