Synopsis
From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a new STANDALONE, full-length MAFIA ROMANCE novel. For years, I've been groomed to be my brother's shadow. To protect my father's heir, who will one day take over from him as the Kumichō of the Yakuza, I'mforced to dress and act like a man when I'm out in public. The ruse works, and when I'm grabbed off the street by the Sicilian mafia, I'm in for a world of pain. Augusto Vitale, a ruthless and unforgiving capo, wants revenge for what the Yakuza did to his younger brother, and I'm the one paying in blood. That's until Augusto realizes I'm a woman and I'm set free. I think it's the last I'll ever see of him, but then my father comes up with a plan that will ensure I live the rest of my life in hell. Once again, I find myself at Augusto's mercy, but this time he has no intention of letting me go. STANDALONE: A Mafia Romance full-length novel.
