Bryce by Carole Mortimer

When Bella told her family and friends of her career choice they called her a traitor and turned their backs on her, including the brother she adored.

Why?

Because no one in the Zalotti family becomes a cop!

Bella had never wanted any part of the family business, especially as that business was running the Italian mafia in London.

She wasn’t stupid enough to join the force under her real name, but has nevertheless lived in fear of someone discovering exactly who she is and bringing that career to an abrupt end, possibly by putting her in a pine box. But it’s been five years now and she’s still alive, still a cop. Then a few weeks ago she started receiving threats, in letters and spray paint on her car. Out of desperation she calls her brother, the first time they’ve spoken in years, but Matteo denies all knowledge of any threats, and refuses to help her.

Bella met Bryce Steele several weeks ago while guarding his stepsister, Jenna, after she was abducted and beaten. In fact Bryce asked Bella out on a date at the time and then didn’t show up. But Bella has done some research on Bryce since then, and she’s sure, with his ex-special forces background and underworld connections, he’s the one man who can help her discover who’s threatening her and why.

Unfortunately to do that she’ll have to tell him her real name and why she believes these death threats are real.
