When I finally get a life-saving kidney transplant, I think the worst is behind me. Boy, am I wrong.
I start feeling eyes on me wherever I go. I’m being watched. Stalked. Hunted. It’s downright scary. Then the hunter steps out of the shadows, and my life implodes.
I’m taken by Renzo Torrisi, a dangerous and unforgiving man. Turns out the kidney I received belonged to one of his men and I have to repay the debt. Only the terms are unclear, and the rules change on a whim.
Held prisoner in his penthouse, I have to serve the ruthless mafia boss like the god he is. Whether I’ll survive being Renzo’s captive is up for debate, though.
4. DRAWN TO DARKNESS by Michelle Heard
SYNOPSIS
Poverty is an understatement when it comes to describing my circumstances. My mother is a lost cause I can’t get rid of, and I work my fingers to the bone just trying to keep my head above water. To ease the stress bearing down on my shoulders, I like to dance. Working as a janitor at a ballet company makes it easy for me to steal thirty minutes at night when the place is empty. Or so I thought.
Just my luck that the dangerously handsome owner catches me red-handed. He thinks I’m a hardworking ballerina, and I don’t bother correcting him... because, you know, I’d like to keep my job. Dario La Rosa has every girl at the company swooning, hoping she’ll be the one to end his bachelor status. Me? I just want to keep my secret and try to avoid the man at all costs.
But then my mother’s sins burst through my dilapidated front door, and my life takes a turn for the worse. Turns out Dario isn’t who I thought he was, and the man has the power to not only change my entire life, but to keep me from losing it. Even though I’m drawn to the darkness coming off him in waves, I’m not sure whether I should run or stay.
What would you do?
5. GOD OF VENGEANCE by Michelle Heard
SYNOPSIS
I was born into the Cosa Nostra, so I’ve always known an arranged marriage loomed in my future. When the Capo dei Capi of the Cosa Nostra comes to Sicily to give his approval for his cousin, Stefano, to take me as his bride, I know my fate is all but sealed. Marrying Stefano is the last thing I want, but being a woman, I don’t have a say in the matter.
Damiano Falco is merciless and rules the Cosa Nostra with an iron fist. Everyone fears him and won’t dare go against him. I’m still trying to accept that I’ll have no choice but to marry Stefano when Damiano utters the last word anyone expects to hear. “No.” He doesn’t give his approval, nor does he offer any explanation. But if I think his refusal will set me free, I have another thing coming. Instead, my bags are packed, and within hours, I find myself sitting on a private jet with the head of the Costa Nostra.
The ruthless man doesn’t tell me anything, and I have no idea what my future holds. To say I’m terrified is the understatement of the century.
7. CRAVING REVENGE by Michelle Heard

For years, I’ve been groomed to be my brother’s shadow. To protect my father’s heir, who will one day take over from him as the Kumichō of the Yakuza, I’mforced to dress and act like a man when I’m out in public. The ruse works, and when I’m grabbed off the street by the Sicilian mafia, I’m in for a world of pain.
Augusto Vitale, a ruthless and unforgiving capo, wants revenge for what the Yakuza did to his younger brother, and I’m the one paying in blood. That’s until Augusto realizes I’m a woman and I’m set free.

8. FORCEFUL GOD by Michelle Heard
SYNOPSIS
I was born into the Cosa Nostra, so I should be used to the blood, violence, and constant threat of death, right? Wrong. Every time one of the men I love gets hurt, another piece of me fractures beyond repair. But the moment I see the man who owns my heart fall, it annihilates me.
The fear of losing Christiano forces me to the edge of my sanity. I shut down and push him as far away as possible, convinced distance is the only way to keep myself from unraveling. Christiano is as cold and merciless as his father, raised to rule the Cosa Nostra with an iron fist. Obsession runs just as deep as power in his bloodline, so no matter what I say, he won’t let me go.
Refusing to marry him doesn’t drive him away. It changes him, making him an unforgiving and ruthless man who will use force to keep me exactly where he wants me. I hide my weakness behind lies, but they only seem to feed the darkness in him. Like the predator he is, he watches me, waits for me, corners me. Every explosive encounter strips away my resolve until there’s almost nothing left.
The threat of the five families being torn apart is the only thing that finally makes me give in to his advances, but as I say my vows to Christiano, I know it’s only a matter of time before he realizes I’m not the perfect mafia princess he thinks I am. What will happen when the capo dei capi discovers I’m too fragile to be his Cosa Nostra queen?
