The Mancini Brothers Book 1: Defending Fabrizio

The Mancini Brothers Book 1: Defending Fabrizio

Layla Knight

“We shouldn’t be speaking like this. Not when we need to be speaking about the case.”

“There’s no one here to regulate us. We can speak about whatever we want, and I’m not finished speaking about last night.”

Fabrizio Mancini is on trial for a crime he swears he didn’t commit—but the evidence says otherwise. With no murder weapon and too many unanswered questions, his powerful mafia family hires the best defense lawyer in New York: Benedetta D’Angelo. Winning this case would make her career, but there’s one problem—her dangerously charming client is keeping secrets. As Benedetta fights for the truth, Riz fights a different battle: keeping her out of his world and out of his bed. But some lines are meant to be crossed, and some temptations are impossible to resist.

Their banter burns hotter with every encounter, turning arguments into something neither can resist. Beneath Finn’s bad boy charm hides a man with secrets, and Willow’s not sure if she’s about to melt his walls—or get burned trying.

He does not kick him out. You, however, will be screaming into your pillow. Theo’s fingers spread ointment over bruises he wasn’t supposed to see, Hamlet makes a sound he definitely wasn’t supposed to make, and then the phone rings… and Theo answers. “Is this the boy working the streets?” a man slurs.
