BLURB
Adriano Montesi’s life has always revolved around
women, his family, and the Chicago Syndicate. As a Capo and Luca DeMiliano’s right hand man, he’s one of the four
highest ranking men in the organization, and he’s fought many to maintain his
position.
Adriano’s current assignment is locating Camilla
Guillermo, the one woman who’s captured his attention beyond a simple fuck. He
and Cam have a history together that no one knows about, and now that she’s
disappeared, he’s eager to find her and discover her sordid past. What might
seem like a routine mission has become an obsession for Adriano.
Italian beauty, Camilla Guillermo, is lost and alone
in the world. Running away from a past that haunts her and the man that deceived
her. But wherever she goes, Adriano is always with her, always in her thoughts.
Out of money and out of options, Cam has no place to
turn but back to the Loop, back to the one place she wants to avoid.
When Adriano finds Camilla, everything between them
will change. No matter how much they are drawn to each other, Cam is now off limits
by boss’s orders. And in the Chicago Syndicate, you don’t defy the boss’s
orders unless you’re prepared to live with the consequences.
A romantic suspense.

EXCERPT
Adriano’s point of view
As I climb the stairs to the strip club of the
Syndicate’s three-story headquarters, located alongside the North Shore of
Chicago’s suburbs, I already recognize voices coming from the room at the end
of the hall.
I’m greeted by Luca and James who are in the middle of
the room beside the rounded burgundy sofa. I nod to both of them and fix my
focus on the unknown woman with an attractive bob standing next to James. I’m
usually not a fan of women with short hair, but who is this delectable
creature?
James takes his cue to introduce us. “Adriano, meet
Camilla. She’ll be working here at the club from now on.”
Why did he suddenly
hire someone new? We’re not understaffed.
I can’t help but stare at her. My god, her legs go on
forever; she’s just a bit shorter than I am, and I’m over six feet tall. I
inspect her body slowly, like no one is watching, and when I reach her face,
I’m pleasantly stunned that she’s challenging me with an arc of her perfectly
shaped eyebrow. Her eyes are deep brown, heavily lashed, and slightly tilted up
at the corners. Her cheeks are delicately boned. She looks absolutely
appetizing in a tight, black knee-length dress. Sexy, yet not too revealing. In
other words, she’s smokin’ hot!
“Camilla, nice to meet you.” I go old-school, take her
hand in mine, and kiss her knuckles.
Luca hides an eye-roll, but I catch it and grin.
“Adriano,” she says huskily.
Her voice is hoarse. Hoarse in the sexiest way I’ve
ever encountered. I didn’t expect that sensual voice to accompany this striking
woman that smells like vanilla. With her, my obsession for vanilla ignited.
“Welcome to our little establishment.” Then I address
James while holding on to her hand, “What will she be doing here?”
“Bartending,” James answers.
“Then I better show her the ropes.” I let the pad of
my thumb swirl over her fingers, and she shivers noticeably; she’s not immune
to my charms.
And I guide this interesting woman with me to the bar,
which is a stainless steel and black granite area that’s open at each end and
set up like a juice bar.
She speaks before we step behind it. “I can make
drinks.”
Her simple statement has me confused.
“You look like you don’t believe I can tend the bar,”
she elaborates.
Oh no, sweetheart, I’m
not doubting your qualifications. I’m just staggered by the sex vibes you’re
throwing around with that voice and those gorgeous lean legs.
I smirk while extending my hand, inviting her behind
the bar. “No, I believe you.”
That was the first night I tried to get Cam into my
bed. I failed that night and for over three months after and almost gave up my
chase, but it was too much fun to try to capture her.
I don’t even think she liked me at first.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born in South America in 1984
and raised in Europe where I presently reside with my fiancé.
I read many genres but favor
intense, dark, seductive, and provocative novels where the male character loves
fiercely, without remorse or boundaries. I also adore forbidden love tales and
have an odd fascination with kidnapping romances. No, I don't secretly want to
be kidnapped, though!
I have a passionate obsession with
the written word and indulge in chocolate pastries much too often.
My debut novel For Fallon (Chicago Syndicate, #1) was released on July 26, 2014.
I’m honored that For Fallon won “Best
Breakout Novel 2014” in the Novel Grounds Semi Annual Literary Awards.
