Sleeping With the Enemy by authornicoleknight

When you're trapped between a crooked cop and the leader of a powerful mafia family, sometimes the only way to get yourself out is to dive back in. Sadie Sorento thinks she's left the mafia life behind. But when she finds herself in hot water with the police, she is offered a choice: go back to where she came from and spy on Brandon Avenetti, feared mafia leader and her ex-boyfriend, or her brother goes to jail. Returning to her old world of drugs, violence, and a ruthlessly attractive former lover proves more complicated than she'd ever imagined, however, and the passion Sadie and Brandon had both thought was dead in the water proves to be as dangerously intense as the cop hunting them. Now, Sadie and Brandon will have to play dirty if they're going to take down a man hell-bent on destroying them both; because if they don't, their families, their relationship, and their very lives will be on the line.

Surrounded by nothing but powerful, heartless men, she was shown the same kind of mercy they showed their enemies- None. Raised to be a killer, slowly turned into a monster, a life wasn't one she could have. No one knew she existed; she was his little secret, a weapon he kept in his back pocket whenever his enemies got the best of him. Born and raised to be coldblooded, what happens when things between her boss and his enemies put her in the line of fire- playing a dangerous game of trust, love, and hate- and he makes an enemy out of her?
