Fox

When I was hired to kill Cristiano Fiore, I thought I’d get in, take the shot, and get out. I didn’t count on the explosion. I didn’t count on him rescuing me.

I didn’t count on him taking care of me, dominating me, and giving me the best sex of my life. I didn’t expect the word “Daddy” to make me feel so safe. He’s making it harder and harder for me to go back to my old life.

I know this can’t last. I know he doesn’t mean it. But every minute together makes me hope for the one thing I haven’t dared dream of: a place to belong.

Cristiano

Mafia life is full of danger, so it’s no surprise when I find myself the target of an assassin… but the subsequent explosion seems like overkill.

When it becomes clear that someone is trying to take out both of us, the only choice is to work together. I’ve never been a caregiver, or a Daddy, before, but there’s something about Fox that makes me want to take care of him in every way imaginable — including the bedroom.

But when the dust settles and we solve this puzzle, can I really trust someone who tried to kill me not to try again?

Kyran

I have a secret. I’m gay, and I’m submissive. My family can’t ever find out, because if they do, they’ll disown me at best. The son of the Winters Gang leader can’t be gay…

And he definitely can’t be in a relationship with Silvano Cresci, the new head of our most hated rival gang. I can’t stop thinking about him. I can’t stop lusting for him, and the way he made me submit, the way he could get me to the edge with just a few words and touches. I’ve never met anyone else who could push my buttons so well.

But I’m done with him. After he betrayed me, I vowed never to see him ever again.

Unfortunately, Silvano has other ideas—and I can’t help but be drawn into his sphere again. He’s so sure I’m going to be his perfect pet, but I refuse to go down without a fight.

But my body remembers all too well what it’s like to be dominated by him, and he’s getting harder and harder to resist…

Helios

I’ve been taking care of myself for as long as I can remember. Kicked out as a teen, living on the streets, earning money in whatever manner I could, my life has never been easy.

Now Evan, a mafia enforcer, has taken a liking to me, and he thinks he can own me, control me. Well, he can fuck right off. I’m never going to be dependent on anyone else ever again.

Because if I start to fall for him, if I start to rely on him, it’ll hurt even worse when he inevitably decides to dump me just like everybody else does.

Knives

I thought I was over it–over him. But eight years after he betrayed me, we’re suddenly working for the same organization. It’s impossible to be professional when all I can think about is how much I want to hurt him, make him suffer the way I suffered.

And how much I want to completely wreck him, until he’s a mess of pleasure and pain.

I know I can’t trust him. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t stay away.

Maddox

I never expected to see Knives again. I put that part of my life behind me. Yet now we’re both made men in the same organization. Worse: the boss is forcing us to work together.

There’s no way for me to apologize. I’ll take whatever he gives me, the good and the bad. I deserve to suffer.

Sometimes, I can’t help but wish that I deserved to be happy, too.
