Before the Don

Dr. N. S. Gorman, Ed.D.

The streetlights on his block went dark six months ago. He arranged it — through the alderman's office, in ordinary language, as a property owner with a concern. That is how he works: through the architecture of the ordinary, the infrastructure of patience. For twelve years, Vincenzo has built and sustained a Chicago organization so precisely engineered that it requires almost no visible force to run. His world has load-bearing walls. Every element is in its place. Mara Amato follows numbers. She was transferred from Minneapolis three years ago, and right now the numbers have led her to a $140,000 discrepancy in the accounts of Aegean Maritime Partners — and from there, to South Halsted. To a second-floor office above a kitchen supply company. To a two-inch gap in a walnut door. Two people who should never occupy the same room. The moment before everything shifts. Before the Don is the prequel novelette to the Sold to the Don Trilogy — begins here.

Every Little Thing

Kayla Hartness

Kat Wilson has secretly loved Beckett St. James for almost as long as she can remember. He was the boy next door who first saw past her flaws, held her together when her world fell apart, and became woven into the very fabric of her soul. But Beck was also her fiercely protective older brother's best friend, and no matter how much she wished he would fall madly in love with her, he only ever saw her as a little sister. Or so she thought. As the years pass, Kat and Beck are forced to face more than either of them ever bargained for. Dreams lead them down separate paths. War leaves wounds that never heal. Time steals precious moments, and distance becomes irreparable. Yet no matter how far apart they drift, no matter how broken they become, the thread connecting them never truly breaks. Every Little Thing is a hard-fought love story about holding on to the one person who feels like home when everything around you is falling apart, and believing that, somehow, every little thing is going to be alright.

Bound by Loyalty

N. S. Gorman

In Chicago's underworld, loyalty is inherited, enforced, and paid for in blood. She was raised as mafia royalty - protected, watched, and promised to a future chosen by men who call control a family duty. Every elegant room, every guarded doorway, every whispered alliance reminds her that a mafia princess does not belong to herself. Then he steps closer. Older. Powerful. Dangerous. The kind of man who understands that love can be a weakness, a weapon, or a vow. He should be forbidden to her. He should be the last man she trusts. But in a world where rival families circle and betrayal waits behind every polished smile, he becomes the one person who sees the woman beneath the title. As passion collides with family duty, she must choose between the loyalty that shaped her and the desire that could destroy everything. Bound by Loyalty begins a dark, steamy Mafia Princess Romance trilogy.
