Ruthless

"Dark, seductive, and hot as HELL." - USA Today Bestselling Author Lili Valente Two years out of college, Angelica Bondesan spends her time working as a barista, keeping in touch with her prodigal brother, and trying to figure out how to bridge the gap with her father, a wealthy real estate developer. But all of that changes the night she’s kidnapped. Thrown into a windowless room, Angelica is positive there’s been some kind of mistake — until she meets Nico Vitale. Gorgeous and frightening, Nico became the boss of New York City’s Vitale crime family after the execution style murder of his parents. Since then he’s turned the old-school mob into a sleek, modern army of ruthless men who understand that physical violence — while always an option — isn’t the only way to get what you want. Sure Nico is lying to her about her father's involvement in the criminal underworld, Angel hates Nico with a vengeance. But when it become obvious nothing is as it seems, Angel is forced to face the truth: Her father is not the man she believed him to be. Nico Vitale is dangerous, possibly lethal. She is falling in love with Nico Vitale. "Romantic and intriguing. A gripping read!" - NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely "Hot sensuality and gripping suspense.
