Deceive Me Mercifully

By: Mads, A. V.

How do you keep a secret when the man you love is trained to collect them?

As the only Selvaggio heir left, I was a prize my enemies would hunt to the ends of the earth. Most wanted as a bride to the brutal Salvatore Russo, I needed an escape. The crime world needed to believe me dead.

So, I drowned the mafia princess in the river and emerged as Ida Sarto.

A woman with a quiet life, I now spend my days protecting my baseball-obsessed son and working the family boutique. I am nobody. I blend in, just the way I like.

Then Jameson McIntire came. He's everything I should avoid: a persistent FBI agent with devastating blue eyes and a mission to find the "ghost" I left behind. If he wasn't the one man who could dismantle my carefully constructed lies, he would fit into my future perfectly.

The man's interest in me doesn't end with his case. Jameson wants my safety, my demands, and most unnervingly, my love. He's protective, and undeniably dangerous. As his investigation circles closer to the truth, I'm caught between the psycho ex out for blood and the paramour who may never forgive my deception.

When both pieces of me are unearthed, will Jameson be the one to save me? Or will my secrets be the death of us all?
