Lucid: A Dark Mafia Romance

by C M Lepore, Ivy Wills (Editor)

Aly spends her days stuck in a monotonous loop, tethered to the routine she’s used to that keeps her safe. So when a handsome stranger with a dangerous demeanor walks into the bank she works at, demanding her attention, she’s quick to disregard his obvious advances. But when a casual encounter introduces him into her life, she begins to realize there’s more to this handsome man than she initially gleaned. Now, her life is turned upside down and she has to face the fact that her safe, boring life isn’t going to remain that way for long.

For this being indie published I was very impressed. Instantly related to Aly and was also charmed by Mal. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next one, really enjoyed the characters and the story itself.
