Arresting Desire - Shayla Black
Las Vegas, Nevada and Newark, New Jersey - Present Day
FBI Agent Jon Bocelli is hoping that Nick DiStefano left behind some sort of proof that will clear Jon's brother, Stefan, of the murder for which he is currently serving time. As the right-hand man of a Mafia boss, Stefan is no choir boy, but Jon is convinced that for this crime, he's innocent. When Lucia DiStefano opens a present from her late father at her birthday celebration, Jon is convinced this will lead to clearing Stefan, and might even uncover who murdered Nick. Working with Lucia will be a challenge though, one Jon's not sure he's willing to take on. Ten years younger than he and a virgin besides, there's no way Lucia can handle what he wants from her. But Lucia has a few surprises in store for Jon.
Jon first met Lucia while he was undercover, working for her uncle—she was off-limits then in more ways than one. In Arresting Desire , however, the only thing holding Jon back is his belief that she's too innocent for him. Learning of her plans for an exotic—erotic—vacation changes his mind in this sizzling erotic tale.
