Sins and Secret

<p>Desperation sends me to the auction where the only thing I have to sell...is myself.<br><br>The Marchetti Mafia runs this town. My dad has been under their thumb for years as the Boss's personal consigliere. After facing death multiple times he's now hanging on by a mere thread and I worry the next injury will be his last. They always say once you join the family you're in it for life. Yet there may be a way out but it'll cost me more than I ever imagined.<br><br>I join a rival's auction hoping to earn enough money to buy my father's freedom. I never expected my buyer to be none other than Alessio Marchetti himself the Marchetti family mafia boss and my father's best friend. Now instead of freedom I find myself sucked further into the world I desperately want to escape from.<br><br>Every fiber of my being is telling me to run but I don't get the chance because Alessio whisks me and my father away to his estate. He provides my father with the best medical care but I don't appreciate being kept under lock and key even if I'm being paid for it. But the more time I spend with him the more I realize his grumpy tattooed exterior is barely the tip of the iceberg of who Alessio really is. My world is turned upside down when I find myself happiest wrapped in his embrace and craving his touch.<br><br>When a rival kidnaps me my only hope is the man I've been desperate to escape from...Alessio.</p>
