A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
So how did this series start? Fun question, back in 2012 I was giving my husband crap about not reading my books, at that point I’d had a dozen regencies out, and a few contemporaries and he was like I only read suspense, then we found out that this guy from the mafia was hiding out around 30 miles from our house, it made the news, he’d been hiding out for I believe over 20 years and the FBI raided his farm. He was beloved by his entire community and they even signed a petition to get his charges dropped. My husband read it and was like this, this is what I would love to read. I was so insecure at the time (little did I know) about writing suspense that I just jumped right into it. It was a crazy process of a ton of research about the mafia (that later became an obsession) and buying every single book I could on the Cosa Nostra’s history in the states. I can one hundred percent promise that what you’re reading was in fact researched to the point that I have a “mafia” Bible in my home (it’s seen better days at this point). I didn’t go read other mafia books from other romance authors and in fact refuse to do so, so that mine is authentic and based on fact not fiction, though there are some fictional things in there because, come on, romance ;) I hope you guys enjoy the stories and know that this is one of my favorite series of all time, and also one of my best selling series with millions of reads worldwide <3

PROLOGUE
Chase
I’d always wondered what it would be like—to sacrifice yourself so another person could live. It wasn’t like I was morbid or anything, but in my line of work, it was just a daily reality. You don’t work for the mafia and not think about it. Death was at your door constantly. Shit, it practically camped there.
I’d just thought it would come knocking a little bit later in life, you know? Every muscle in my body tensed as the second gunshot rang out.
Funny how at the end of your life, you think about the beginning. Even crazier? It was her smile that had first attracted me to her. The way her entire face lit up, the way her eyes said she’d eat me alive if I didn’t watch it. Damn, but so many things changed over the course of a few weeks.
I don’t even know how it happened, how she’d maneuvered her way into my soul, how she’d made it so that I was overcome with madness for her—a type of obsession that I never wanted to be done with. She had destroyed me, and in my destruction, I’d found my salvation.
I touched my chest and examined my fingers. My blood was wet and sticky. Slowly, I fell to my knees. I heard shouting around me. A foreign grunt came from my lips as my body slumped against the ground. Nixon came running, then Trace, and finally her, my tough as shit, Mil.
My wife.
And now… a widow.
“I’m s-sorry.” My breaths were coming in sharp, as if there was too much pressure on my lungs to breathe. Every gasp hurt like the fires of hell. I was being choked by the pressure in my chest, pushing and tearing, just waiting to pull me into the fiery pit.
“Don’t talk. You’re going to be fine, Chase, you have to be fine!” Mil pressed her hand hard over mine. Tears splashed onto my chest—her tears. “Damn it, Chase! Fight!”
“It’s not cold…” I sighed happily as the pain started to dissipate, leaving me in a state of shock. “It’s so warm.” And it was. Death was warm, not cold as I’d always thought.
Mil slapped me hard across the cheek. “And it’s gonna get hotter than hell if you don’t listen to me. You have to fight, Chase Winter. I refuse to live without you.”
“Okay.” I smiled. I would have probably rolled my eyes too, but moving anything more seemed too much of an effort. She would be fine. She was a fighter, after all. “Love you…” And then I succumbed to the blackness of my warm death. At least I knew, in those last few seconds, that for once in my life, I would have done nothing different.
Because every damn road had eventually led me to her, my wife. Going back? Hell no. Not a chance. Because life is about one thing. Love. And Mil? She was mine.

Entice: To attract or tempt by offering pleasure or advantage. Origin: Middle English, possibly from set on fire.
Chase
I looked in the mirror one last time. What the hell was I doing? What deranged lunatic had taken control of my body and said yes to that woman’s proposition? The worst part was I couldn’t even blame my yes on alcohol.
