Author Description

Mia Caruso grew up under the roof of a tyrant. Her father, an enforcer for the DeLuca crime family, ruled his home with the same brutality that his job required, and her mother was the silent trophy he'd always wanted. Mia was only ever in the way. She'd endured the abuse for years, her only solace was the hope that one day she would be free from his iron fists. Just shy of her eighteenth birthday and four months away from a fresh start at college, he showed up and turned her world upside down. Carlo DeLuca was at the top of his game, master of his own universe, as he commanded the most successful organized crime syndicate on the west coast. He'd built his empire from the ashes of his father's legacy, and vowed to never allow anything to threaten that. Carlo ruled with a cold indifference that terrified even the most brutal of men, and Gino Caruso was a rat that needed to be put down. But when he looked into a of pair amber eyes and saw a fire that rivaled his own, he knew nothing would be the same again.
