- The Don’s Diplomat
- Mafia Mate – The Collection
Work hard. Keep quiet. No infighting. No leaving. No poaching the women.
Jimmy Savaggio made these five rules for his street gang when he was a teenager. Along the way, he met Danny, Max, Mario and Margot. Together, they turned that posse into a conglomerate of mafia crews and corporate sharks. But now, the rules are being broken, one by one, by Jimmy himself and then by his underbosses, too. Nothing is sacred now, except the spouses they find and keep.
The Don’s Rose (Mafia Mate. Book One.)
When Jimmy Savaggio first sees Rosalia across the room at his corporation’s holiday gathering, he falls into instant lust. When he first makes her orgasm in his arms later that evening, his lust turns into a blinding obsession. When he rescues her from hell, blinding obsession develops into an abiding love. But Rosalia isn’t content to exist at the beck and call of a mafia don. She won’t be hidden away or kept a secret, not even for her own protection. Not again.
The Don’s Enforcer (Mafia Mate. Book Two.)
Danny has looked after Jimmy’s interests since he was a boy. Lost after the death of his mother and unable to compete with his father’s grief, Danny was saved when Jimmy took Danny home one day after school to meet Jimmy’s mother. Danny never forgot that kindness, and never looked back. First with his fists and later in much more brutal ways, Danny has defended and protected Jimmy and all that belongs to Jimmy ever since. But now there’s Lucia, the too-young woman living next door to Nonna – Jimmy’s mother. Danny’s been fascinated by Lucia since the first sight he had of her, and Nonna wants her protected. But can he keep her for himself, protect her from those that stalk her, nurture her growing dreams and still be Jimmy’s iron fist?
The Don’s Money Man (Mafia Mate. Book Three.)
Max was eager for the chance to get away from the office. He could work from anywhere, after all. His assignment? Check up on one of the prospective employees the corporation was considering as a new hire. He’d seen her during the interviews and hadn’t been able to forget. Now, with Jimmy suspicious of the woman’s intentions and his colleague and friend Mario suddenly missing, Max seizes his chance to get his second look. Even if he isn’t actually leaving the state, the opportunity to try out his investigative skills in the field, instead of digitally, is too good to pass up. But what he learns about Gylden Treherder changes everything.
The Don’s Diplomat (Mafia Mate. Book Four.)
Mario was supposed to meet with the head of the Dinapoli family and deliver Savaggio condolences on the loss of Don Dinapoli’s grandson. He didn’t give a damn about the unlamented Ricardo Dinapoli, but his role as consigliere for the Savaggio family in upper New York meant he had the duty of soothing over any tensions that could result from that bastard’s death. But instead of fronting the elderly iron-fisted ruler of the clan and Ricardo’s father, Mario is forcibly abducted by a seductively beautiful woman, Regina, and her close friend, Greta. Regina Antonia Dinapoli lost her parents to assassination by a mafia rival. She’s inherited a fortune that she can use to escape the family business, but when she sees Mario Lucchese, she realizes she needs to protect him, too. She doesn’t understand why the beautiful man isn’t grateful for her intervention, but he’ll understand. Eventually.

The Troubled Knight (Misbegotten Misses, Book 3)
Sir Peter Devon spends his nights fleecing London’s young bucks, but when Fate traps him in her delicious coils, he must surrender or flee.
Sir Peter Devon inherited a baronetcy, survived a war, was knighted and spent too much time fleecing London’s naive rich. Gambling was—his mother often said—an immature way to spend the dark hours he spent awake, but he was unsuited to the normal life of a rich gentlemen. But Fate, in the form of friendly fire, trapped him anyway.
In his attempt to rescue a young girl from a corrupt and immoral ex-officer, he found himself engaged and quickly married to the chit. Abandoning her to the chaperonage of his mother was straightforward enough, but the girl didn’t stay young. Fate’s trap became a delicious torment. If he could only be certain that he wouldn’t lose his mind, he would want to keep her.
Genevieve, once an earl’s daughter but truly the bastard daughter of a duke and now a wife-in-name-only, is tired of waiting for Sir Peter Devon to see that she’s no longer sixteen. He’s watched over her, guarded her, supported her, appeared on command to escort her, called on her for twenty minutes at a time in his mother’s drawing room and even pandered to her desire to immerse herself in art and the country, when she believes he prefers the smoky gaming hells of London. Her hero has always been Sir Peter. He can be more than an absentee husband, and she doesn’t understand why he is so reticent when he clearly desires her. One way or another, they are together for life. Eventually he will let her be close to him. Won’t he?
