Lies of the Underworld

Bianca Rossi is the perfect mafia daughter. A good girl. She does what she's told. She knows her value in the family; the key to peace with the Chicago Outfit. But when her sister's safety is threatened, she'll do everything in her power to protect her. She knows that she may pay for her lies with her life and it's a risk she's willing to take. Forced into matrimony with the family's enforcer, Bianca begins to realize that not all is as it seems. Lies begin to unfurl and the line between lust and love is blurred. Hearts and loyalties are tested. Lies may be commonplace in the underworld, but rarely are they as virtuous as hers. Her heart is good, but her new husband may very well break it right after he claims it.

Gabriella Ferrari is new to the mafia life. Following the devastating loss of her mother, and with no other options, Gabriella seeks out the morally gray men her mother begged her to avoid. A family found in mourning, Gabriella struggles to live within the confines of the fractured secrets her mother bestowed upon her. She's traded one prison for another. Yet, while protecting her life is a reality she's all too familiar with, guarding her heart never even crossed her mind. Standing at the altar, forcefully betrothed to one man, she pledges her life to another. A man she despises. Her brother's best friend and the head of the family. Lorenzo Caruso may be a boss, but she'd sooner stomp on her own heart than hand it to him, even if she does like the way he makes her feel behind closed doors. Up for the challenge and accustomed to getting what he wants, Lorenzo is determined to hold the little liar's heart in his hands before she even realizes it's missing. The question is... what does he plan to do with it once he's claimed it...
