Dante Villani is every bit his name…a raging, blazing inferno who consumes everything in his path. He’s dark, dangerous, and delicious….a sexy as hell contract killer for the powerful and ruthless Villani family. And the man I was sent to destroy. Not that I knew it when he had me pinned up against the wall of that nightclub with his sinful body and electric touch. A second chance encounter with my forbidden target has me obsessed…and hungry for more of his devious tongue and savage hands.

Everyone thought my wife was dead, but I never stopped searching for her. When I finally found her, the timid young woman I forced to marry me was all gone. In her place was a fiercely independent woman who hated my guts. I might have deserved it. But did it stop me from dragging her, her secret child and her best friend back to New York City with me?

I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope.

I promised myself I would finally walk away from Tessa and not look back. All we ever did was hurt each other. We weren’t strong enough to fight for what we had and too weak to let it go. Or so I thought. The truth was I was the weak one, and she had been fighting for us the entire time. Now she’s letting me go and making promises to another man. That revelation brought me to my knees, and that’s where I’ll stay until I can convince her to try one more time. If we’re going to stand a chance I have to convince her that some promises were made to be broken.

After years of struggling as a single father to make ends meet, I’m finally content. Until my son and I are barreled over by a puppy and its gorgeous owner. The dog knocks my son down-literally-while the woman knocks me down-figuratively. With her adorable accent and her taco-loving t-shirt, she has me reevaluating my life and wondering how content I really am.

Even as Teddy’s child grows in my belly, I feel myself locked in the jaws of grief I can’t escape. But I can’t allow my emotions to distract me. A very real threat lurks in the shadows, eagerly waiting for me to let my guard down for even an instant. Cameron is out there somewhere—and it’s only a matter of time before he finds me.

Time stopped when Teddy died. I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t function. Until Lucas. He became an unlikely ally who helped me navigate through my fog of pain. I never intended for it to become more, but one night everything between us crashed to the surface. Now, Teddy is back and I’m trapped in a triangle with two of the deadliest men I know. How can I uncover my father’s murderer when I’ve ignited a rivalry that could blow my world apart?

Raised by the chief of police, I knew tangling with the mafia leader of Northridge Heights was a bad idea. Yet as I gazed into his dark eyes, I couldn't resist Teddy's offer. We made a deal. He helps me find my fathers murderer, and I'll stand by his side as paid protection. But nothing could protect my heart—from him. I saw a side of him few ever do, and it left me aching for him.

Can you whisper? Something I never thought I’d ask the guy who is exactly my type, but completely wrong for me. Someone I sneak secret glances at from a distance while vowing to never get too close. And then I get tossed in jail. With him. Know how forced proximity and extreme panic go together? They don’t. And the walls I spent a lifetime erecting around me crack, giving him an intimate view of all the secrets I work so hard to protect.

Men tremble at the sound of their names while women run, their lives flashing before their eyes. They’re the monsters under your bed, the boogeymen in your closet. Every living soul fears them. They’re relentless and they’re coming to play. They’re the sons of the most notorious mafia boss, the leader of the DeAngelis Family, and they’ve just set their twisted sights on me. They stalked me through my apartment, haunted my hallways, and crippled me with fear. They led me straight into their trap and captured me as though they had every right.
