In the Shadows: A Barresi Crime Family Romance
by Lux MillerPublish: May 16, 2019Series: BarresiBook Overview
Kidnapped and claimed as the spoils of war. My captor is dark, demented, and dangerous — everything I was warned to stay away from. Yet, I’m drawn to him like a moth to a flame, and the lust that fans the fire is evolving into something else… something that could wreck me if I let it take hold. His name strikes fear into anyone who crosses him, but despite the warnings of even those close to him, I’ve allowed myself to fall for the prodigal prince of New Orleans’ underground criminal empire. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, but Luca never had any use for the law, anyway. The crime lord owns me. No longer pretending, the passion between us burns white-hot, but Luca has enemies everywhere. As the heat rises, so does the threat from an unseen enemy with a very clear message — they’re coming for Luca and will destroy everything and everyone that stands in their way. When the enemy storms the gates, will we rise together from the ashes of war? Or will we go down in flames when they raze his empire to the ground?
