About the Mafia
How much do you really know about the Mafia? Before I started writing the Ruin & Revenge series, I thought I knew a lot. I’d watched the Godfather. I’d seen the Sopranos. I’d heard the stories on the news. But it wasn’t until I started researching in depth that I truly began to understand this fascinating culture. For anyone who is a fan, or if you are interested in reading or learning more about the mob, here are some of my top five Mafia indulgences.

Luca Rizzoli was nearly destroyed by a brutal betrayal that cost him his family. Now a ruthless crime boss in the city of sin, he lets nothing touch his frozen heart--until a smoldering encounter with a beautiful stranger ignites his passion. One night isn't enough for a man who takes what he wants, but his mysterious temptress has slipped away.
For two years police detective Gabrielle Fawkes has lived for revenge. But a night of indulgence with a sexy stranger changes everything. Powerful, charming, and deliciously dangerous Luca, has his own private reasons for offering to help her pursue the drug lord who killed her husband. There's a lot Luca isn't telling her and the more she finds out the less she wants to know.
When Gabrielle becomes the target of the drug lord she has vowed to hunt down, she must do the unimaginable: place her life in a mobster's hands. To save her, Luca must break his Mafia ties--or risk losing Gabrielle forever.
