Chantilly
I thought escaping the sadistic don of the O'Malley mafia was my salvation. I was wrong.
I’ve been captured by Valentino Barone—deadly enforcer for the rival Agostino family and the most dangerous man I've ever encountered. Where the don broke my body, Valentino threatens something far worse: he's making me believe I might be safe. The cruelest torture isn't his fists—it's the terrifying possibility that I could trust him, only to watch him destroy me when I'm foolish enough to hope.
I escaped once. I can do it again—or die trying.
I'm an award winning author who loves to write scorching hot contemporary and science fiction romance—stories I love to read. I love working from home, where my office window looks out over our 'block' of fourteen acres with gorgeous mountain views. After enjoying a stint as a foster carer for cats, I now have seven felines to entertain me, along with two dogs and two horses. But only when I'm not distracted by my three gorgeous daughters, one of whom—a teenager *shriek*—is still living at home. As for my husband…he's still waiting for retirement.
