They call me "Blade" because they don’t know my real name. And no one would ever dare to ask. I’m a capo in the Gruco Crime Family and a man who’s accustomed to going unchallenged. No one would be stupid enough to go against me… Except for the pickpocket foolish enough to steal from the familia. She’s nothing but a thief, a nuisance, but she catches my attention. She’s clever, cunning, sexy, and above all… useful. The burden of deciding her fate is thrown onto me, and it’s good news for her because I don’t waste talent. I give her a choice. Work for me… or choose a fate worse than death. Author Nicole Cypher delivers another sizzling mafia romance in her standalone series, Gruco Crime Family!
