The Lure of Fire by Raffaella Rowell
The Secret Code - Book 1
Caught at a party, Georgia is coerced by the Secret Service into spying on Alex Earl, aka Alessio Dragonetti, son of the notorious Alba Dragonetti. In return, she has been promised her brother's release from prison. Even though Alex has nothing to do with the family business, she may be able to gather useful information. She becomes friends with his sister, thus landing the job as nanny to widowed Alex's little girl.
However, she becomes attached to Maya, her charge, and also soon begins to develop feelings for Alex as well. When he catches her in the act of spying on his family, Alex demands an explanation. Stubborn Georgia, fearing for her brother, remains silent, much to Alex's dismay.
When Alba insists that Alex marry the girl, he is all too eager to comply. But Georgia isn't sure of his motive. Before she can get away, a near tragedy makes her realize what she must do.
Publisher's Note: This steamy, dark mafia romance contains elements of power exchange and graphic scenes.
