After eleven years in prison, Don Luca is everything I should hate—ruthless, dangerous, and completely off-limits.
At thirty-two, I'm the federal prosecutor transferred to Atlantic City to argue against Conti's release and keep organized crime's most feared don locked away.
But the judge rules against me and orders Luca’s freedom, and my mission changes to finding a way to send him back to prison and curtail the mob’s activities.
But when Luca finds his way into my bedroom in the middle of the night, his hands are gentle despite his reputation, and the way he shields me from danger awakens needs I’ve denied my entire career.
When he opens up about his daughter’s betrayal, I see the wounded man beneath the monster everyone fears.
I’ve fallen for the enemy I’m supposed to destroy.
Then rival families make me their target, my career crumbles, and everything I’ve built shatters around me.
I’m preparing to walk away from his dangerous world when two pink lines appear.
Now I’m carrying the child of Atlantic City’s most feared crime boss—and choosing him means betraying everything I’ve sworn to uphold, including the oath that once defined my entire existence.

MY 5 STAR REVIEW- titled: Dark Romance with plenty of feels
The story opens with Luca is standing in a courtroom after 11 years in prison waiting to find if this is the time that he will finding get out ! His brother Roberto stands with him as his very smart attorney. His sons, 28 year old Vito, 26 year old Nico, and his daughter Caterina who wants to be an account which surprised Luca. She's whip smart but it still surprised him. Of course his oldest daughter Lucia, the one who betrayed him and put him in prison isn't there. Nor is her husband Nick Dixon, who Luca hates with a passion. Rich Nick bought up the prison and made Luca's life a living hell. Luca wasn't even there for his wife when she was dying of cancer. That was so emotional !! In fact, the whole story was highly emotional and kept me engaged!
And Elena, the federal prosecutor? Wow, what a woman ! She's fiercely devoted to justice, the law ! Now, she has a HUGE problem. Not only is she so attracted to Luca but she's surprised when she starts to like some of his family ! They all become fiercely protective of her and their future sibling. That pregnancy was a potential end of her career. It sure made me wonder how all of this was going to work out. And what about her boss, Miles Hart? What does he know? Is he really as honest as he seems?
The story has a great ending and I'm so glad that I got to read this book through Booksprout.
----extra notes Vito was the son who couldn't stand still, always wanting action and violence. Nico, was the quiet one but also smart; always watching, observing.
Elena and Luca outsmart everyone- she keeps her lawyer's license and more !
