“Hm,” I say, dubious. “You’re kind of an unthinking asshole from time to time, baby. What if you make me cry without meaning to?”
I’m just kidding, but Luca gets all serious. “I would hate that,” he says, cupping my face. “I’ve spent the last few months making you miserable, me miserable—and for what? I won’t ever do that again. I’ll shout it from the fucking rooftops how much I love you. I’m going to make this City kneel for you, baby bird, and pay their respects like they should. And if I ever do anything that makes you sad again…”
“Yes?”
“Then I’ll apologize like a man and I’ll make it up to you. And then I’ll eat your ass for a whole week, or whatever perverted sex thing you can think of.”
“Oh, baby, I have so many wicked ideas,” I laugh. “I have plans for you.”
He pushes me down in the bed and gets on top so he can suck on my nipples. “Mm, do you?” he murmurs.
“Oh, I do. I do.” So many plans.
For Luca D’Amato.
For New York City.
For the whole goddamn world…

Dear truly treasured reader…
I’m writing this to you during strange times: April 2020. I sincerely hope that Married to the Mobster has let you escape into a fantasy world for a short time, even if that fantasy world was a little dark!
I’m hoping to return to the Family soon, to see how Luca and Finch cope with the day-to-day of married life…and the criminal life.

LEARN THE RULES
(Rough Love Series Parts 1-5)
Benjamin Ballard always assumed he was straight—in every way possible. They invented the term 'vanilla' to describe him. But if Ben's so straight, why can't he get his inscrutable coffee-shop co-worker Xander Romano out of his head? And how come Xander's rough-housing on the basketball court gets Ben so flustered?
Xander Romano keeps his private life private, and lives by a strict set of rules. No fooling around with straight guys, and definitely no fooling around with vanilla guys. Been there, done that, got his heart broken. All Xander wants now is to focus on his acting career, and keep his darker desires under wraps.
So what is it about Benjamin Ballard that makes Xander want to break all the rules? When Ben begs for a chance to experiment, Xander can't resist taking him in hand. It's just one quick session, after all.
But Ben has other ideas...
WINTER WONDERS
(M/M Holiday Romance 1)
Faking their way through Christmas...
This holiday season, Cooper Kincaid finds his perfect Christmas gift on the side of the road: Jonathan Ashe. So perfect, in fact, that he can't resist unwrapping the gorgeous present and playing with him a little early, after taking Jon back to his cabin to recover from a minor car accident.
Jon seems to bring out something deep inside Cooper...something he's tried to keep hidden from previous boyfriends. But their merrymaking is complicated when Cooper lies to his meddling mother, and tells her he's dating Jon.
Jon has no interest in a new relationship after getting his heart broken. Definitely no interest in the heir to the Kincaid estate, where Jon is working for the holidays. And especially no interest in a guy who's so new to finding his bossy side in bed.
Still, maybe a fake relationship could be fun, just for the holidays?
But Cooper has made up his mind: it's his Christmas mission to heal Jon's heart. He's determined to work out exactly what Jon wants, and give it to him.
Meanwhile, Cooper's disapproving mother not only invites his ex to their Christmas Eve event, she digs into Jon's past to prove to Cooper that they're totally unsuited.
Can Cooper and Jon admit that they might be each other's winter wonderful, or will their differences and outside interference prove too much?
TAMING TRISTAN
(M/M Holiday Romance 2)
Tristan:
I'm a trouble-maker.
Everyone at the club knows I don't kneel on command.
So what?
I’ve never met a man who’s worthy of my full surrender. I’m bored of all the wannabes who think they can expect perfect obedience without proving themselves first.
But if I don’t play nice, I’m gonna get banned from the scene.
And that’s when I meet Seth, the one guy who might have a chance at bringing me to my knees.
Seth:
I'm not interested in a relationship. I like it hard, fast, uncomplicated.
But then a Hollywood producer and his plaything bet me I can’t tame a notorious trouble-maker by Valentine’s Day.
I can’t refuse—not when it comes with the promise of big money when I win. I’ll be able to pay off my family's debts.
Tristan Taylor is an enticing gamble. Whip-smart, big blue eyes, cheeky as they come. I like a challenge. I'll bring out Tristan's primal needs.
I’ll make him beg. I’ll make him obey. I’ll make him kneel…
But it'll take more than one night to train Tristan, and each session leaves me wanting something more.
Something I wasn't prepared to gamble on.
Taming Tristan was meant to be a bet. I never thought I’d wager my heart.
