Purchase options and add-ons

The Agosti family has enjoyed the power they wield and the fear they invoke, but it comes at a cost. The men of the Agosti family have souls steeped in sin, and blood coating their hands. These men have no problem living inside the gray areas their world exploits. When they find the women that their souls are destined for, they will stop at nothing to protect them.

WHERE ROSES LAY
Jericho holds people’s lives in his hands and is paid handsomely for it. He doesn’t see a way to find salvation, until he crosses paths with Briar. She becomes his obsession; one he vows to watch from a distance. Until he can’t anymore. When he saves her and claims her, will she accept all of him?

LILIES AND LIES
When Constantio Agosti meets Lily Scavo, he starts weaving a dangerous web designed to protect and ensnare her. How can Lily run the Scavo family businesses when her father is killed? Constantio offers his assistance, but nothing comes without a price. When secrets are revealed, can the love they’ve found together see them through?

PLUCKING HIS DAISY
Daisy Agosti has been in love with Lorenzo, the man who sits to the right of her brother at the head of the Agosti family, since she understood what love meant. He’s forbidden and off-limits, even after turning 18. Since she can’t have him, she decides to auction her virginity to the highest bidder. When Lorenzo finds out, will he stop her and finally claim what has always been his?

THE TASTE OF TEMPERANCE
Linden’s life changed in an instant. That same moment in time gave Luca Agosti the new heart he needed. Their two paths are shrouded in pain and already entwined. Luca’s new heart doesn’t just give him a chance to live. It also gives him a new purpose—Linden. Will they be able to find a way forward together?

**18+. These stories have dark themes and a morally gray heroes. You’ll still find an insta-love story that is spicy and isn’t necessarily simple, but with darker themes, situations, rough spicy times, and depictions of violence (not between the MMC and MFC). No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. There are ties to my Denver Family books but those characters do not appear in this series. You can get an introduction to the Agosti family in Flames and Flowers. Briar (Where Roses Lay) is first introduced in Room Three: They Like to Bite (Club Sin Series).**

This is a collection of novellas which are also published separately.

    This collection includes the first half of the Agosti Crime Family series and includes Where Roses Lay, Lilies and Lies, Plucking his Daisy, and the Taste of Temperance. Each story in this collection focuses on a different Agosti sibling, minus Where Roses Lay, which is instrumental in setting up Lilies and Lies and the subsequent siblings' stories.

    Where Roses Lay
    This story focuses on Jericho and Briar. Jericho is a very successful assassin who has made quite the name for himself. He is surrounded by darkness and when he first sees Briar, an owner of a flower shop, he is instantly obsessed with her and her light. He watches her for 8 long months because he feels that she deserves better than to be exposed to the darkness of his world. When he is finally in the position to make his move, he has no intentions of ever letting her go. I love how Briar was Jericho’s soft place to land and how he was her home base. They each brought out so much in each other and really complimented each other well. This was such a great story!

    Lilies and Lies
    This story focuses on Constantino and Lily. Constantino knew Lily was the one for him as soon as he first laid eyes on her. His obsession for her was instant and all consuming for him. In Where Roses Lay, we saw how Constantino went to some pretty extreme lengths to secure Lily in his web and tie her to him in a permanent capacity. He was most definitely OTT and possessive for his woman and was determined to have her tied to him in all the ways he possibly could. I loved Lily and Constantino together! This was a great addition to the series!

    Plucking His Daisy
    This story focuses on Lorenzo and Daisy. Daisy is the baby of the Agosti siblings and the only girl. She has grown up sheltered and protected because of that fact. Daisy has loved Lorenzo for years but because he was her brother's right hand man and quite a bit older than her, he has always felt out of reach. She didn’t think he would ever return her feelings so she has given up on hoping for their future. She decides to auction off her virginity but never expects Lorenzo to find out about it and to finally claim her as his. She also doesn’t expect for Lorenzo to feel the exact same way about her. I love that they finally got out of their own heads and finally talked about how they felt about each other. I was so glad when they finally got the future that they both wanted with each other. They were so great together and made each other so happy. This was a great story and a great addition to the series!

    The Taste of Temperance
    This story focuses on Luca and Linden. Linden had been on a path of self-destruction when her life was flipped upside down with the car accident that took the life of her boyfriend Dale. After his death, she took steps to get her life on track and find new dreams to achieve. Luca is a member of a very powerful crime family but had always felt like the weak link within the family because of his health. When he got the heart transplant he desperately needed, it opened his life up in more ways than one. It led him on the path to Linden after he looked into his heart donor. He took one look at Linden and immediately knew she was meant for him. He took his time letting her heal and grieve her loss while he helped make her life better from behind the scenes. He was completely obsessive, possessive, and fiercely protective of Linden. He loved her with everything in him. They were exactly who the other needed. I will say, while this story can absolutely be read as a standalone, reading the other stories tied to the Agosti family (Where Roses Lay, Lilies and Lies, and Plucking His Daisy) will definitely enhance the story. This was such a great story and a great addition to the series!.
