Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

Meet Freya Beauregard; a 24-year-old from a wealthy and well-known family and a hopeless romantic with failed relationships in the past, but she knows the one constant in her life- cats. She owns a cat café called Mocha Whiskers at the Upper East Side of New York, where the main attractions are exotic and common cats alike, sharing her love of felines with other animal lovers like her. And then there's Nathaniel 'Nathan' Coleman; goodlooking, owns a successful company at 27, a man many women chase after and pretty much also comes from a wealthy and well-known family too, but there's a stark difference- he hates animals, especially felines. That, he can't get over. But when his friend tricks him into ending up at Freya's cat café instead of the hottest nightclub in town, things heat up for the worst. First things first: Freya doesn't trust people who hate cats. Secondly: Nathan doesn't like how ironically comparable the crazy café owner can be to a dog, preferably a female one. Unfortunately, there's an attraction that neither can resist- like catnip to cats. A cat's reaction is unpredictable upon its first exposure to catnip; whether there will be a mellow calmness or an aggression with no cause at all. One thing's for sure is that it's irresistible, and neither Freya nor Nathan would have an idea of their reaction...
