I only ever had one dream—my name in bright lights for the world to see. And I had a plan to make it all happen.

Move to New York. Find an agent. Work hard. Then with a little luck mixed in with some natural talent, I’d be a Broadway star.

One devastating injury and a broken engagement later, I have nothing to show for my life except an empty bank account and a jaded heart.Desperate to salvage my dreams, I agree to interview for a job with my best friend’s brother, Gian Trassato.

Gian is charming. He’s magnetic. He’s connected to the Trassato Crime Family, and everything I should stay away from, but I don’t have a choice. I need the job. 

Just when I thought I was about to get my life and career back on track, I make one thoughtless mistake. I go back to the club to pick up my purse and witness something Gian’s enemies would kill to keep secret.

Now I’m being sucked deeper and deeper into a terrifying world I don’t understand…

Friends and enemies are interchangeable. Honor and family are everything. And the scariest part of all…I might actually be getting lost in Gian.

So I really really enjoyed this story from the great looking cover to the very end. This is not my first time reading this story and it sure wont be my last. This author is amazing with her writing and the story plots that she makes come to life are just as amazing. The story that is told this time is a true piece of art I'm not just saying that because I like this authors work no I'm saying this because the words just fly right off the pages and make you stuck to it like glue. The characters are great the story they each have comes to light and really shines upon everything. I loved it all. The banter, the sex, the alpha maleness and even all the things that go wrong it was really a great story. The names of the these characters are really unique I liked that a lot. Gian this mafia capo is a wild one that couldn't be tames well that changes when he meets Evie this sweet home town girl. Their life gets thrown upside down and all around by the end of the story you want the best to happen for both of them, See this is the part where you're thinking that maybe I'll tell you but you'd be wrong I wont it's just one of those things that you have to read. So yes this is a MUST READ story cover to cover don't miss any pages read. By the end I was craving more and wanting so much more I couldn't believe it was really over.

My Goodreads Review

My Rating

"Sexy. Gritty. Passionate. Intense. Gian is going to rock your world."

"I really liked this book. Clubs, Mobsters, drive-bys oh my!"

I wanted to spend the night getting lost in this woman. I wanted to kiss her. Taste her. Adore her. I wanted to put the past and the future in a sealed box and pretend it didn’t exist for a few hours. I should walk out this door right now, but the longer I looked at her, the more my logic crumbled. I leaned forward, my lips only a whisper away from hers. My brain cells scrambled. I smelled a hint of jasmine. I saw the tiny gold flecks in her otherwise dark irises. I counted the sprinkle of freckles on her nose. She had seven. It was my new favorite number. Fuck Tony. He could wait. “Evie,” I groaned, unable to resist any longer. She was the forbidden fruit, and I needed another taste of her brand of sin. I let my lips glide across hers. Once. Twice. Her eyes drifted closed, and a faint hum slipped through her full lips. “Gian, what the hell are we doing?” “I don’t know.” And I didn’t. This was madness.
