Ties of Steel

Twenty-six-year-old Abraham O'Donnell is the CFO of Steel Inc. After working tirelessly for over a year, he takes a week off to enjoy the sand, surf, and bikini-clad women of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After all, he's earned it. When a brief interlude with a flight attendant in her hotel room goes awry, Abe heads to a rental home with a private beach. While floating naked in the pool, he learns a guest house on the property is also occupied. So much for rest and relaxation.

The Italian, seductive, quiet alpha, Dominic Segretti, is leaving Livorno, Italy, and headed for the Jersey Shore. His family's business is in danger of crumbling under the management of a man who grossly underestimated his investment in a business he grew up loving. Dominic has been quietly waiting for the right moment to bring Benito Deluca to his knees. He comes to the US armed with enough evidence to prove his case.

Sabato Efisto was born from an unholy union, the bastard son of a martyred saint and the devil. At least, that's what he's believed, for most of his life. His father is an Italian crime lord, a man so dangerous that Sabato's mother died trying to get away from him. For that tragedy, which happened on his seventh birthday, Sabato blames himself. Every year, he practices the ritual of self-punishment, flirting with death the way most boys his age flirt with girls.

Sabato Efisto is a cursed man. Born from sin, raised in revenge, he's made a name for himself doling out pleasure and punishment in the lush Italian Riviera. When the sins of his father come to rest on his shoulders, Sabato trades his privileged - but dangerous - life as the son of a mafia kingpin for the untested - but willing - shores of New Jersey. Acquiring a sex club called Steelettos is only the first phase in his plan to seduce and tame his new American landscape. Phase two involves finding a woman who can meet his...very singular, and definitely less-than-legal, needs.
