A mortician with a dark secret can’t stay away from the smoldering son of a powerful mafia family—even when they find themselves caught in the crossfire. Dominic I have a dark secret and the Urso Family knows it. Blackmailed into using my crematorium to their sordid ends, I drift through my life in a haze of guilt and misery, with one single bright spot: Francis Urso. So what if he’s a dangerous mafia hitman? He’s a dangerous mafia hitman who wants me. Francis I’m the fourth son of the Urso Family. Shunned, disrespected, and relegated to “clean-up duty,” I want nothing more than to find my way back in—and I wouldn’t mind if I got to keep working with Dominic, the strange, intriguing mortician who is just as much a pawn in this game as I am. When we are attacked, unsure who is on our tail, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Dominic safe, but between the threat of a looming mafia war and the searing attraction between us that we’ve long ignored, can we find a way to survive together without losing our souls? Grave Work is the first book in the Villainous Creatures series, a steamy MM mafia romance. For lovers of forced proximity, lovers on the run, slow burn, hookup-to-lovers, feral unhinged MCs, a cinnamon roll who could actually kill you, and a murderous hitman who is soft for his boyfriend. Read on if you love your dark-ish romance with a hint of humor and lots of action.
