Dante

Sadie Kincaid

Book 1 of Chicago Ruthless

When her brother can't pay off a ruinous debt to the Chicago mob, Kat Evanson is taken as collateral by Dante Moretti, the city's ice-cold Cosa Nostra boss with a violent reputation. Forced into close quarters and eventually marriage, the two begin a volatile push-pull as Kat's own hidden trauma and Dante's buried motives for past bloodshed slowly come to light. It's a dark, forced-proximity mafia romance about two guarded people learning to trust again amid danger, family politics, and old secrets. The story is told as a standalone entry in a connected series centered on the Moretti siblings.
