Virgin Surrogate & A Underboss

From national bestselling author of "Tall Red Dude With Tattoos," Taniece presents "A Virgin Surrogate & A Underboss"-a scorching tale of possession, protection, and the unhinged men who'll cross every line for the women who own their souls.

After a lifetime of heartbreak, Pre has one rule: no men. Period. But rules shatter when Luciano French storms into her life-six-foot-plus of tattooed, ruthless intensity. The underboss of the city's most feared crime family doesn't ask for what he wants. He takes it. And inexplicably, he wants her.

Luciano needs an heir to secure his position as the next head of the French empire. His brother's reckless behavior threatens everything their family has built. The solution is clinical: find a surrogate, continue the bloodline, keep emotional entanglements out of it. But Pre isn't just another woman. She's an addiction, a weakness he can't afford-and the only one he'll consider to carry his legacy.

Meanwhile, Olympic-bound track star Melody has lived her entire life according to plan. Virgin by choice, focused on her future, she's the last person who should be drawn to a dangerous man. Yet when she crosses paths with the younger, even more volatile French brother, the forbidden nature of their attraction ignites something primal in her innocent heart.

Valentino French embraces chaos like a lover. The family psychopath, he's left a trail of destruction in his wake-until he meets a woman who makes him want to leash his demons. Their connection defies logic and threatens everything, including his loyalty to his brother.

As Pre faces an unexpected proposition that could bind her to Luciano forever, passion overrides reason. One brother offering a business arrangement with pleasure as a bonus; the other pursuing a virgin who should be off-limits. Both unhinged in their determination, both willing to burn down the world for the women who've claimed them.

Blood ties, rival families, and buried secrets collide as these couples navigate dangerous waters. Some souls find each other against impossible odds-and nothing will stop these men from protecting what's theirs, by any means necessary.
