I know only one way to acknowledge the anniversary of my mama's death - by drinking away the memories in a back street bar. But there's nothing like waking up to the news I'm to marry the don of New York's biggest mafia family to induce the hangover from hell. My husband-to-be is a monster, but marrying him is the only way to save our family. I expect my fiancé to be disinterested in me, and he is. What I don't expect is... his brother. Cristiano Di Santo is intense, unfairly handsome, and has a tendency to shoot people's hands off if they don't do as he demands. He's also charged with protecting me. If that means crippling any man who looks my way, and carrying me upside down out of parties, his performance is exemplary. If it means not watching me when I shower, and not holding me through my nightmares... not so much. It takes me just six weeks to realize I'm falling for the wrong brother, and with my wedding day around the corner, my heart isn't all I want to give him.

Book two of NOLA Knights, the heart-stoppingly sexy spin-off series by Men of Haven author Rhenna Morgan As an avtoritet for the most powerful crime syndicate in New Orleans, Kir Vasilek doesn’t act without purpose, doesn’t speak without thought and never, ever loses his cool. The lives of his brothers, his family, depend on it. But then Cassie McClintock strolls back into his life, and staying cool is next to impossible. Cassie was the one who got away—and Kir is willing to break all his own rules to keep it from happening ever again. It’s one thing to report on the Russian mafia; it’s quite another to sleep with one of them, especially one as dangerous, and as sinfully sexy, as Kir Vasilek. Even though the information he once provided helped make her career—and the memory of his touch still keeps her up at night—Cassie knows too much about his world to go down that path. But when Kir reaches out for help after a rival family comes for one of his own, Cassie doesn’t want to say no, either to investigating a gruesome murder or to the heat that pulls her right back into his arms…and his heart. Taming Kir—and helping to save the family she’s come to call her own—is not the story she thought she’d write, but it’s the one she’s determined will get a happy ending.

My name is Lee Jacks and I've lived a life that few could imagine. When you grow up as the son of a crack whore with little more than the clothes on your back most days being accepted by your peers is the last thing you expect. I was always an outcast which was fine by me. It's what kept my brother and me alive. Survival is something that isn't taught in public schools, but it damn well should be. Especially the one that I attended for a while. But I'm not longer a gutter rat to be kicked aside like yesterday's trash. I'm a sought-after member of the Asheville, North Carolina elite and invited to parties given by the mayor, governor and the upper crust of society. If there's one thing I've learned, money and power will turn many an eye blind and even more ears deaf. Rumors about my past and the fact that I've long operated in the grey areas of the law abound, but the good people in this city could give a f***. What they do care about is that I donate to whatever charity their guilty conscience prods them to support. Even as a kid I instinctively knew that I needed to be the alpha. That's the same ingrained knowledge that animals are born with. You assert your dominance early on and reinforce it as needed. It wasn't that I enjoyed fighting as some did. Hell, I'd never considered myself a violent man by nature. But if it comes down to the him or me scenario, then it's gonna be him every time. I've killed to protect myself and those I love and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. The one thing I never counted on was falling in love with my assistant Liza. In one of my few selfless acts, I refused to bring her into my corrupt world. When she quits her job, and walks away from me, I soon discover that I never really knew her at all. For she has secrets of her own and one of them could very well be the need to destroy me.
