Above 'N' Beyond

Getting locked up had been easy. But for K-9 Sergeant Jamie Pataglio, going undercover at a maximum-security prison-and infiltrating the Mancusco crime family-was the hard part. Now, six months later, Jamie's been accepted as one of the mob's own, and he's walking out of the gates as a free man. . . and stepping into the criminal underworld. There's only one small, gorgeous problem: Bella Bianco.

The Italian bistro used to be Bella's pride and joy. Now it's become a nightmare, where her violent family uses her restaurant as its criminal home base. Guilty by association. She needs to find a way out, and fast. The last thing Bella needs is an attraction to their newest "associate"-even if every moment alone with him leaves her breathless. It's almost enough to make her reconsider her "no mobsters" policy. . .

They can't trust each other. But if either of them ever wants to break free of their circumstances, they don't have a choice. They'll have to take down her family. And if anyone finds out they're working together. . . they're both dead.
