Dirty Deadly & Mine (Marx Empire #1)

I escaped my mafia family years ago to protect my sons, but everything changes with a forbidden man, two stalkers, a bounty on my head, and blood on my hands.

Asher Scott is my twin sons’ best mate, so when he needs a place to stay after getting out of prison, I don’t hesitate. I tell myself I’m helping the broken boy I once knew, not inviting temptation into my home.

I shouldn’t crave Asher the way I do, but he’s not a boy anymore. He’s obsessed, relentless, and far too comfortable with the darkness I try to hide, like he sees me more clearly than I see myself, igniting something wild and untamed that has me breaking all the rules I swore I’d keep.

But the closer he gets, the more my secrets unravel. And when the underworld comes knocking, loving him might cost me everything, yet walking away could be deadlier for us all.
