The Famiglia
a spicy mafia romance series
He keeps everyone at a distance, but when it comes to her, he can’t get close enough.
Damiano
As enforcer for the Galliano crime family, my job is to keep our boss safe. I obliterate his enemies, I annihilate all threats, and I avoid any distractions—especially the kind that wants to spend the night after.

So I should have crawled away from the stunning blonde who found me bleeding out in the park. And when I realized how truly awful she was at stitching me up, I should have run. But once she stroked my head just right, I wasn’t going anywhere.
​
Then again, she thinks I’m in a coma. She has no clue that I can hear every whispered secret and feel every warm caress. That sponge bath? I was wide awake and should thank her for how she handled the situation that. . . arose.
​
This girl has no clue what she’s doing half the time, but I’m all in.
Paige
My job’s a dead end, my love life sucks, and Chicago’s way too cold for a California girl. At least the injured rabbit I rescued is doing great—I will pass the wildlife rehabilitator license exam this next time. I’m sure of it.
​
So, when I stumble upon an injured man refusing to go to the hospital, of course I help him too. Not because he’s perfectly sculpted from Italy’s finest marble, but because he needs me. And since online videos taught me how to patch up a mauled rabbit, I’ve totally got this.
That is, until his enemies track him down at my place, and he drags me into his dark world of violence, death, and destruction. No thanks, I’m out.
He’s injured and she’s in danger. Who rescues who?
83K words; dual POV, spicy mafia romance featuring a possessive, morally grey alpha male who falls hard for a quirky, optimistic girl who finally puts her foot down. Then picks it back up. Forced proximity, praise kink, opposites attract. Standalone with a HEA.
Kidnapping Tessa to blackmail her father was supposed to be simple, but she makes everything hard.

My whole life, I’ve been preparing for the day my dad would step down so I could take over running our syndicate. But I never planned on him be hauled off to prison for a triple murder he had nothing to do with. So add to my growing list of responsibilities—on top of our legal businesses and our not at all legal business, on top of taking care of my mom and my sister, on top of taking care of my men—now, I need to figure out how to get him out.
Lucky for me there’s one person with the motive and opportunity to frame him. And ever luckier, he just so happens to have a 19-year-old daughter. Maybe she needs to come stay with me awhile while her father figures out reset his priorities. Afterall, what father wouldn’t turn the world upside down to rescue his little girl?
Only. . . he doesn’t. What the hell?
I need to push harder, using the girl as bait, to make her father suffer. But the more I get to know her, the harder it is to stick to my plan.
95K words; dual-POA HEA; alpha male; enemies to lovers; no cliff-hangers. Can be read as a standalone, but some of the characters and events were introduced in Damiano’s Rescue (book 1)
Book Three:
Johnny's Bombshell
Seeking revenge against her family, Guiseppe "Joey Bags" Bagliateri lures Rose Galliano from Rome back to Chicago, a city she left 10 years earlier, then gives her an impossible choice: pretend to be the escort Joey is gifting to his nephew for a month-long birthday present or see her younger twin brothers meet a horrible fate. Putting la famiglia prima di tutto, the family before all else, Rose sees no other choice and prepares herself for suffering and misery.
​
Until she realizes that the nephew is the actual man of her dreams--her childhood crush who barely knew she existed then and who doesn't recognize her now, all grown up. Settling into Johnny's life over the next few weeks is surprisingly natural for her--like playing house. But she's horrified about what would happen if Johnny found out she isn't actually an escort his uncle shipped over from Italy, but rather the baby sister of his biggest rival or if her family realized she isn't safely tucked away in Rome, but rather is in their very city, sleeping with the enemy. Most of all, she's terrified about going back to Rome. Alone.
