The Accardi family is back. And this time, it's Rocco's turn. At 30 years old, Rocco Accardi is known for a lot of things-his temper, his recklessness, his complete disregard for consequences.

Their relationship was never meant to cross the line. But one wrong step-and everything spirals. Rocco doesn't know how to love. But he knows how to destroy.

Now that he's found her again, everything she thought she knew about love and acceptance is about to be turned on its head. But is it for the better or for the worse?

After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019

It's been thirteen years since Tyler has seen Mikey for more than just a handful of minutes in a passing visit. A ten year age difference hadn't stopped her crush, not after the fateful day he'd saved her life; he'd been home for Christmas, visiting his sister Val, who's married to Tyler's older brother, Reggie. Val had given birth to their first baby on Thanksgiving, and that Christmas was the first time Mikey was coming home to see him. As Tyler had been leaving the house, she'd slipped on the ice, hitting her head and knocking herself out. If Mikey hadn't found her when he did, rushed her to the emergency room, she would have died of hypothermia. That's when her obviously unreciprocated crush had started. She'd known him all her life. She was nothing more than his best friend's kid sister, the one he barely saw since making it to the N.B.A. and having spent the last ten years playing out in California. But he's home now, having been traded to Washington, the same city Tyler just happens to be going to school in. At twenty-one can she finally catch his attention? Can she finally tell him about her crush? The one she's had for the last five years. Will he ever see her as anything other than his best friend's little sister?
