The vibe

All is fair in love and war… and when you’re a Leonelli, you’re always at war.

Dominic “The Lion” Leonelli is a six-time superheavyweight champion—and the son of The Leone, the most feared crime family in Boston. Boxing was supposed to be his escape from his father’s underworld… until revenge for his mother’s killer landed him in prison for fifteen months. Now he’s out, stronger than ever, and determined to take back his title.

But Dominic has two problems: he owes his family a debt before he can ever be free, and his public image needs serious rehab. The world needs to fall in love with him again.

Enter Natasha Snow—his beautiful new next-door neighbor, an injured ballerina whose old-money aristocratic family is trying to force her into a marriage she doesn’t want. Natasha is the perfect woman to polish Dominic’s reputation… and he’s exactly the kind of scandal she needs to tarnish hers.

A fake engagement feels like the perfect solution—until everything starts to go wrong… and the lines between strategy, survival, and real desire blur fast.

Deluxe edition with sprayed edges.
