It's not about if they survive - it’s whether any of them deserve to. \———————————————————————————————————————- Everleigh Genovese has spent her life testing loyalties for her father's empire. When Finnic Lawson is brought in as a new asset, only a year deep and already under suspicion, Everleigh is assigned to measure the depth of his allegiance. With Dante, her father's enforcer, watching closely, Finnic steps into a game of deception disguised as a high-profile hostage situation, unaware that the woman he must save is the very danger he doesn't know about. Side note: This is a mafia suspense/thriller with a bunch of twists AND a splash of dark romance. Book's two and three will have more smut and romance.

The daughter of New York City’s most notorious mafia family, she is danger wrapped in beauty. She's deceptive and used to protecting herself. But with him, she begins to feel human for the first time in her life. The thing about being human? You can’t escape the world’s cruel realities. In His Veins is the prequel to Behind Their Eyes.
