Treasured: a Dark Mafia Romance
Coming 3/15!
Livia Rossi fled Manhattan four years ago, desperate to get away from the fierce protection of her Uncle Michael, the don of their family. When he suspects danger is on the horizon, he sends Dante Castellano to watch over her. What begins as a precautionary surveillance mission soon turns into much more. Dante has watched Livia from afar, but it isn’t until now that he sees her for who she is. She’s creative, beautiful, and there’s a storm inside her that reminds him of himself. He’s consumed by his allure to her, and his guilt toward his boss and closest friend. When the stakes are raised, he’s forced to decide what’s more important—loyalty, or the woman he loves.
