Keep Her Close by Jenika Snow

The King of Bourbon.
Boss of the Bacelli Crime Family.
That’s who Joey Bacelli was.The “family” was made up of violence, gore, and death, and it’s all Joey had ever known and he revels in it.
Joey was a man who was used to getting everything he wanted, except for the one woman that continuously denied him.
Marra.
And it’s that rejection from her, the disinterest she shows, her lack of fear in who and what he is, that turned Joey on even more. It made him obsessed, so much so he’ll stop at nothing to make Marra his.
Marra Santos knew Joey was a dangerous man, and it’s because of who and what he is that kept Marra at an arm’s length. But the truth was, she wanted him with a desperation that scared her more than the man himself.
When she’s witness to a murder and her life is in danger, the only man she could turn to is Joey.Now at Joey’s mercy and in his debt, Marra knows he’ll make her repay him in the one way he’s always wanted.
To be his completely.
