Protective Vows

2022

I crave freedom and his marriage bed. But I can’t have both. I’m all that’s left of the powerful Greek Florakis mafia. My father and my older brothers were murdered in a yacht explosion off the coast of Crete, and now my family is in tatters. That’s when Luca Valverde comes for me. He’s six-foot-four, covered in scars and muscles, a hardened killer, and my sworn enemy. But instead of finishing the job, he takes me home and gives me a a bullet or his wedding ring. I accept marriage and decide to bide my time until I can put a knife in his back. When we return to New York, things get complicated. He needs to prove himself to his family after taking a Greek bride, and I’m stuck trying to help my hated husband while also waiting to escape. Every second I spend in his marriage bed is another second I spend forgetting about my freedom. His touch is a poison flower and his lips are like honey. But I’m playing the long game, and in the end, I’m going to win. Welcome to a brand new mafia family! You’ll love watching hardened Luca break all the rules to keep his new Greek bride Kacia. There’s plenty of steam, plenty of twists, and lots of dirty-talking mafia swagger. As always, it’s a standalone full-length novel with no cliffhanger and a happily-ever-after. Enjoy!

Sinful Promise

2022

I’m in his bed learning the limits of my body. Peter Calimeris. Greek mafia son, monster in a perfect suit, and the only man keeping me alive. He’s supposed to be my bodyguard, but he barely notices me. At least until Peter gets involved in a business deal with my half-sister. I use my family connections to forge a pact between us: if he teaches me how to fight and survive, I’ll help him win a lucrative contract. It’s a deal neither of us wants but both of us needs. He’s a brutal teacher. Firm but honest and fair. And one night, after I give out as many punches as I get, we find there’s something more between us. It’s a mistake that feels too good to ignore. Now the world is crashing down and a rival Greek mafia wants to stop this business deal with my half-sister from going through. But all I can think about is whether Peter will break me, and whether I want him to. Welcome to the next book in my Greek Mafia series! Watch Adrienne blossom from a traumatized girl with more money than problems into something much harder and tougher than she ever dreamed, all while dangerous Peter keeps testing her limits! Sinful Promise is a standalone novel with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a happily-ever-after guaranteed. Enjoy!! BB
