“Dark, seductive, and hot as HELL.” – USA Today Bestselling Author Lili ValenteTwo years out of college, Angelica Bondesan spends her time working as a barista, keeping in touch with her prodigal brother, and trying to figure out how to bridge the gap with her father, a wealthy real estate developer. But all of that changes the night she’s kidnapped. Thrown into a windowless room, Angelica is … night she’s kidnapped. Thrown into a windowless room, Angelica is positive there’s been some kind of mistake — until she meets Nico Vitale.
Gorgeous and frightening, Nico became the boss of New York City’s Vitale crime family after the execution style murder of his parents. Since then he’s turned the old-school mob into a sleek, modern army of ruthless men who understand that physical violence — while always an option — isn’t the only way to get what you want.
Sure Nico is lying to her about her father’s involvement in the criminal underworld, Angel hates Nico with a vengeance. But when it becomes obvious nothing is as it seems, Angel is forced to face the truth:
Her father is not the man she believed him to be.
Nico Vitale is dangerous, possibly lethal.
She is falling in love with Nico Vitale.

Great series
A great story and page turner. Didn’t want to put it down.
Love it.
I downloaded this book for free with low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. What a well written book. Steam and suspense on every page. I ended up reading all 3 books in 3 days! They are that good.
I love a good Mob story with power, money, mystery and the Alpha male with a strong female. This was great. I do love the side characters as well. This was a very good start to the three book series of mysteries to solve and empires to conquer.
Looking forward to the next in the series
I love this kind of stories. Romantic but also some action and not to sweet. And don’t we all love a bad boy?
Good read. Ended up buying the next two books in the series.
Smokin hot read
I loved reading this book. I could not put it down. I love the characters and the story.
Loved this book so much I bought the next two in the series.. loved the second one but couldn’t get thru the third one..: just wished it would end took me two weeks and had to make myself finish it.
cliffhanger
Awesome. I’ve read this book three times now. If you have some great stories like this one, you can publish it on N0velStar.
Its started interesting….
It was terrible! The ending was crap!
I was really disappointed. The male lead was a fantastic character. I absolutely adored him; the tortured soul that he was. The girl? Not so much. Over and over and over questioning and doubting the entire time over the same thing. Very rendundant for a reader. Nico deserves sooo much better than the way she treated him. Would I recommend it? I mean, yes, I would, but then I got to the end and realized it was a series. Total cliffhanger. And, ya, the first book is free, but the other books aren’t. So, on that alone, no. Don’t give away the first book and then make it up with the next ones by jacking up the price to $4 and $5 dollars.
I enjoy book that have a HEA, even though plenty of angst exists before it. This one ends on a cliffhanger. To continue the story requires the purchase of more. The heroine was a mess of contradictions. Faced with the undeniably fact of the life lived by her father, she was able to leave the one guy she loved because of her beliefs about her father. I couldn’t understand how the man she loved accepted her reasoning, flawed as it was, while proclaiming his undying love.
Liked book but hate cliff hangers.
It was okay.
