Westford Series

Fred Brennan's father was a brutal man, both professionally and personally. When the kingpin died, Fred welcomed it, but not the brutal role he was thrust into. As a doctor, he's devoted his life to helping people. The last thing he wants is to fill his father's shoes, but after three years, he's no closer to offloading his dad's title onto someone else. As a mafia boss, he's forced to deal with the elite assassin organization, Lex Talionis . . . bringing him face to face with the man who runs it.

As head of Lex Talionis, secrecy is vital to Vincenzo Belini. Nothing could coax him to reveal himself to Fred. That is until dangerous adversaries emerge from the shadows, all vying for Fred's life. Vincenzo knows the enemy is close. He has to convince Fred he's not one of them because for as much of a pain Fred can be, Vincenzo is the right man to keep him focused—in and out of the bedroom.

Someone is threatening Fred's throne, power, and the responsibilities. Despite Fred not wanting any of these things, he can't let them fall into the wrong hands. Can he rely on Vincenzo to help take down the growing enemy and give Fred the happy ending he's always wanted?
