The Gardeners (Friends to Lovers) - Growing up as part of the Mancini mob clan in Chicago was all Tony Bricker and Max Hixson ever knew since the time they were seven. They were trained by their uncle, the Don, of the Mancini family and he dubbed them his Gardeners.
They were more than just best friends, they were chosen brothers and not only loved their jobs as Mancini enforcers, but were damn good at it.
Until, Max changed everything three years ago. Their friendship shattered and Max fled to Michigan to do his uncle’s work. Now he’s been called back to Chicago and once more paired with his former best friend, chosen brother, and the one man he’d always loved.
Now, both men must address what happened between them three years ago in order to do the job only they can do: recover their cousin Val from the O’Reilly clan.
Training for Revenge (Enemies to Lovers) - Anthony Mancini, Chicago’s Italian kingpin, has no choice but to bring in outside help to train his niece, Valentina Russo who is hell bent on exacting her revenge on the Irish mob that had her abducted and abused her four months ago.
Mancini hires two assassins to do the job. Gordon Wellington is a hands-on, up close, silent killer. Craig Barlow prefers the distance poisons allow to take out his marks.
Years of beating each other to take out the same marks has built an unrivaled hatred between them. Hatred or not, now they have the same contract: Train Valentina Russo. Working together was never part of their plan. Neither was a relationship.
Enemy of my Enemy (Enemies to Lovers) - Anthony Mancini, Chicago’s Italian kingpin, has been in a territory war with the O’Reilly syndicate since inherited the family business forty-two years ago from his father. For the last twelve years, Aideen O’Reilly, the heir to the Irish family has been his steady rival and for the most part, the war between their two families has been civil.
However, when an outside threat in the form of the Russian Bratva from New York threatens to upset the status quo between their two syndicates, Anthony Mancini is forced to do the unthinkable: Align with his enemy.
Genre: Gay Romance
