A life in hell was the sacrifice I made to keep my brothers alive. There's nothing I won't do to see that job through. Even if it means seducing the enemy. But I never intended to fall for Callandria Genovese. She was supposed to be a means to an end, nothing more. Now, I've got more to lose than ever. And the woman who holds the key to my future is in chains in my bedroom. I need her trust. I want her heart. One way or another, I will have both. I've been taught to hate the Valentino family since I could walk. I know they killed my grandfather. But no one warned me that the real monster of the bunch was Luca Valentino. They didn't tell me I'd find myself imprisoned in his bed, either. Or that I'd be so reluctant to leave it. But that's precisely what happened. Little by little, he's slipping beneath my defenses and making me feel things I shouldn't. But which side of him is real? The wanton man who sets me ablaze...or the ruthless mobster who refuses to let me go? If you like your OTT possessive older men morally gray and your curvy heroines strong, prepare to fall for Luca and Callandria in this steamy mafia romance. As always, Nichole Rose books come complete with a guaranteed HEA. Safe read. No cliffhanger. Each book in the Ruined Trilogy features a different Valentino brother and can be read as a standalone story.
