The Baker & The Butcher
Book 1 of the Lucky Mates Series
Sugar, Spice, and a High Body Count.
By day, Betty is the sweetheart of the city, the meticulous owner of Butter Inc., known for her world-class sourdough and innocent smile. But her aprons hide a darker secret: she is the underground's most clinical "cleaner," a woman who knows that the perfect sponge cake requires the same precise ratios as dissolving a forensic nightmare. She lives by the needle-knitting by morning, and stitching up the city's messiest secrets by night.
Jimmy Moretti is the "Butcher," a mafia kingpin who rules with refined violence and a heavy cleaver. He's a man who takes what he wants, and the moment he spots the petite, lace-clad baker in a high-end club, he decides he wants her. He doesn't just want a taste; he wants to own the bakery, the baker, and every dark thought inside her head.
When Jimmy kidnaps Betty to make her his queen, he expects a simpering princess. Instead, he finds a woman who doesn't flinch at his blood-stained hands-because her own are just as dirty. Together, they are a terrifying recipe for chaos.
From blood-infused revenge cakes to "researching" dark romance novels in the master suite, the Butcher and his Baker are about to show the underworld that the most dangerous monsters are the ones who feed you.
In this house, loyalty is the only currency, and revenge is a dish best served sweet
