Who picks me up by mistake and informs me I've been sold to repay a gambling debt. I can't set him straight and risk my fragile sister's life - even if it means giving my body to a monster. Soon she's not the only thing hanging in the balance. Not when every searing touch brings me closer to giving my heart to the last person who deserves it. When Luca slowly reveals the man beneath the hard, calculating surface. A man with enemies prepared to wage a war that could end up destroying all of us... if he doesn't destroy me first. \\I.O.U. is Book One in the Bruno Crime Family series. It is a dark mafia romance with mature themes. This book ends on a cliffhanger!\\

The man I'm most afraid of is the only one who can save me - and set my heart on fire. I expected I'd have to jump through hoops to keep Luca Bruno satisfied until I found a way to escape his clutches. I expected I'd have to sacrifice my dignity to protect my twin sister from being sold to him. I never expected to get caught up in the bloody feud between the Bruno family and their most dangerous rivals. Yet the feelings Luca stirs in me are the most surprising thing of all. The emotion. The connection. He's a murderer. A monster. A monster willing to burn the world down to avenge me. If I let him do it, that would make me no better than him. It would tie us together forever. Somehow, the idea of forever doesn't chill my blood the way it used to... because somewhere along the way, he's become the sanctuary I've always needed...

When his past comes knocking at the Bruno house, the family’s second son is forced to face his mistakes - and to learn there’s no hiding explosive secrets forever. Vincent was never going to be head of the Bruno family, and he liked it that way. Less responsibility. More time to play. I was one of his playthings. His little Mirabella, a dirty secret his family would never approve of. It was only a game to him. For me? It meant everything. When he disappeared without bothering to tell me he was leaving, he left me brokenhearted and unable to reach him. With a tiny little secret that soon got a lot bigger. Now he’s back, and he thinks the past can be easily forgotten. It’s not always that simple. Whether he likes it or not, I’m going to make him face his responsibilities - not because I want to punish him, but because my ruthless uncle demands it as a means of infiltrating and destroying the Bruno family. If I fail, I’ll never see my baby again. If I succeed, I’ll lose the only man I’ve ever loved - and this time, it’s forever.
