Marcellos: La Cosa Nostra
is not just a choice of regime and routine, it’s a culture. Born as mafia

of what it meant to be a Mafioso prince. It is for life. Their status is
considered a given right. They will always be these people. They will always be
Marcellos.
BOOK ONE - FILTHY
MARCELLOS: Lucian
BLURB
Lucian Marcello is aware of the
expectations following him as the oldest son of one of North America’s most
infamous Cosa Nostra Dons. Family in his world is more than blood and sharing a
last name. It’s the honor, respect, business, and the life. Being a Capo is
just a stepping stone until it’s time for him to take on the role
of underboss but a chance meeting with her could be the one thing
he’d risk it all for.
She is exactly what he didn’t know he was looking for.
Jordyn Reese spends her time trying to stay under the radar of a man who wouldn’t think twice about killing her. Unwillingly affiliated with a dangerous MC gang, her life is dominated by the men surrounding her and her future rests solely in how useful she can be for them. The last thing she needs is some Mafioso gaining her more unwanted attention from the club.
He is everything she should stay away from but can’t.
Notoriously violent when it comes to getting what he wants, Lucian will stop at nothing to make the target on Jordyn’s back disappear. But sometimes the worst threats are the ones you can’t see until it’s too late. The truth behind Lucian’s history is about to take center stage in more ways than one, and it’ll either save him … or kill him.
This world leaves everyone a little filthy.

immediately to Lucian and his Italian family. But low and behold he finds his
lasting passion and desire in the last place on earth he ever thought possible,
the confessional!" 5 out of 5 stars - KB, Amazon Reviewer

BOOK TWO - FILTHY
MARCELLOS:
Giovanni
BLURB
Giovanni Marcello lives
life by his own terms and has no intention of changing. As a Capo and
the son of a mob boss, he knows what is and is not acceptable conduct. That doesn’t
stop him from doing whatever he wants, whenever he wants to do it. The one
thing he would never do is disobey the principles of La Cosa Nostra.
That is, until he spends a night with a beautiful stranger.
He’ll break every rule for her.
Kim Abella has made some mistakes—no doubt about it. She’s paying for them by a forced marriage she doesn’t want to a man who suffocates her with his demands and abuse. After everything, she knew better than to get mixed up with another family, especially their youngest son. Then again, when she’s with him, he reminds her of who she is beneath the control that’s slowly killing her.
She just can’t leave him alone.
Being spoken for by a made man means Kim is off-limits, but Giovanni doesn’t play nice when it comes to taking what should be his. The only thing that might save them both from a bullet and a makeshift grave for what they’ve done are the very same rules they already broke.
Sometimes, love has to start out a little filthy.

BOOK THREE - Filthy Marcellos: Dante
BLURB
Dante Marcello’s life has been a
carefully planned event as an heir to a Cosa Nostra throne. For as long as he
can remember, he’s had one goal in mind, and that’s becoming the Don. With his
father ready to step down, it’s Dante’s turn to step up. But without a wife at
his side, his seat as the boss is on shaky ground. Until she shows up with an
offer he wants to refuse, but can’t.
With her, he’s got everything to gain.
Catrina Danzi is known for her angel face and a predator’s grace. For over a decade, she’s worked as a successful Queen Pin dealing with a repertoire of clientele who can’t afford a scandal. That’s why they ask for her and why they call her Queen. Marrying Dante Marcello means giving up the business and status she loves in order to gain protection she can’t provide on her own, but she no longer has a choice.
Without him, she’s got everything to lose.
The rules for their arrangement are simple: no intimacy, no emotions. Dante isn’t looking for love and Catrina doesn’t need attachments. In the end, life has a way of breaking down walls when you least expect it to, and once love gets in, there’s no bleeding it out. Together, they make a formidable team the Commission won’t be able to ignore. Catrina’s secret of what she’s kept safe will put the entire Marcello family in danger when it finally catches up with her. The Marcellos have yet to be beaten, and they’re not about to start bowing down now.
Even the most beautiful things are a little filthy.

PREQUEL - FILTHY MARCELLOS: Antony
BLURB
Antony Marcello didn’t break the
rules. Not the ones that mattered, anyway. In the world of La Cosa Nostra,
justice was served with a single word and a bullet, not a courthouse and a
judge. When he was told to jump, there was only one appropriate response: How
high, Boss?
Some
rules are worth bending.
La famiglia has been Antony’s goal for
longer than he cares to remember. Getting his button is everything alongside
family, honor, God, and loyalty. Meeting Cecelia Catrolli puts what he thought
he knew upside down as the mafia, friendship, secrets and love carry him
through life. Nothing is ever easy.
Some rules are worth the killing.
Some rules are worth the killing.
When Cosa Nostra, the one thing he has
always known and trusted, takes away his best friend, leaving Antony to pick up
the pieces, he’ll have to decide if the rules are finally worth breaking. He
didn’t start out as the boss, he began as just Antony.
Sometimes,
you have to learn how to be filthy.

Excerpt from Filthy Marcellos:
Antony
“What did they do, forget the ‘H’ when
they spelled your name on the birth certificate?” Cecelia asked, a teasing
smile lighting up her pretty features.
Antony chuckled, holding out his fork
full off cheesecake for her to take. He waited while she drew the sweet bite
from the utensil, her lips wrapping around the fork in a way that had his
darker urges rising. He quickly reminded himself of the enforcer two booths
away, readjusted his position in the seat, and cleared his throat. Yeah, he
needed to get as far away from those fucking thoughts as he possibly
could.
And fast.
Cecelia was innocent. Antony needed to
keep that forefront and center. He sure as hell wasn’t, but she was. Why she
wanted anything to do with him, he wasn’t sure.
“No, they didn’t forget to add it in,”
Antony finally replied.
Cecelia used the tip of her thumb to
wipe away a bit of cream at the corner of her mouth. Antony’s gaze instantly
zoned in on that innocent gesture and she didn’t miss it. Cecelia’s smile
turned into a knowing grin.
Something inside of him said she wasn’t
totally innocent.
“Like Cleopatra,” Antony explained.
“Hmm?”
“Cleopatra and Antony. My mother was a
romantic. I was lucky I didn’t end up with Romeo for a name. She had a thing
for couples who gave everything up for love.”
“Including their lives,” Cecelia mused.
“Exactly. What’s love without a little
tragedy, as the saying goes. My brother got the namesake and I ended up with
Antony.”
Cecelia chewed on her inner cheek,
smiling in that sensual way of hers all over again. “I think I like Antony
more, anyway.”
“Me, too.”
Her hand found his thigh again. “Take me
dancing this weekend, hmm? Somewhere fun. I never get to do fun things,
anymore.”
“I can do that, Tesoro.”
Whatever she wanted, he’d give.
“And maybe …” Cecelia trailed off with a
sly hum.
“Maybe what, Cecelia?”
“This.”
She leaned up and kissed him before he’d
blinked. Soft, warm lips pressed to his and that was it for him. Antony was
gone. She tasted like sugar and innocence. Pureness right down to her blood and
bones. His cock jerked to life under his slacks the higher her hand rose on his
thigh and the harder she kissed him. Quickly, her lips parted and he took the
chance to deepen the kiss for the brief moment he could.
She didn’t pull away.
Yeah, innocent.
He was going to dirty this girl up so
bad.
Antony bet she’d like it.
