Episode description
This week, Katie and Carl are wrapping up Sinful September by recapping their time at Sinful Signings 2024 before jumping into Our Darling Isabelle By Natoshia Baer, an attending author they were thrilled to meet at the event! This one's a wild and dark mafia romance, so mind! Your! Triggers!
Book Description
She spent her entire life fixing her mother’s mistakes, but this one was different. What can Isabelle do when she is offered up as payment for her mother’s debt? The Barone brothers aren’t used to being told no and they don’t have any hesitation taking what they want. And they want her. Isabelle’s problems only grow when she develops feelings for these brothers, and their enemies become her own.
"Two years. Give us two years and if at the end you still want out, you leave with your debt erased.” I offer. Her eyebrows raise as she thinks it over. A few tense moments pass before she gives a curt nod.
“Fine. But at the end of the two years, I’m leaving.” She says firmly. The thought nearly tears my chest open, but I smile and nod, kissing her lips.
“Deal.” I whispered against her mouth.
I’m a lying son of a bitch. She’s never getting away from us.
