Her Romeo: New York Rogues: Rossi Anniversary Edition

JOSEPH

Sloane Brennan, daughter of the Irish mob boss, used to be my partner in crime. Now she's forbidden fruit… and leverage. My father has ordered me to take her to Italy and turn her over to the man who will hold her hostage.

He thinks it's simple.

I know it's not.

Because nothing about Sloane is simple. And this trip just reminds me of everything I love about her. Her smell. Her sharp tongue. That red hair that I want to tangle my fingers in as I have my way with her.

My job is to transport Sloane and drop her off. Then get back home and collect my reward.

Falling in love with her again is not an option. What I want was never part of this deal.

And playing her hero now, when so much is at stake?

That's just going to get us both killed.

SLOANE

I should have known better. I thought I could escape the mob. Get a degree. Work on the right side of the law.

But Joseph Rossi always has to make things complicated.

One day I'm doing my job, and the next I've been taken. Thrown on a plane and told to sit down and shut up, because I'm nothing more than a pawn in a game between powerful men. And Joseph Rossi, my one-time best friend and lover, is the guy doing the kidnapping.

But when we get to Italy, it becomes obvious that Joseph's not the one in charge.

Equally obvious: He wants me just as badly as he ever has. And despite the betrayal, I haven't forgotten the way his body feels. I should hate him. I should want to kill him for what he's done.

I don't.

And when everything goes sideways, I only have two choices: either team up with the man who got me into this mess, or stay here and face the consequences of his mistakes.

I'm not ready to die. But I don't know if I'm ready to trust Joseph Rossi, either.

Because the last time I trusted him, he broke my heart.

Her Romeo is the second book in Sloane and Joseph's story, which started in His Obsession and finishes in Her Hero. The book includes Romeo and Juliet themes, kidnapping, car chases, stalkers, and heroes, plus enough tension and spice to make you want a Joseph Rossi of your very own.

Note: Each couple's story contains a full plot and can be read separately. Suggested reading order is His Obsession, Her Romeo, Her Hero, Her Target, Her Keeper, Her Rebellion, and Her Master, but His Obsession, Her Romeo, Her Target, and Her Rebellion are all entry points to the series. Supplementary books to the series are Dare You and Tell Me, which take place inside the series with a secondary character.
