Vito by Lora Nox

Deciding to come back to find my brother’s murderer?

Easy.

Staying away from the one who could get me killed?

Not so easy.

Eden

Nine years ago, I ran from this city. Now, I’ve returned to find my brother’s murderer.

To do that, I take his place as Gilly’s owner-operator – the one place in San Francisco’s criminal underworld where it’s a neutral zone, and there’s a clear you-shall-not-cross line drawn between me and the criminals.

That is, until Vito Santoro…

To him, I’m his Garden of Eden, and he was made to sin with me.

Vito

I’m the protector of my mafia family, and they come first. And that’s fine because I’m a one-and-done man and no woman has captured my interest for more.

But when I lay eyes on Gilly’s new owner-operator–the forbidden fruit that could result in my death–I can’t stay away. I promise myself one bite. Then two.

And when those who killed her brother target her… Well, then, my unhinged beast comes out to play.

Because Eden is mine. My forbidden fruit. My one-and-forever. My undoing. And I’ll paint the world red for her.

Dive into Vito, the captivating 2nd book in the mafia romance Santoro Mafia series, which features Vito and Eden’s story. It includes an MMC with possessive, “touch her and I’ll unalive you” vibes. There’s no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a HEA is guaranteed. This is a standalone book; however, for the best reading experience, it’s suggested to read the books in order.
