"Trust me, once you get caught in the mob's web, you never truly get out again."   One minute, Phoebe Cavanaugh is minding her own business, trying to recover from a weeknight hangover; the next, she's witnessing a child kidnapping in progress. What's worse; the child's mother doesn't want her to involve the cops.   Why not? Because her ex-husband, Gino, is a mafia boss.   Okay, totally the opposite of Phoebe's world. Heck some people are now calling her "the Good Samaritan" thanks to media coverage of the kidnapping. Not that this knowledge is going to stop her from trying to find the kid…   Antonio Sarvilli may be an anti-hero, but he's not that bad. He doesn't kill people; he's the behind-the-scenes money man for his mob boss brother's dangerous empire.   Which is why it's so out of character for Gino to assign him to find out what this Good Samaritan knows about his daughter's kidnapping. But Antonio does it, because no one says no to Gino Sarvilli.   He gets close to Phoebe. He starts to like her. Maybe even…no, he needs to back off. The last thing he wants to do is pull Phoebe into his world.   Because once you're in, you never get out again.     Detroit Mafia series, in reading order: Destined for the Mob Paid by the Mob Trapped by the Mob Freed from the Mob Born into the Mob Controlled by the Mob Return to the Mob

One date leads to another, and, suddenly, Nina's in no hurry to leave town anymore.   But she has to, because there are dangerous men in Detroit, and they have long memories.

Marco Romano is a former Navy SEAL with a habit of saving people from the mob and then helping them to disappear. Until the mob catches up to him.   Now he's desperate to avenge his parents' death, but more importantly, he needs to protect his baby sister. Because his estranged aunt wants to take his sister away from him—the only family she's ever known.   Marco will be damned if he'll let that happen.   He needs to win this custody battle, and the only way he can is if he looks respectable on paper. How can he do that?   By finding a good girl and convincing her to marry him.   Or at least pretending until the custody papers are signed.   Now his problem isn't taking care of his sister or even taking down the scum who killed his parents. No, now his biggest problem is convincing himself he's not in love with the woman who agreed to be his fiancée.     Despite her best intentions, Hillary Karney's had one too many brushes with the mob. So what the hell is she doing back in Detroit, where it all started? And she's hanging out with Marco Romano, no less, a man whose picture is probably in the dictionary under "caveman." He wouldn't know good manners if they slapped him in the face.   And now he wants her to help him win custody of his sister?   Of course she's going to say yes; saving women from the mob is what she does. She's built an entire career around it. But she's not going to make it easy on him. She agrees—with a stipulation.   She's going to teach him how to be a gentleman. He's going to have to develop manners, common courtesies… and when she's done with him, some lucky girl is going to snag herself a hell of a catch.   Too bad it won't be her.   Detroit Mafia series, in reading order: Destined for the Mob Paid by the Mob Trapped by the Mob Freed from the Mob Born into the Mob Controlled by the Mob Return to the Mob
