Resplendent

Mobster Francesco Romano screwed with the wrong man's wife. Now he needs a respectable woman at his side instead of the target on his back. Who better than the bright-eyed, yet lonely writer who spilled her wine on him?

Serafina Silvano sells stories of love she's never lived, naïvely mistaking charm for kindness. It's a dangerous error in a city where softness can get you killed. When Francesco draws her into an arrangement to pose as his companion for a few staged dinners, the illusion of affection she's only written about proves too tempting to resist.

Going in, she knows it's all supposed to be just an act. Yet every glance lasts too long. Every touch burns too hot. When he breathes her name against her skin, she can't tell if what trembles through her is desire or fear. When he warns that none of it means a thing, she swears she'll eep her distance.

They're both lying.

And when the danger closing in finally reaches her, the most perilous man in Manhattan may be the only one who can keep her alive.
