Once the most feared member of an Italian Mafia crime family, Gabriel Moretti returns to New York at the request of his mentor, Russian crime boss Vasily Tarasov. Vasily needs someone he can trust in Seattle to protect his estranged daughter, Eva Jacobs, while he avenges the murder of the young woman’s mother. Gabriel is unstoppable in a fight, whether he’s using fists, blades, or bullets; but innocent, onyx-haired Eva may just be the most dangerous—and beautiful—thing he’s come up against. Intense sparks fly between the two, tempting Gabriel to mix business with pleasure while in the Emerald City. But once word gets around that Gabriel has shown up in New York, Stefano—his vengeful brother and the de facto head of the family—decides that Eva is the key to ending the feud between them…permanently. In this pulse-pounding romantic thriller set against the backdrop of New York City’s storied underworld, loyalties will be tested, secrets will be told, and mob justice will be served.

After years of solitude, Tish O’Malley made the mistake of assuming happiness was finally hers. But before she can relax her guard and enjoy her protective—albeit secretive—Sergeant at Arms, another selfish choice made by her unconscionable drug-addict mother brings about deadly consequences. With Rachel conveniently tucked away behind bars, her massive debt is laid at Tish’s feet. Josh “The Guardian” Sylvan knew when he claimed his young queen, her well-being would become his life’s purpose. When her mother’s senseless idiocy brings his estranged father’s notorious club to town, to protect Tish, Josh must consider taking out a member of the Obsidian Devils MC. Can he risk it all? Jeopardize his brothers and their families as they stand at his back, preparing to fight this personal battle? Everything changes when Josh discovers his and Tish’s love has produced the one thing that will bind her to his side forever. Only then does indecision flee, and possessive rage takes over. **Blind Faith can be read as a standalone, but reading Blind Devotion (book 1) is highly recommended as it features the same couple.

Con il suo fisico imponente, segnato dai tatuaggi e celato sotto i completi di alta sartoria che indossa, Maksim Kirov ottiene sempre ciò che vuole, sia all’interno del club per gentiluomini che gestisce, sia in camera da letto. Dal carisma travolgente, spietato e irriverente, ossessionato dal controllo, spicca come uno degli animi più oscuri dell’entourage del Pakhan, Vasily Tarasov. Da ragazzino quando viveva in Russia, Maksim ha frequentato un’accademia molto particolare: lì ha anche imparato i modi più abili e veloci per uccidere un uomo, nonché le torture più efficaci per spingere un prigioniero a parlare. Una volta giunto negli Stati Uniti al fianco di Vasily, ha scalato i vertici dell’organizzazione criminale dei Tarasov e ora gode del rispetto che si deve a un leader. Le attenzioni femminili non gli sono mai mancate, finché un giorno conosce Sydney Martin e tra i due la chimica è elettrizzante e impossibile da ignorare. Sydney gestisce a sua volta un nightclub poco distante da quello di Maksim e cerca di proteggere non solo la propria privacy e l’attività che porta avanti con passione, ma anche il proprio cuore. Purtroppo finisce per rimanere invischiata in un brutto affare con un cartello della droga messicano, che non le lascia altra scelta se non quella di rivolgersi a Maksim e alla famiglia Tarasov per ottenere aiuto. La soluzione che le viene proposta la lascerà senza fiato: lei e Maksim dovranno fingere di stare insieme agli occhi di tutti, perché essere la donna di Maksim è ciò che la rende inattaccabile. Cedere all’attrazione che scorre fra i due potrebbe salvare entrambi o distruggere le loro vite, insieme allo sconvolgente segreto che Sydney custodisce a costo della sua stessa vita. Amore, lussuria, lealtà e vendetta si scontrano negli inferi malavitosi di New York in questo bruciante terzo volume autoconclusivo della serie “Wanted men”.
