About this ebook

JOSEPH

Oldest son in the Rossi family. Heir to the empire. Loyal to the family, over and above anyone else.

Even when it comes to murder. War. Kidnapping my best friend.

Sloane Brennan, daughter of the Irish mob boss, used to be my partner in crime. Now she’s forbidden fruit… and leverage. My father has ordered me to take her to Italy and turn her over to the man who will hold her hostage.

He thinks it’s simple.

I know it’s not.

Because nothing about Sloane is simple. And this trip just reminds me of everything I love about her. Her smell. Her sharp tongue. That red hair that I want to tangle my fingers in as I have my way with her.

My job is to transport Sloane and drop her off. Then get back home and collect my reward.

Falling in love with her again is not an option. What I want was never part of this deal.

And playing her hero now, when so much is at stake?

That’s just going to get us both killed.

SLOANE

I should have known better. I thought I could escape the mob. Get a degree. Work on the right side of the law.

But Joseph Rossi always has to make things complicated.

One day I’m doing my job, and the next I’ve been taken. Thrown on a plane and told to sit down and shut up, because I’m nothing more than a pawn in a game between powerful men. And Joseph Rossi, my one-time best friend and lover, is the guy doing the kidnapping.

But when we get to Italy, it becomes obvious that Joseph’s not the one in charge.

Equally obvious: He wants me just as badly as he ever has. And despite the betrayal, I haven’t forgotten the way his body feels. I should hate him. I should want to kill him for what he’s done.

I don’t.

And when everything goes sideways, I only have two choices: either team up with the man who got me into this mess, or stay here and face the consequences of his mistakes.

I’m not ready to die. But I don’t know if I’m ready to trust Joseph Rossi, either.

Because the last time I trusted him, he broke my heart.

Her Romeo is the second book in Sloane and Joseph's story, which started in His Obsession and finishes in Her Hero. The book includes Romeo and Juliet themes, kidnapping, car chases, stalkers, and heroes, plus enough tension and spice to make you want a Joseph Rossi of your very own.

The Anniversary Collection features new edits and bonus scenes for this series, with special edition covers and sneak peeks at future books.

STOP USING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN - That includes: God, Lord (referring to God), Jesus, Christ, Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, etc. When using the above in ecstasy, in sexual circumstances, in anger/etc., in any way as swear words, you need to STOP. STOP following the crowd or the modern-day popular speach pattern of ABUSING (using the above to a bad effect or for a bad purpose; misuse) any of the above words. - It is NOT OK. "The Bible verse that forbids using the Lord's name in vain is Exodus 20:7: "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name"." ** Please rather concentrate on your very enjoyable writing style & storylines, instead of causing repeated negative associations & repeated misuse of the words that refer to The Lord God Almighty. **
