Raw Nerve

The enforcer is the last man a Black woman should trust. Billie Ruth Carter knows that.

She also knows she saw Nico Moretti break a man's jaw in a Canarsie alley at two in the morning. Now she's a federal witness - and Nico's job is to make sure she stays alive long enough to testify.

The rules are simple: he doesn't touch her. She doesn't leave the safe house. Nobody dies.

Nico Moretti breaks rules for a living.

Six weeks locked in a Brooklyn brownstone with the Moretti enforcer - hot-eyed, tattooed, scarred-knuckled, trained to kill and to cook Sunday gravy with the same hands - Billie never planned to end up in his bed or his family. But when the Albanian mob comes for her, when the family's traitor cuts the power and shoots through the kitchen window, she finds out exactly what Nico does to people who threaten what's his.

And when the feds demand she hand him over, she finds out what she'll do to keep him.

RAW NERVE is a full-length dark billionaire BWWM mafia protector romance, second in The Blood Bargain series. No cheating. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
