Indy Parker Bello has lived an incredibly dry life. The only interesting action she experiences is through books, Netflix, and living vicariously through her four best friends. However, as a recent college graduate who just miraculously got a job as a detective for the local Italian Mafia crime unit, she has to fight to show that she belongs in this world dominated by men and women far more outgoing and experienced than her. To do this, she chooses to go undercover and take them out from the inside.
Luca Antonio Moreno has been the Chicago Mafia boss for 4 years now. As the youngest boss in his family's history, his pride tells him that he has something to prove, regardless of the fact that he doesn't even want the job. When he meets Indy, he believes she wants to help the organization and feels she's a perfect candidate for the job: baiting potential buyers.
When their paths cross, will they recognize their similarities, or will they let their obvious differences decide their fates?

Sufferable Acceptance
I would never admit this to anyone for as long as I lived, and I was going to hell for thinking it, but Theo Romano was hot when he was angry. It wasn't until I finished my dramatic speech did I notice he was standing a few inches from me. I could smell his intoxicating cologne, and I had to hold back every bone in my body that told me to jump him. I'd really done it now. I had pissed off the underboss, and I wasn't even officially hired yet. ***** Amelia Monet had built an empire for herself. To be fair, there was never a shortage of jobs for an assassin. Leaving quickly from a job Amelia walked past a bar that caught her eye. If she had known how much her life would change after that night would she still have walked through those doors? She still couldn't answer that question. That night became the first time she met Theo Romano, heir to the Italian Mafia, and unfortunately for Amelia it wouldn't be the last. ***** This book is considered mature. I don't want to upset anyone. This is the warning to potential triggers of murder, suicide, abuse, and adult themes.Complete
