Michael Caldwell —medical examiner, odd, blood obsessed. His new life in Chicago consists of performing autopsies and eating chips while watching old detective series. Until… “He’s suddenly standing in front of me. Leather jacket, washed-out jeans, jet black hair. His deep, green eyes are so intense on me I can barely breathe. It’s in his crooked smile, bold flirting and confident—borderline conceited—behavior that I get lost. The fact that he protects me five minutes later during an attempted robbery only reinforces my crazy-instant attraction toward him, though. But there are shadows hiding in his gaze. And his apathetic yet possessive attitude confuses me. Makes me care. Makes me crave. But then secrets come out and my life turns into a thriller movie. Now I’m left wondering how this all started. And when the answer comes, I know I can never go back to my uneventful life. Would I even want to? Would I be able to leave him? ‘Never again’, he whispers.” WARNING-This is not a sci-fi angel story, unless you see eager vigilantes with a dark side as angels. This is an action packed romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features an over the top possessive psychopath, and a peculiar medical examiner with a stomach made of steel. There’s violence, torture (only of very bad people), dark humor, amazing side characters and very spicy scenes with blood play. Morality’s grey area is quite stretched in this story. This is book one in the Angels of Wrath Series. Each book follows a different couple.

The Family comes first. I’ve been part of the Leone family since Don Massimo took me in when I was a boy. Now I sit beside his son, il capo, Don Sebastiano. Being a mobster is all I know and want.Even when betrayal comes knocking at my door. A teasing smile, the most striking cloud-gray eyes, an androgynous body wrapped in lingerie and a belly chain around his narrow hips. Can a man be pretty? I must be drunker than I thought to wonder such a thing. Fly. That’s what another man calls him before a whiskey bottle is smashed on his head. My tailored Italian suit is ruined, and Fly owes me now. When he proposes a way to repay his debt, I decide to go along with it even though my misanthropic nature protests vigorously. I feel a sense of deep irritation when he acts unbothered by my menacing threats. Getting information from him before getting rid of him was my goal, but the urge to keep him close grows stronger, as does the desire to have another peek at those scraps of lace he likes to wear underneath his clothes. Nevertheless, I won’t make the same mistake twice, because I’m Marco “the Knuckle” Moretti. And if he’s working for another family, nothing and no one will stop me from unleashing my vendetta upon him. This is book one in the Mafia Babes series, a dark, action packed, grumpy/sunshine, MM romance. Most characters in this series are morally gray, ruthless, and rough criminals. The first book features a short-tempered, rude, arrogant Mafia boss and a fearless, unstoppable, cheeky twink. There are very rough s*x scenes between the MCs, a breeding kink, bi-awakening, c**k warming, and male lingerie. The story contains on-page descriptions of violence, torture, a physical assault, discussions of domestic abuse, and gun use. Morality’s gray area is quite stretched in this story. Please check the more detailed triggers at the beginning of the book. Each book follows a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but because of the recurrent characters reading them in order will give a more complete sense of the stories.
