Ruthless People

J.J. McAvoy

Book 1 of Ruthless People

This dark mafia romance follows Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan, heirs to rival Italian and Irish crime families in modern-day Chicago, whose fathers force them into a marriage meant to end decades of bloodshed. Both are ruthless power players who expect to dominate the other, but as outside threats mount against their combined families, their icy rivalry is forced into an uneasy, dangerous partnership. It's a fast, violent, morally gray romance built more on power and respect than sweetness, ending on a cliffhanger that pushes into the next book.
