Book excerpt: The mafia rules Detroit and Gino Sarvilli is king. Book 1 - Paid by the Mob Samuele Adelmo's job is to do whatever mafia kingpin Gino Sarvilli pays him to do. No questions asked, no emotional involvement. It's just a job. When he meets Lola Pennington, a sweet and beautiful woman who always sees the glass as half full, he starts to care about how his chosen career affects other people. Problem is, when you're paid by the mob, there's no retirement plan. Author's note: Paid by the Mob is available exclusively in this box set. Book 2 - Trapped by the Mob Gino Sarvilli's brother, Antonio, is the money man behind the Detroit mafia empire. He doesn't do the dirty work, which enables him to pretend that he isn't bankrolling a dangerous, deadly enterprise. But then Gino assigns him to check out a witness to a potential child kidnapping, and Antonio learns that bad things happen to good people…unless you do something about it. Book 3 - Freed from the Mob Gino's ex-wife, Margot, escaped his clutches and now lives a quiet life with her young daughter, far away from Gino's world. She's even started dating again… a cop, no less! Everything is peachy until Gino tracks them down, and suddenly, everyone Margot loves is in danger.
