His Vicious Desire (Vicious Vegas, #2)

"You're many things, princess. Worth dying for isn't one of them." It's something Gaetano has said often. Because if he ever touched me, my brother would kill him, best friend or not. He promised our mother, as she lay dying, that I would never be involved with anyone from the mafia. I would never know more of the world that she blamed for ruining her life.
So, falling in love with Gaetano was the worst thing I could have done for both of us. On the night of my eighteenth birthday party, I crashed into him, and nothing feels like it will be the same again—including me.
Three years of longing exploded in a moment neither one of us thought would happen. The lie wasn't planned. When he realized he didn't have birth control, I told him that he didn't need it, terrified he'd find another excuse once the heat of the moment passed. The thing about growing up with the Outfit is that you learn things, like how to get what you want through manipulation to avoid bloodshed. So I keep lying because my brother won't kill the father of my baby, member of the Outfit or not. But will Gaetano forgive me when he finds out I lied and got pregnant on purpose?
While this book features Sandro and Carina from His Vicious Vow, you need not have read it to enjoy this. This is a standalone romance featuring a plus-size woman and a jealous, possessive mafia man with no third-act break-up and rough scenes some may find offensive.

Due to commitment issues I have lived in many different cities and my favorite is Chicago but I have managed to settle into Austin and perhaps my commitment issues are behind me.
I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and it wasn't long before the children books bored me and I read the books my mother enjoyed Stephen King and Dean Koontz and I didn't sleep without the light on until I was about ten.
I came across my first Harlequin by accident and it was love at first read, no one died and happy endings? It was a whole new world and I loved it.
I wrote my first story at eight and everyone died, of course. Since then I would like to think I've gotten better and now I'm writing the happily ever afters I first fell in love with, with some hot sex thrown in along the way.
As a plus size woman myself, I have started writing the stories I always wanted to see myself in but never did. And now I'm ecstatic to give BBWs the happily ever afters with hot Alphas they so rarely get.
