Kiss Pro Quo

Vince Sangiovanni
Family is everything.
It’s an ideal that’s been drilled into me since I was a kid, and now that I’m the top capo in the Sangiovanni crime family in Ridge City, that’s a sword I live and am willing to die by.
Which is the only reason why my baby sister gets away with sending me on a special errand in preparation for her New Year’s Eve charity gala.
When I walk into the jewelry store of one of my father’s most loyal friends, I catch sight of his niece.
She’s beautiful. Innocent. Sweet. Mouthwatering curves and lips I need to taste.
Suddenly, I can’t think of anything else except making her mine.
Problem is, she hates anything and anyone connected to this life.
And that includes me.
I want her, and I’m a man who always gets what he wants.
She might be my biggest challenge yet.

When I move back to Ridge City, I go to work as the lead jewelry designer at my uncle’s store, designing pieces for his most VIP clients.
I know who he calls his “friends,” and while I don’t judge him, that’s not me.
But when Vince Sangiovanni, son of one of the most notorious gangsters in the city who happens to be my uncle’s dear friend, comes into the store on an errand for his sister’s charity gala, the axis of my entire world tilts on its side.
He’s tall, dark, and sinfully gorgeous with eyes that pierce right to my very soul.
He’s also a criminal.
My father died because of this life. I refuse to have anything to do with it.
But the more I try to pull away, the more entangled I get.
And the closer Vince comes to me.
He represents everything I hate…
But I just can’t help falling in love with him anyway.
