If you like KA Tucker books I feel like you’ll like this one. It has the mafia aspect but there is a build up to it. Mercy and Gabriel meet in a prison each visiting there father’s. Mercy’s father is in prison for protecting his daughter and Gabriel’s father because he is the head of a mafia family. Gabriel strikes a deal with Mercy, stay with him for a week for her father’s protection in prison. She begins to see Gabriel in a different light the more time they spend and she is feeling a little less like it is because of their deal and beginning to want to actually spend time with him. Their spice level when they are finally together is great. In order to get her to stay beyond the length of their deal, Gabriel strikes another deal with her about her father but also lies about what he actually does and then starts to scramble to get out the business they actually belong in.
