Let her fear me. Only me. Growing up as a sheltered Irish mob princess, my trip to Italy is supposed to be my first taste of freedom. But my dreamy vacation turns into a nightmare when I end up getting kidnapped, tortured, and locked inside a cage. The only person who might save me is the blue-eyed devil. He’s feared and revered — even by my kidnappers. But when his dark gaze lands on me, I can tell he’s got other plans. Now my prison is his bedroom and his bed. He’s dark and dangerous, and I’m his newest obsession. Until the day he finds out who I am. When he decides to send me back to Daddy dearest, I should be relieved. But Gabriele Falcone has no idea it’s not just me he’s sending away. And once he realizes I’m carrying the Falcone family heir? Nothing and no one will stop him from taking me back. Tropes: dark mafia romance, enemies to lovers, forbidden romance, age gap, forced proximity.

About the Author: After 15 years of working everything “computer” (sometimes even inside them), and helping people with their tech problems. Working through starting a family & missing too much time with her beautiful babies, because she wanted to be perfect in every area of her life, Kat Bammer stopped & reassessed. (midlife crisis – anyone?) A lifelong reader, contemporary romance had always given her the trusted escape when mayhem at home, or stress at work, threatened to do her in. Her first book idea came in the form of a nightmare and propelled her into the adventure of being an author with a pounding heart & a mind full of dreams & ideas. Her debut novel Love You Still launched on leap day of 2020 and marked the beginning of a wonderful and exciting new journey. Since then, she’s busy giving the protective heroes in her head the love stories they deserve (even if they don’t think love is something they might want or need). But trust the strong women they fall in love with to convince them otherwise. Small-town settings, thrilling moments, overcoming hardship and chosen family are some of the common themes in her stories. And the strong belief that love and friendship can conquer all and are the most important ingredients to overcome anything that stands in the way of us becoming the person we were born to be and finding our own Happy Ever After.
