When you’re “connected” in the Windy City, there are no guarantees. I grew up in the Family, navigating the labyrinth of courtesies in the layer cake of the Chicago Mob. When the capo says jump, you ask “how high?” They tell you to off somebody… You get the job done or you don’t come home. Play your cards right, and you’ll be a Made Man. Set for life—a violent life, but set. Play them wrong… well, the pay is great, but the retirement plan stinks. Enter one Isabella Lastra. Beautiful but sad, thoughtful but spirited. One look, and I know… I have to make her mine. I’m supposed to protect Isabella, not fall in love with her. The Loggia Family is out for blood, and Isabella is in their crosshairs. I’ll do anything to protect the woman I love. Anything. Even if I have to steal her. Can love survive in this blood-soaked, honor-bound world? Or will my quest to be a Made Man cost me the one woman I can’t live without? One thing’s for sure, if they want to take Isabella from me… They’re going to have to kill me first.
Authors

Bonnie Kennedy has loved romance novels her entire life. As a little girl, she would sneak romance novels from her mother’s bookshelf and read them while in school. The middle daughter of three children, Bonnie grew up in an Army household, changing schools frequently. She spent her early years in Germany before following her father’s Army posting throughout the American South and Midwest. Bonnie has been writing romance since 2011. During that time she has also been a science journalist and copywriter among other occupations. She lived briefly in the Midwest until moving to California with Clyde in 2018. Bonnie writes romantic suspense with dark and twisty vibes. She’s silly and fun when she wants to be and an amazing woman naturally. At the time of this writing, she’s also rolling her eyes because Clyde is the one writing her author biography and he is very much in love with her so he’s sort of biased.
