During a glamorous mafia wedding in the Hamptons, Mob lawyer Carlo Bianchi's life is turned upside down when he's targeted by an assassin. His savior? The last man he should want and the only one he's been hooking up with lately: Nick Fontana, a merciless Morelli Family mobster with a heart of ice and a body so hot it's the only thing that can make silver-tongued Carlo speechless. Nick took a life to save Carlo's, so in the tinder-box gathering of multiple crime Families, the wisest course of action seems to be to cover it up and keep very, very quiet. But one lie leads to another. And another. And then a blackmailer strikes. Trapped in their own web of lies, murder, and betrayal, Carlo and Nick set out for answers, their secret trysts threatening to destroy everything they've worked for–and Nick must unleash his most brutal skills to protect the only man who's ever touched his hardened soul. In a world where love is the ultimate liability, will their reckless affair be the kiss of death? *** Kissed by a Killer is best enjoyed as part of the Morelli Family M/M mafia romance series. Characters and events from previous books are referenced.
