Dreaux: The Ruthless One: A Mafia Romance (Boudreaux Mafia, 1)

When a merciless mafia man unexpectedly rises to power, he must choose between protecting his family’s empire and saving the woman he’s come to love. After the untimely death of his father, Rosier “Zoo” Boudreaux inherits Boudreaux Enterprises and the title of Don in one of the South’s most powerful mafia families. Thrust into a world built on blood, power, and loyalty, he’s determined to prove he’s worthy of the empire―even if it means becoming the very man he never wanted to be. Meanwhile, Gabriella has spent her life surviving the cruelty of the only family she’s ever known. When she’s forced into a nightmare she can’t escape, her fate lands in the hands of a man whose name alone inspires fear. Zoo should be everything she’s learned to fear. Instead, he’s something far more dangerous. As enemies close in and long-buried secrets begin to surface, the line between duty and desire starts to blur.
