The Lion

All is fair in love and war...and when you're a Leonelli, you're always at war.

Dominic "The Lion" Leonelli is a six-time superheavyweight champion and a son of The Leone, the most feared crime family in Boston. Boxing begins as an escape from his father's dark underworld until he enacts revenge on his mother’s killer and lands himself in prison for fifteen months.

Now he’s out, stronger than ever, and determined to take back his title. But he has two problems: he owes his family a debt before he can be free of their control; and his image is in serious need of polishing. The world needs to fall in love with him again.

Enter Natasha Snow. The beautiful, injured ballerina is his new next door neighbor. Natasha is at a crossroads in her demanding career, and her old money aristocratic family is trying to force her into a marriage she doesn’t want.

Natasha is the perfect woman to rehab Dominic’s reputation and he’s just the man she needs to tarnish hers. A fake engagement seems like the perfect solution…until everything starts to go wrong…
