Savage Deceiver
Blurb:
From USA Today bestselling author Julie Johnstone comes a dark mafia romance featuring a forbidden love between an FBI agent and a morally gray mafia fixer who will do anything to protect the woman he loves.
I promised to protect my wife. I never promised she’d forgive me for it.
Victor
The first time I meet FBI Special Agent Layla Fuentes, she has a gun pointed at my chest.
I like her immediately.
She believes in the law. I believe in loyalty. She hunts men like the ones I call family, and getting involved with me could destroy everything she’s spent her life building.
I know I should stay away.
I don’t.
One drink becomes one night. One night becomes something neither of us can walk away from.
And before I know it, the woman who should have been completely off-limits is my wife.
For the first time in my life, I have everything I never knew I wanted.
Until my enemies discover the one weakness I can’t hide.
Her.
Now the woman I would kill to protect is in danger because she belongs to me.
And keeping Layla safe may require the one thing I swore I’d never do.
Let her go.
Layla
Victor Moretti is everything I should know better than to want.
He’s dangerous. Morally gray. Fiercely loyal to one of New York’s most powerful mafia families.
He’s also infuriating, protective, unexpectedly tender—and the first man who’s ever made me question the lines I thought I’d never cross.
I know loving him could cost me the career I fought my entire life to build.
I marry him anyway.
Because beneath the violence and secrets, I trust Victor with the one thing I’ve always protected most fiercely.
Myself.
I just never considered what would happen if loving me forced Victor to choose between holding on…
And keeping me safe.
