An American Mafia Romance

1978 Baltimore

Matteo DeVecchio is the underboss of the most powerful family in the Mid-Atlantic, answering only to his father, Francesco, who is Capofamiglia. He doesn’t believe in the “L” word. “I don’t want love anywhere near my vocabulary.”

Sherry Drakos is a low-paid public defender who does the DeVecchio bidding on the side. She likes her independence. “I don’t want or need a man to tell me what to do.”

Once they meet, attitudes begin to change.

He can’t keep his eyes off hers. “Blue Eyes. Not again. God, I’m a sucker for blue eyes.”

Neither can she. “They call him a mob boss, but I’ve seen his world. Outsiders don’t understand. It’s kill or be killed.”

Matteo is distracted when a powerful rival comes gunning for him, just when a DEA agent decides to end the DeVecchio family. No more time for distractions. He has a plan.

Watch out when his rival and the DEA both get interested in Sherry.
