Hostage to His Better Angels
Getting kidnapped by the mob was not on Sophia Gallo's law school bingo card. Neither was discovering that her captor has a philosophy degree, excellent taste in wine, and cheekbones that could cut glass.
As the daughter of the federal prosecutor determined to dismantle New York's crime families, Sophia has always been a pawn in someone else's game. But when the rival Konstantin organization abducts her, she expects torture and threats, not stimulating debates about Kant over gourmet dinners.
Luca Konstantin is everything a mob heir shouldn't be - educated, conflicted, and trapped by a deathbed promise to his father that keeps him shackled to a legacy he never wanted. What starts as captivity in his upstate estate evolves into something far more complex as Sophia discovers the man behind the criminal surname might just be the most dangerous temptation of all.
Their verbal sparring is electric. Their chemistry is undeniable. But between her father's crusade and his family's expectations, falling for each other could be a death sentence for them both.
As the war between their families escalates and betrayals stack up on both sides, Sophia and Luca must decide what they're willing to sacrifice for freedom - and whether love is worth risking everything they've ever known.
Smart, sexy, and sparkling with wit, Hostage to His Better Angels delivers enemies-to-lovers tension, morally gray characters you'll root for anyway, and proof that sometimes the best relationships start with a felony. Perfect for readers who like their romance with a side of danger and their heroes struggling between duty and desire.
Can a law student and a reluctant crime boss rewrite their families' legacies, or will the sins of their fathers destroy their chance at happiness?
--- Sample Reading Extract ---
Sophia Gallo had three problems. First, she'd been kidnapped. Second, her captor was Luca Konstantin, reluctant heir to the crime family warring with her federal prosecutor father. Third, he was annoyingly attractive and actually read the philosophy books on his shelves.
