Consigliere’s Revenge by Via Mari

A powerful mafioso with revenge on his mind. A reporter who needs to be controlled. Will loyalty be stronger than his need to protect the woman who poses the gravest threat of all?

Everyone expects retaliation from the Larussio Crime Family after the brutal attack by our rivals and the kidnapping of our innocent cousin.
The job of ensuring our retribution is well-thought-out, precise, and maintains our family’s position in the crime world falls to me, Lorenzo Larussio, Consigliere to the Boss and Underboss of our family.
My mind is absorbed with nothing but that…
Until the beautiful reporter who calls to my dark, sinister soul shows up at our casino, dressed to kill, leaving me unable to rid her from my mind.
Izzy Arden’s article hits a little too close to home, and it’s up to me to ensure our secrets remain buried like those of our dead and not inked all over the world for everyone to see.
The fiery beauty is a force to be reckoned with, though, and not easily subdued. She fights for the truth no matter the danger, her emotional scars and mistrust pushing her to write about our most sacred traditions, even knowing the threat it may bring.
Our enemies see her as a way to get to me. They shouldn’t have come for her, though, because now they’ll see why rumored in the back-alley streets of Italy, they whisper Cosa Nostra with fear.
They will pay dearly for taking what does not belong to them, but will it cost me the one woman I’ve ever loved when she sees me for who I really am?
