Matteo — Carole Mortimer

Matteo Zalotti has won the battle to regain control of his London mafia empire. Now he intends to confirm his place with the other mafia families around the world by marrying the only daughter of the New York mafia don, Luca Brunelli.

The very last thing Matteo needs right now is to take one look at the prim and proper Grace Morrissy and be driven almost insane with the desire and longing to take her and make her his own.

Matteo Zalotti isn't like any other man Grace has ever met. He's so much more. More handsome. More wealthy. More powerful. More intense. More dangerous. Everything about the man, from his glittering blue eyes, expertly tousled dark hair, bespoke suits, and handmade Italian leather shoes, sends out red warning signals. But that warning is a temptation in itself for someone who has always lived by the rules. Ultimately, it proves to be a danger Grace can't resist.

But no one crosses Luca Brunelli and lives.
