The moment I meet Ricco Montavio, my world tilts on its axis. Hotter than hell and maddeningly dominant, he’s suddenly in my world on the regular: in my massage studio, at my daughter’s preschool, on my front porch, in my every waking thought… Why me? I’m a rule follower. A single mom just trying to make ends meet who was not looking to hook-up with anyone… much less a King of the Boston Underworld who makes his own rules. Every fiber of my being screams at me to run. But instead... I kneel. I submit. I plummet headlong into a love affair with the most dangerous man I’ve ever met, a man who’s clearly keeping secrets. I know Ricco Montavio breaks people for a living. I can only hope his secrets don’t break me.

I'm in love with Timeo Montavio. If only it were that simple. He's my best friend. Practically my brother-in-law... And a cold-blooded killer. I mourned his loss when he vanished from my life six months ago. But now he's back, and he's no longer the boy I once knew. There's a darkness in his eyes that chills me to the bone. When a blizzard holds us prisoner in Bella Notte—a members only club harboring secrets within its walls—I have nowhere to run. Even when I want to... Infatuation is a wickedly slow burn friends to lovers dark mafia romantic suspense, featuring an anti-hero, elements of violence, and consensual non-consent. Mature audiences only, please.
