It was supposed to be a week at the beach. A quick vacation in her favorite place, Alma Del Mar. A simple, fun getaway-just Abby and her boyfriend, Matt. But, that all changed when she caught him with another girl. A trashy, local waitress named Bobbie Jo.
Garrett-the smoldering captain of the Pincha Culero, offers to take her in, but she decides to depart on a two day cruise to an uninhabited island. When she fails to return, the impression she left on Garrett leads him on a desperate search to find her.
A horrible rumor he's recently heard about the island leaves him no time to waste. He needs to find her before something worse does.

When The Sun Goes Down - A Midnight Mafia Novel
----- In serious need of revision! ----- Wanna-be journalist Kate Santoro would do anything for the scoop. Anything. Including finding her way into an underground club exclusive to only those in the Genovese mafia and the beautiful women they employee. What could be more perfect? She would stick to the shadows, snap a few videos, and write the biggest story New York has ever seen, therein making her a legend! Easy as pie. Until she gets found. A series of blatant lies and lucky breaks later and she is mistaken to be one of the workers underneath. While many might be terrified of this predicament Kate couldn't be more excited. The freedom to roam the area and talk to the members of the infamous brotherhood will leave no rock unturned. All she has to do is keep her cover until the night is over and the workers go home. What a fantastic position she is in! There are just two problems. One being him. Alessio. The Don, the Godfather, the Capo di tutti capi (the boss of bosses) who has taken a keen interest in Kate. Even that is something she could probably handle for one night. Except problem number two. They don't leave. Not at the end of the night, the end of the week, or even the end of the month.
