Books like Borden

One name, one family, and a lot of blood under the floorboards. Borden from R.J. Lewis is mafia romance that never flinches. Black as tar and explicit. Softness here is a private language, spoken rarely and never in public. If you like your crime family quiet and lethal, this is a solid place to begin.
