Synopsis: James “Mac” Maccari’s career in the mafia is at a standstill. As the best solider in his Capo’s crew, all he wants is to be noticed enough to get Made in the Pivetti Crime Family. But instead, his Capo’s interests seem more focused on keeping his solider hidden from the boss, and every other Made man he can. Seemingly stuck right where he is with no chance of going up, Mac doesn’t know what will finally get him the attention he needs to earn his button.
Until she shows up and all eyes are on them …
Melina Morgan survives—that’s just what she does. She’s never been able to depend on anyone but herself to keep her safe and get things done. When a chance encounter puts her in a bad situation with the cops and the mafia, Melina has no choice but to put her faith in the hands of a man that not only infuriates her with his cocky arrogance, but catches her interest, too. Playing pretend in a fake relationship with Mac doesn’t seem all that terrible, until pretend turns real and bullets start to fly.
A man is nothing without his woman …
When the attention on Mac and Melina turns from bad to worse, and someone in the Pivetti Crime Family decides the couple needs to go, they know they’re fighting an uphill battle alone. But making it to the end alive means Mac could get what he’s always wanted, and Melina might find what she didn’t even know she needed.
Together, they’ll make waves the mafia has no choice but to notice …
Excerpt
“I’m
not always cold, thank you.”
“No,
you’re certainly not. I had you pretty hot earlier, didn’t I?”
Melina’s
cheeks tinted with a light pink. “Hey, now—”
“Keep
your bark, Melina.”
“Mac!”
“Save
the bite for later,” he finished with a wink.
Melina
huffed, crossed her arms, and glared at him from the passenger seat. “Does this
really seem like the right time for you to go on with your usual cockiness? Do
I look like I’m in the mood for any of that?”
“You
look like you need a break,” Mac answered honestly.
And
she did.
Melina’s
eyes were tired, her usual fight was dulled. She wasn’t sitting as straight as
she usually would in her seat, and a wariness emanated from me.
“So,”
he continued, drawling out his words, “… forgive me if I’m trying to make you
relax a little bit, doll.”
“Relax,
huh?”
“Yes.
It seems as though we’re going to be spending a lot of time together in the
near future, and not all of it will be fun. Relax. Get comfortable. Right now
we’re safe. Chill the fuck out and don’t sweat the rest.”
“Easy
for you to say,” Melina muttered. “No one wants to kill you.”
“You
do realize that my public statements of being with you puts me on the same
platform as you, right?” Mac asked quietly. “Calling you mine, vouching for
you, and bringing you into the folds like I did makes me responsible for you,
Melina. If Luca decides to pull the trigger on you, then I will quickly
follow.”
Melina
quieted in her seat. “Oh.”
“Yeah,
oh.”
“I
didn’t know it was like that.”
“The
mob sees a man for what he is underneath his charming smile and nice clothes. A
human, one with a word and blood. If his word can’t be trusted, then his blood
can spill. You have my word, Melina. Please let me keep the blood from
spilling, too.”
“Okay,”
she whispered.
“That
all you got?”
Melina
sighed. “No, but I’m too tired and confused to come up with something better. I
think relaxing sounds pretty damn good right now.”
“I
agree. How big is your bathtub?”
“Excuse
me?”
“Your
bathtub. How big is it?”
“Big
enough,” she replied.
“For
two?”
Melina
glanced away, but Mac had seen the hint of her smile before she did. “I guess
we’ll find out.”
“I
guess we will, doll.”
