SYNOPSIS
Chicago has never been more fun, or dangerous …
Sent
away with his identical twin to get their wild ways under control, Beni
Guzzi expects nothing to change. Same crap, new city, right? But if the
boss of the Chicago mob can’t set the principes straight, then nothing
will.
And then she rolls into town.
Stuck
in a job that seems intent to keep her working behind a desk, August
Rivera hopes a trip to the windy city for an assignment will make the
magazine finally give her a spread. But getting to see her best friend,
well, that’s just a bonus.
And then she sees him from across a club.
With
a gang causing trouble for the Outfit, and a Capo’s crew in shambles,
Beni has a million other things to focus on except the beautiful New
Yorker who keeps finding her way into his bed. The thing is, when he’s
with August, everything is better—easier.
Falling
in love while handling family drama and mafia affairs is anything but
simple … and in this business? It only takes a single mistake to lose it
all.
That lesson can’t be taught, and it always comes too late.

NOTE: Beni is a standalone novel within The Guzzi Legacy series. It can be read as such.
EXCLUSIVE REVEAL EXCERPT
August cocked a brow right back at him.
The
response prompted the twin on the left to flash perfect, white teeth in
a grin that had her stomach doing flipflops. His tongue peeked out to
touch the corner of his upper lip that curled in his amusement.
And wow.
Her heart skipped beats.
“Found someone you like?”
Her
staring contest with the strangely beautiful twin across the room was
broken when August turned to find Camilla grinning at her side. A bottle
of her favorite whiskey in hand, and a whole line of shot glasses
already lined up on the bar, she must have been standing there enjoying
August’s little show for a while.
She wasn’t even ashamed.
“Who is that?” August asked, not bothering to look the twins’ way again.
“The
one on the right is Bene—Benedetto. The left, or rather, the one now
coming your way looking like he wants to take a bite out of you, is
Beni—Benito.”
“How can you tell the difference?”
“The
leather bracelets they wear. Bene’s is always on his right, Beni on his
left. The same position they always stand next to each other. And he
really is coming your way. Use their nicknames, they prefer it. Oh, and
don’t mention the strange twinness things they do. They really can’t
help it, and don’t even realize when they’re doing it.”
“Coming my wa—”
“Smile,
Aug,” her friend murmured, “because he looks like he’s a man on a
mission, and from the rumors I have heard … you want to be the woman his
attention finds. Smile.”
“Cam—”
“I’ll
just leave this with you, and go find Tom,” her friend interjected,
handing the bottle of whiskey over but taking two shot glasses full of
the amber liquid for herself. “And have fun!”
“Cam!”
Her friend was already walking away.
August watched her go until—
“Ciao.”
Oh, wow.
His voice.
She knew it was him without even needing to turn around to see him.
Because his voice caused her skin to pebble with goosebumps, and her
heart picked up speed all over again. His close proximity had her body
heating up like nothing else, and a grin started to form on her lips as
she nibbled on her bottom lip.
“You here with someone?” he asked.
August
squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, still not ready to turn around. If
she did it before she was ready, she would probably embarrass herself,
and that was not what she wanted to do here. Not by a long shot.
“Just my friends,” she said.
“Cam, yeah. Her husband is a friend. Your name?”
August
finally decided to turn around, then, coming face to face with a man
who looked like the gracious and good God above had spent just a little
more time creating him. Up close, it was far more apparent to her just
how beautiful he was.
Strikingly so.
“August Rivera,” she said.
He held out a hand.
She took it.
And that heat?
Only burned hotter.
“August,”
he said, as though he were tasting her name in his mouth. And goddamn,
it sounded good coming out of those full lips. “Beni.”
