Blurb:
Lucian Marcello is aware of the expectations following him as the oldest
son of one of North America’s most infamous Cosa Nostra Dons. Family in his
world is more than blood and sharing a last name. It’s the honor, respect,
business, and the life. Being a Capo is just a stepping stone until it’s time
for him to take on the role of underboss but a chance meeting with her could be
the one thing he’d risk it all for.
She is exactly what he didn’t know he was looking for.
Jordyn Reese spends her time trying to stay under the radar of a man who
wouldn’t think twice about killing her. Unwillingly affiliated with a dangerous
MC gang, her life is dominated by the men surrounding her and her future rests
solely in how useful she can be for them. The last thing she needs is some
Mafioso gaining her more unwanted attention from the club.
He is everything she should stay away from but can’t.
Notoriously violent when it comes to getting what he wants, Lucian will
stop at nothing to make the target on Jordyn’s back disappear. But sometimes
the worst threats are the ones you can’t see until it’s too late. The truth
behind Lucian’s history is about to take center stage in more ways than one,
and it’ll either save him … or kill him.
This world leaves everyone a little filthy.

Book Teaser
Book Excerpt
Out of the corners of his
eyes, Lucian did see part of her bare shoulder and the black curls hiding her
face, though. It wasn’t so much the amount of flesh she was showing as it was
the peeks of what looked like a cherry blossom tattoo crawling over her
shoulder and dipping down her back where it disappeared from his sight.
“Hello, guys. I’m Jordyn.
I’ll be serving you tonight, or something close to it. What’ll it be?”
The sultry tone of her voice
was something Lucian and his body noticed the moment she spoke. It was almost
like a mixture of innocence and experience, if that were possible. She didn’t
sound entirely bored, but she didn’t sound like she was in it to win it with
her job, either.
Dante looked to his father,
his earlier comment about not consuming the drinks being silently said again.
Antony must have took note.
“A bottle of Jack,
unopened. Four—” Antony stopped up short, his lips tugging down into a frown as
he passed a glance towards Gio. The youngest brother certainly didn’t need to
be drinking tonight. “Make that three glasses. We’ll pour.”
Leaning forward was the
worst mistake Lucian made since waking up that day. He certainly hadn’t
expected to see her again. At least not in a place like this.
She was on his mind all damned week, those eyes of hers, cream-like flesh, and
a mouth that just at the sight alone, make his own water.
What’d she call herself?
Jordyn, was it?
Merda.
Shit was right—he was in so
much of it.
Suddenly, Lucian was not in
the zone like he needed to be.
He was so incredibly fucked.
Also, Lucian realized he
was right about his first assumption when he thought she had ink under her
dress that day at the confessional box. Cherry blossoms started somewhere
beneath the lace and leather bottoms she wore and trailed up over her side,
before crossing over her left breast which was also covered by nothing but a
lace and leather brassiere, and then curved over her shoulder.
There was another tattoo,
too, but in the darkness, Lucian couldn’t read the scripted words.
Strangely, the immediate
rush of possessiveness that flooded his veins surprised him. She was still so
beautiful, like crazy. The more skin his gaze crawled over, the tighter his
pants became. Lucian caught himself wondering what those blossoms would taste
like under his tongue.
Yeah, he was not where he
needed to be. This unknown woman knocked him off kilter and she probably didn’t
even know it. What was wrong with him?
Unfortunately, his father
seemed to realize his son’s abrupt change in posture and mood. “Lucian?”
At the sound of his name,
the girl’s—Jordyn, he reminded himself—eyes flashed to meet his in the
corner, those dark lashes of hers blinking rapidly like she also didn’t believe
what she was seeing. Lucian swallowed the thickness building in his throat.
Thankfully, Jordyn didn’t act like they had ever met or seen one another
before. She simply went on doing her own business.
“Unopened bottle of Jack
and three glasses. Anything else?” she asked, avoiding Lucian’s piercing gaze.
“Yes,” Antony said, still
watching Lucian closely. “The owner is Ron Daney, correct?”
Jordyn stood a little
stiffer, her shoulders squaring. “I beg your pardon?”
“The owner is Ron Daney,
Vice President of the Brooklyn chapter of The Sons of Hell,” Lucian said
gruffly, trying to swallow back the huskiness forming. “We’re not ATF or the
feds, let’s just be clear on that, sweetheart. Ron, he’s in tonight, yes?”
Jordyn nodded warily.
“Always is.”
“Good,” Antony replied with
a grin. “Send him a drink, whatever he likes. Do be sure to tell him it’s from
a guest. Antony Marcello and his crew. Do not mistake my name when you tell
him. Be sure to point me out so he sees me. Understood?”
“Got it.”
With that, the woman
Lucian simply needed to glance at to turn his skin ablaze and his heart
stuttering, was walking away.
She didn’t look back.
