Excerpt
Jonah started around the end of the bed toward me, his head still down.
I took a breath, flattening my hand against my stomach. It was rumbling all over the place. “I don’t know what your family does, but I’m not dumb.” I tipped my head up.
He moved even closer.
“Jonah.” My voice was wobbly. He had to know I wouldn’t say anything, do anything. “It was very obvious that your family is wealthy—like, the type I didn’t even know existed. All the guards? That’s scary. Whatever your family does, I don’t want to know. I don’t need to know. I won’t say anything.”
He was in my space, but his eyes were soft. “It’s not that simple.”
It had to be. Panic was branding me from the inside out. I had to convince him of this.
Would they kill me?
No, this is Jonah.
My God. Why did I have blinders with this guy?
Jonah closed in, but he didn’t touch me. He stayed just out of touching distance, but he watched me, and I was flipping the fuck out.
I blinked away tears. “What are you going to do to me?”
He stared long and hard, as if looking inside of me. Then he reached up, his hand cupping the side of my face. “I remembered you, too, after that night. You showed me kindness when no one should’ve been doing that. You did. That meant something to me.”
I closed my eyes, wanting him to close the distance and wanting him to step away at the same time. Fear and desire pumped through my blood, heating me up. “Are you going to kill me?”
His hand flexed against my cheek.
I opened my eyes, finding his gaze on my lips.
Oh man. What was he thinking?
“Jonah,” I whispered.
His eyes flickered, coming back into focus.
“What are yo—”
“No.” That’s all he said before he lowered his head, and his mouth touched mine.
I gasped, grasping his wrist.
He pulled back. Lust had darkened his eyes, but he was holding, waiting.
He was waiting for me.
My heart thumped against my chest. I knew what I wanted.
Need flooded me. The ache inside me spread outward.
I started without fully admitting to myself what I was going to do. I moved closer, my lips searching for his, and after another second’s hesitation, I let go of his wrist. I grabbed his shirt and raised up on my toes.
I found him this time, and all the hesitation was over.

"It’s a no brainer when Tijan comes out with a new book, it’s always a one click for me.
If you have read Bennett’s Mafia stories before, then you will be familiar with Jonah. Not in the family business, Jonah has gone to medical school to better his life. Carson, a forensic technician, meets Jonah at a very sad time in his life, saying goodbye to his beloved fiancé. Carson and Jonah had magical chemistry, being a novella, the story is short and to the point quickly, but still has all the drama we love in any Tijan book. " ~Stephanie
"This is my first taste of the Bennett Mafia stories. I love the little sneak peek into what it means to be a Bennett. So much so that the first thing I did when I was done with this book was to go and one click Bennett Mafia.
Jonah is the youngest in the family and opted out of the family business to pursue a career as a doctor. When his family world collides with his personal world, he's thrown into a tailspin. One act of kindness, that's what puts Carson on the radar. I would have liked a little more between the two, but I've never been one to fully embrace the whole insta-love thing. Regardless, I did enjoy the story, loved how the family made the connection between them, and the little tidbits from each of them. Family secrets revealed and new relationships explored. I can't wait for more from the Family." ~Shirley
