I am the most ruthless, yet compassionate Mafia King in the world. My name strikes fear in most men. No one will go against me. They wouldn’t dare. When the love of my life is abducted, all of my morals are put to the test. I will do everything in my power to find her and bring her back home before it’s too late. No one touches what’s mine. While attempting to find her, we uncover that a faction has been working in my territory abducting women and children. Every fiber of my possessive and protective being reaches levels not even I knew I could reach. I will not rest until all that is left of their world is the embers of what they once held dear. The only question is in my mission to save my girl, will I survive the war?

When Addison contacts me about a case I’m working on, I fall instantly for the ER doctor. But spending time with her puts a target on both of our backs. I have a dark secret that I have kept even from my family. Not even Kyle, my best friend I grew up with, knows about my past. The case causes me to spiral down a dark hole and bring back the memories I have tried to forget for so long. Being a Special Victims Detective at NYPD, I have been handed a lot of dangerous cases I’m usually able to handle myself. But this requires my family’s help. If I have any hope of surviving and protecting my girl, it means I need to tell them what happened in my past. And I don’t know if I’m ready to face it.

Two years is a long time to be away from the people I care most about, but I am just not ready to see them. Not after what happened. How will I look my brother in the eye after what I did? Would he even forgive me? I have no time to answer these questions because before I know it I’m on a plane heading back to New York. My family’s life is in danger, and they need me. I don’t expect Malia Gilbert to be the one girl in the world who knocks me on my ass. I’m instantly attracted to her and would do anything to keep her safe. The stakes get insanely higher when I find out that not only my family’s lives are in jeopardy, but also that of the woman I love. To keep them safe, I must reach depths that even I fear. But is anywhere too dark for a renowned assassin?

I thought my life was over the day I lost my parents and sister. The day I was shot and left for dead. Little did I know five years later, I would be part of a group that saves my sister. Now here I am, part of a family that would do anything for each other. My brother in law sends me to take my niece to school. When I meet her teacher for the first time, I get this feeling all is not right. Slowly this shy, broken woman warms my heart. I want to protect her, and yet, I have to protect my family as well when my sister gets involved. Little do they know they just entered the lion's den. Family secrets are revealed, and things are uncovered in far more ways than we bargained for. For the first time in my life, I question if I can keep not only my family safe, but also the girl I fell in love with.

When the woman I’ve always loved shows up at my doorstep damn near dead and with a child after being missing for five years, all of the pain I felt at her disappearance comes crashing over me. I damn near forget completely that I’ve moved on with another woman until Alina shows up and sees Emma.Though we’ve never stopped looking for Emma, we’ve never been able to find her. Until today. The more she tells us about what she’s been through over the past five years sends my protective instincts into overdrive.We prepare for the battle we know is coming, but nothing can prepare us for the one we already have brewing in our very own circle.Secrets and betrayals that run so deep come to light. Lies that threaten to destroy me and everyone I love are thrown into the blazing inferno raining over us.When the battle ends and the heartbreak and treachery subside, will my heart lead me to my lost love or the new woman who caught my eye?

Being my brother’s tech and security guy has its advantages. All the money I could ever need. All the girls I could ever want. But I have never been like that. I have always been a one-woman man. I want it to mean something. Not just have a one-night stand. Unfortunately for me, life throws me a curveball. After a night in lockdown with the twins' nanny, I’m thrown into a world of deceit. Things start to go seriously wrong. Families are broken. The love of my life may never forgive me. But something doesn’t sit right with me. Something doesn’t quite make sense. My only hope for happiness and peace is to figure it out quickly. Before I lose not only my family but my heart.
