What We Built from Ashes: A M/M Mafia Romance
Seven years of hatred. Three weeks undercover. One impossible love.
Marco Valentino has spent seven years hating the Kozlov family for his brother's death. Alexei Kozlov has spent just as long blaming the Valentinos for his father's murder. When simultaneous attacks threaten to ignite all-out war between their families, they're the last two people who should be forced to work together.
But a federal conspiracy is manipulating both sides, and Marco and Alexei must go undercover as a couple to infiltrate the enemy's network. Living together. Touching for the cameras. Pretending to be in love while they gather evidence that could save their families—or destroy them both.
The cover story is perfect. The chemistry is undeniable. And the line between pretending and reality is disappearing fast.
A steamy MM mafia romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, undercover fake relationship that becomes devastatingly real, found family, and a hard-won HEA.
