When Passion Meets the Family Business

00:00

Imagine growing up as Chicago royalty - not the political kind, but the kind where your family name makes grown men tremble. This is Joey Moretti's reality. After years at an Italian boarding school, she returns home as a woman determined to claim her place in the family's criminal empire. There's just one complication: Max DiMarco, her brothers' best friend and right-hand man, who she's fantasized about since she was sixteen. Max carries his own demons. For years, he's believed himself responsible for strangling a woman during an alcohol-fueled blackout. This conviction has kept him emotionally isolated, refusing to share a bed with anyone for more than a few hours. When Joey returns, grown and gorgeous, he's caught between his loyalty to her brothers and a desire so powerful it threatens everything he's built. Their chemistry ignites immediately during training sessions where Max teaches Joey self-defense. He forces himself to maintain eye contact, desperate to hide his attraction, while Joey admits to herself she "would gladly drop to her knees for this man" despite being "a feminist to the core." The forbidden nature of their connection only intensifies the magnetism between them.
