That Feeling when the man you just robbed and left tied up and blindfolded turns out to be in the mafia…
I'm not proud of the things I've had to do for money to pay off my dad's debts and put my younger brother through college. But I'll never regret it.
What I do regret is accidentally robbing a Moretti.
Having to look over my shoulder and ducking every time a car backfires is bad enough, but when the man in question starts costing me business? Yeah, I think we’re going to have a problem.
I never knew I could feel the way I do when Luca Moretti gets on his knees for me, but I don’t have time to be romanced by this obsessed, submissive, mafioso.
No one has ever made me feel as strong and capable as he does. Can I really be the viper he sees me as? If I learn how to bite, can I finally make my life my own with Luca Moretti at my side?
Is there such thing as love at first bar fight?
I may be small and pretty, but what I lack in intimidation factor, I make up for in violence.
I made a vow five years ago that the motorcycle club responsible for my brother’s death would pay the price, and I’m finally ready to collect. May God have mercy on the men who hurt my brother, because I don’t plan to.
Accidentally breaking the nose of the deadliest man in the city wasn’t my best move. Xaviaro Saviano, trigger man for the Moretti Crime Family... and now my own personal stalker. But if I have to go through him to deliver well-deserved justice, so be it.
As strange as it sounds, Xaviaro seems to want to help me more than he wants to hurt me. I can’t shake the man no matter what I do. Threatening him feels like foreplay, tying him up only turns him on… I could play nice, but that’s never been my strong suit.
Anders has been desperate for a while, and he’s been doing anything he has to do to deal with his life. He sacrifices himself for his little brother and basically has to disassociate himself from his own life just to get through it. He is cynical, antagonistic, smart, secretive, and protective.
One night, he runs into Luca Moretti, and he has no idea how spending a night with him is going to change his life. Luca actually tapped into something that makes Anders feel empowered, but it doesn’t stop him from trying to line his own pockets. But when he figures out Luca is a foot soldier for a big crime family, he knows it’s gonna be trouble.

But when he figures out Luca is a foot soldier for a big crime family, he knows it’s gonna be trouble.
And Luca saw a spark in Anders, and he is just the kind of man that intrigues him...seemingly innocent with a bite. Anders is more of a twink, but he is not submissive. He can handle and challenge Luca and tear him apart. So Luca is not ready to let that go, becomes a bit stalkery and possessive, but he has his own good intentions.
These two are both dangerous in their own ways, and together they are combustible. Their outside facades give off one impression, but they are different in the bedroom, and they are quite compatible. They thrive on power exchanges and pushing each other to the edge. They have the potential to be a match made in Heaven or Hell depending on whose opinion it is.
But I loved seeing Anders find someone who actually sees him, has his back, and supports him since he has been trying to manage everything on his own by any means necessary. I have enjoyed that in this series that there is a found family element even if it is a mafia family, but all the guys coming in as partners fit in very well and can handle the unconventional mafia life. In these stories there is trust and safety found with this family despite their dangerous lifestyles.

I’d be lying if I said he wasn’t starting to grow on me, especially when he calls me his Deadly Little Sparrow from his knees. I’ve never met a man who could handle me, let alone one who can’t stop begging me for more.
Beautifully Savage Butterfly
(Mafia Bound #2)
Kim's review
Being savage in the ring is one thing. The way Elio Moretti craves my violence outside the ring is another.
I feel like I’ve been fighting my whole life, and tapping out has never been an option.
I can live with owing money to the Morettis. I can even live with the constant guilt that my brother is the one paralyzed in a hospital bed while I live his dream. What I can’t live with is Elio Moretti, second in command to the infamous crime family, showing up to all my fights, sitting in the front row, watching me like he can’t look away, and barging into the locker room to patch up my wounds and invade my space.
The Morettis are monsters. Vicious, brutal sociopaths. So, why is Elio so eager to get on his knees for me?
He’s as desperate to give up control as I am to take it, but is giving in to these primal urges enough of a reason to sell my soul?
He claims there are worse people in this city than his family, and the deeper I get dragged into his world, the more true that’s starting to seem. Can I really fall in love with a Mafia underboss? Is it even possible to walk away?
Unhinged Little Angel
Kim's review
Forcing Salvatore Moretti to marry me at gunpoint isn’t the craziest thing I've ever done...
I hate being desperate, being scared. It's a filthy, helpless feeling. I'd much rather be enraged, violent… unhinged.
Salvatore watches me dance and calls me Angioletto, his little angel. He doesn't know the demons that haunt me. He's too blinded by my beauty to see the blood on my hands. Then again, he's a mafia capo, so maybe the blood wouldn't bother him anyway.
My past is like fire licking at my heels, ready to consume me. But Sal won't let that happen, he’ll protect me. He has to.
I learned a long time ago not to trust anyone but myself. It's dangerous the way he manages to unravel all of my defenses and turn me from a guarded Dom into the submissive brat I've never felt safe enough to be. It's terrifying the way I'm starting to crave him.
I wasn't sure I would live long enough to worry about this marriage starting to feel real, but this well-dressed mafioso might just manage to save my life after all. We can argue about divorce once the threat is neutralized I suppose. And in the meantime, he is my husband, I might as well enjoy the perks…
Author K.M.Neuhold is a complete romance junkie, a total sap in every way. She started her journey as an author in new adult, MF romance, but after a chance reading of an MM book she was completely hooked on everything about lovely- and sometimes damaged- men finding their Happily Ever After together. She has a strong passion for writing characters with a lot of heart and soul, and a bit of humor as well. And she fully admits that her OCD tendencies of making sure every side character has a full backstory will likely always lead to every book having a spin-off or series. When she’s not writing she’s a lion tamer, an astronaut, and a superhero…just kidding, she’s likely watching Netflix and snuggling with her husky while her amazing husband brings her coffee.
