"Don't worry. Daddy's here now." Dante Romano and I had history.At 7, he was the new boy in school I stood up for when the bullies swarmed.At 13, he was my best friend and partner in crime as we trained to become Capos.At 17, he was the man I loved more and my biggest secret.At 21, he was my boy and I his Daddy.At 23, he gave up his freedom to secure mine. A chance encounter as a child led me to become one of the most feared men in the Cosa Nostra. I'd protected the heir to the throne, thereby earning myself protection, and later, a position in their ranks under the title of Preacher . I wasn't part of the church, but that didn't stop men from praying and begging for forgiveness from my lawless rein. Over time that heir I'd saved became my everything - my best friend, my future leader, and the love of my life. When the true depth of our feelings were discovered, Dante accepted his father's demands and left the city behind to spare my life. Years of searching for him proved fruitless. He was hidden well and there was little hope I'd ever see him again. It wasn't until I made a deal with an old friend that I managed to track down my boy. Low and behold, he was in my city, right under my nose. I decided then and there I'd stop at nothing to take back what's mine. Lawless is part of the Ruthless Daddies multi-author collab and a complete standalone. Expect to find an anti-hero Daddy not afraid to use violence to get his way, a boy still hiding parts of himself to appease close-minded family ideology, an out-of-the-box kidnapping (I mean reunion), and a guaranteed HEA.
