From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes an all new family in her With Me In Seattle world! Hold on to your seat as we introduce you to Kristen’s new MAFIA FAMILY!

As the eldest son of Seattle’s current mob boss, Carmine Martinelli’s life has never really been his own. But he doesn’t mind because his family means more to him than his life. Which is why he’s determined to make those responsible for the death of his aunt and uncle pay—in inventive and gruesome ways. And what better way to do that than to infiltrate the Russian mafia from the inside? It’s a good thing the bratva’s princess is stunning and seemingly willing to do whatever he asks. This vengeance could be the perfect mix of business and pleasure.

Nadia Tarenkov has several things stacked against her: she’s a woman, and she’s not the eldest child in her family. But it doesn’t matter. She has her sights set on ruling the syndicate, and she always gets what she wants. When the heir to one of the States’ most powerful crime families comes knocking, Nadia sees it for the gift it is. He thinks he has her fooled, but she’s smarter, more cunning, and always two steps ahead. She’ll beat the gorgeous mobster at his own game, and secure her place in the fold.

What neither of them takes into consideration, however, is that they aren’t the only ones with deadly plans in motion. To survive, they’ll have to come clean and work together—and acknowledge that the growing love they’ve been pretending isn’t there, is very real.



I have read other books by this author but knowing that she was coming out with a Mafia book that was also enemies to lovers, I knew I had to read it because of how much I loved her other work.
Oh my gosh, this book had me on the edge of my seat. I was glued to my couch, I had to know how this book was going to end, and it did not disappoint at all. I loved it I couldn’t get enough.
Nadia is a mafia boss’s daughter, and she happens to have a bit of a diva imo. She was a strong and independent woman that knew how to play with the top dogs.
Carmine is part of another mafia family; he’s got a softer side but also protective side to him.
Nadia and Carmine have known one another since they were teens, they end up having to work together for the safety of their families. The connection that these two had was electric. Once they got passed their stubbornness and really started to show feelings for one another had me hooked to the book, I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.
