As the daughter of the New York City Capo, Madison Acres had no time for love. Arranged marriages were her future, but she aimed to make the most of the present - preferably with her ruggedly handsome bodyguard, Lorenzo Vitale.
Lorenzo, feared across the city as the Enforcer, was also the constant guardian of his Capos little mafia princess. He used to brush off Madison's playful flirtations, but things changed as he realized she was no longer an annoying teenager he had to babysit.
Madison Acres had grown into a beautiful woman and soon duty and desire entangled, blurring the lines between Lorenzo's job as her protector and an undeniable attraction between them.
A little summer fling wouldn't hurt anyone, right?
There were only a few things standing in Madison's way. Lorenzo's stubbornness and...her fiancé.

THE MAFIA'S WIFE
I was free... until I was condemned. Dracko Sullivan, a drug lord as ruthless as he is obsessive, forced me to become his wife. If I refused, my family would die. I accepted... and he locked me inside his golden cage, believing he could own everything-even my heart. But that was the one thing he could never have. On our wedding day, I discovered what hell truly was. There, beside Dracko, stood Damian-my forbidden love... his silent guard and the right hand of my captor. I didn't know the truth, but Damian already knew I was untouchable. Our reunion erupted in accusations and hidden truths. I thought he had abandoned me, until he confessed what Dracko had done: he blackmailed him under the threat of killing his parents, forcing him to disappear from my life. We were two souls chained by the same executioner... and by the same love. What we had was reborn in secret, a dangerous romance balanced on the edge of a blade. But Dracko began to suspect something, and in a burst of jealousy, he murdered Damian right in front of me. That day I lost my love. But I also discovered something I must protect at any cost: I am pregnant with Damian's child. And to save him... I'll have to make Dracko believe the baby is his.Complete
