Maggie. I’ve made a terrible mistake. I just needed a small break from running the family winery with my brother, a few days of fun for myself. So I went on a weekend trip and slept with a gorgeous stranger. Happens all the time, no big deal. Except now I've learned this stranger is a mob boss. And worse, this mafioso has won my family's winery from my brother in a poker game. This can’t be happening. I won’t allow it... moreMaggie. I’ve made a terrible mistake. I just needed a small break from running the family winery with my brother, a few days of fun for myself. So I went on a weekend trip and slept with a gorgeous stranger. Happens all the time, no big deal. Except now I've learned this stranger is a mob boss. And worse, this mafioso has won my family's winery from my brother in a poker game. This can’t be happening. I won’t allow it. Vito D’Agostino may be smart and powerful and super hot, but he’s no match for me. Vito. When I met Maggie Fiorentino I thought she was cute. A woman up for anything, no strings attached. We didn’t even exchange more than our first names during our one and only night together. I certainly never planned to see her again. But fate has thrown me into her path once more, our futures destined to be entwined. I want her winery. And I want her. One thing to know about me? I always get what I want. Empire of Seduction is a standalone, no cliffhanger, guaranteed HEA. However, long time readers first met Vito D'Agostino in the Kings of Italy series, book three, Mafia Madman and saw him again in book five, Mafia Virgin. Readers met Maggie Fiorentino in Empire of Temptation, book one in the New York State of Mafia series. less
