The Morelli Family series by Kath Richards blends steamy romance, laugh-out-loud banter, and high-stakes mafia drama. In A Love Most Fatal, crime boss Vanessa Morelli juggles a construction empire, disappearing shipments, meddling matchmakers, and an unexpected spark with her godson’s math teacher, who becomes her unlikely houseguest and ally. In A Love Most Brutal, Mary Morelli, the youngest and fiercest of the Morelli sisters, proposes a passionless marriage of convenience to Russian mafia head Maxim Orlov to protect their families—only to find that keeping feelings out of the deal is the hardest part. Each book delivers a sharp-tongued, fast-paced romantic romp filled with danger, family loyalty, and unexpected love.
