Book Title: BRUTAL CAPO

Character Name: Salvatore

 

How would you describe your family or your childhood?

My family has been part of the Cosa Nostra since its inception. I guess you would say we are your typical Italian-American family. Except, not all of our businesses are strictly legal. And our way of dealing with problems might be considered a little extreme by some.

 

I was raised to be a Capo. Every game I played in my childhood was part of my training. Patty Cake is a way of training reflexes. Hide and Seek is away to learn stealth. Do I really need to explain squirt guns, paintball, and foam pellet gun fights? Every friend I made came from our mafia the Genovese Family.

 

What is your greatest talent?

I run the clubs and launder money for our mafia, and I do it well. Is that a talent or necessity? I don’t know, but it’s my duty and that’s all that matters.

 

Significant other?

Bianca sure as hell is significant and she’s mine.

 

Biggest challenge in relationships?

I don’t do relationships…until I meet the gorgeous smart mouth who says no better than any woman I’ve met.

 

Where do you live?

The penthouse in the building I own in Manhattan.

 

Do you have any enemies?

Doesn’t everybody? There’s a reason my car is armored.

 

How do you feel about the place where you are now?

Manhattan is the only place worth living.

 

Greatest disappointment?

Learning the woman I planned to marry was taking me for a ride. Taught me a lesson none of the training in my childhood could though. Love is for suckers.

 

What do you do to entertain yourself or have fun? 

Fu##. But the woman I want is playing hard to get. Worse? She’s not f-ing playing.

 

Is it true you kidnapped a cocktail waitress and are keeping her trapped in your penthouse?

Define kidnap. The woman doesn’t know what’s best for her. If I left her to it, she’d be dead in a week. Besides she’s got my housekeeper and mom wrapped around her little finger. You don’t need to worry about Bianca Gemelli.

BRUTAL CAPO by Lucy Monroe

Syndicate Rules #5

Brutal Capo

Another steamy Italian mafia romance set in the New York Cosa Nostra by USA Today bestselling author Lucy Monroe.

BIANCA
I’m hiding in plain sight from the mafia. Working for the most brutal capo in New York might not be the best idea. Falling for him is even worse. But when he traps me in his apartment to take care of me, passion I didn’t know I could feel, burns my inhibitions to cinders. Until he throws me away. Then the don finds out who I am, and demands I marry the capo who broke my heart.

SALVATORE
The plan? A single night with the alluring pole dancer turned cocktail waitress. When she’s attacked outside my club, I insist she recovers in my penthouse and if that gives me access to her beautiful body, so much the better. One night turns into weeks, but I don’t catch feelings. Not since I had to kill the object of my affection for betraying me. Then I discover Bianca has done the same. But instead of ordering me to kill her, my don gives me a choice. Marry her. Or death.

This is a stand alone mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhangers. No Cheating.

CW: explicit intimacy, graphic violence, foul language, reference to SA in the past, parental abandonment (in past for Bianca).
