A Chance At L.O.V.E.
What happens when two different worlds collide?
I wasn’t looking for love when I met her.I thought she’d own me for a night. Little did I know she’d end up owning my heart for a lifetime.
Lincoln Oliver Vincent Eastwick (AKA L.O.V.E.) has no intentions of ever being in a committed relationship, but that doesn’t mean he won’t provide one spectacular date to the lucky winner of a masked bachelor auction for a good cause.
Dr. Lillian Olivia Vicci (AKA L.O.V.) has two things in common with Lincoln: Their initials and no intention of settling down. But when her best friend wins the date of a lifetime at an anonymous bachelor auction using Lillian’s paddle, all bets are off.
It only took one night to bond two hearts together and one family to rip them apart.

Lost In L.O.V.
Angelo
She is my charge, the one I was supposed to protect. Falling in love with her wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did.
She was mine, the gift from the gods above. Until I destroyed us with one wrong decision, an immature reaction to news that should have me holding her and protecting her while I chase the demons away. Instead I run, make excuses to get away, and am cursed to watch her live her life without me being a part of it, knowing I’ll never have her again.
Lillian
My future had been mapped out for me the day I was born. I am the sole heir to the Vicci family empire, and when I am of age, I am to be married to band two families together.
Only I have a different future in mind and a plan to get it, but I need Angelo’s help. He is my future. With him I’ll be free to live and love like any normal person. Only heartbreak is what I find… He breaks me and leaves me.
Finding L.O.V.
She’s everything I never knew I wanted until she disappeared.
Fate brought us together. Karma ripped us apart.
An unexpected doctor’s visit, a bachelor auction, and one night of unbridled sex turned my world upside down. I was never one to settle for anything, but she made me realize that life doesn’t have to be about settling when you find your other half. Lillian Olivia Vicci aka L.O.V. is that woman. Being an heiress to the Vicci crime family causes her to disappear out of my life as fast as she blew into it. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to get close enough to her again, but then destiny rears her beautiful head and the offer of a lifetime lands in my lap.
Protect L.O.V. and spend the rest of my life with her. Simple enough, right? I have the money and the means to keep her safe, but do I?
Can I keep her safe without risking the lives of my family? Karma has other ideas, and the cost could be catastrophic.
Deserving LOVE
I’m a paid killer. I have blood on my hands and too many scars under my skin.
Being a killer for the Vicci Crime Family left me no time to build a lasting relationship. I certainly never imagined that my new task would lead me to the one woman who would make my heart beat again. Especially after my past with Lillian.
I was supposed to protect Bethany and her son. Instead, I brought danger to their doorstep. It’s about more than saving lives when hearts are involved.
Walking away is my only choice. It’s the only way to keep them safe, to keep them alive.
At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
From Son to Soldier
Being part of the Vicci Crime Family isn’t my birthright, but it runs through my blood just as deep as if it were.My destiny was set the minute Angelo Rizzuto married my mother, despite my parents trying to shelter me from it all.
La Cosa Nostra. Before God or family. The vow my father took was the same vow that destroyed everything I knew. And it was now the pledge I honored alongside him.
“With My Life”—words spoken from the deepest depths of my soul, a promise I made to Giovanna Panzica the moment our paths crossed. But I quickly learned that the repercussions that follow one wrong decision can last a lifetime.
My story became a tale of how a vendetta can shape a good boy into an evil man. I don’t know if there’s hope for my soul or if I’m destined to live a life of crime, but I do hope I can keep my promise to Giovanna no matter how my final chapter ends.
From Past to Present
My hands have been covered in blood since I was old enough to drive. I’ve been a soldier for the Vicci Crime Family alongside my best friend, Angelo Rizzuto. Nothing has ever distracted me from my duties as a soldier and underboss.
Until now.
Angelo’s first order of business as head of the family is to end the lives of the firstborn children to capos in the Mancini Crime Family. A task I accept without hesitation. After all, taking a life isn’t anything new to me. One, two—quick, easy kills. But number three stops me dead in my tracks and has me questioning if I can go through with it.
For the first time ever, it looks as if I will fail the family…
This kill should be just as easy as the others, but nothing is ever simple when it comes to Victoria Devecchio, the one girl I’ve given my heart to as a kid. Even though I moved on and married another woman, who blessed me with a daughter, nothing in the world could’ve prepared me for this.
One thing is certain…
When your past crashes headfirst into your present, nothing is off the table.
