Follow the Gallo siblings as they fulfill their passionate desires and find their happily ever afters. The Men of Inked Southside the Complete Series features: MANEUVER - Book 1: This isn't how fairy tales typically begin, but it's where mine starts... No money, no phone, and abandoned on the streets of Chicago. With my baby in my arms, I wander into a bar in a shady neighborhood and ask to use their phone. When my father turns us away and completely disowns me, the bar owner, and total hottie, offers us a place to stay...no strings attached. I'm leery at first. Hot guy. Down on her luck single mother. I mean, who wouldn't be? Lucio Gallo isn't like most men, though. He's fiercely protective, loyal, and did I mention he's covered in nothing but muscle? Above all else, he's everything I need but never knew I wanted. FLOW - Book 2: The moment I looked into his eyes, I knew I was in trouble. The second I heard his name, I knew I should stay away. Our fathers were mortal enemies--Chicago crime bosses from rival families. But that didn't stop Leo Conti from pursuing me. Being together was dangerous, reckless, and totally hot. He wanted me. I wanted him. What could possibly go wrong? HOOK - Book 3: Falling in love is supposed to be the easy part. But nothing prepared me for losing my wife. I promised her that I'd love again. Find someone to mend my broken heart. And that seems impossible, until the day that I walk into Tilly Carter's cupcake shop. I've never met a woman like her--sassy, dirty-mouthed, and smells like vanilla and sin. Someone that makes me want to sweep her off her feet. But there's pain in her emerald eyes that mirrors my own. A past that neither of us can truly escape. Now that I have her, I'll do anything to keep her. HUSTLE - Book 4: Vinnie Gallo's the hottest rookie in professional football. He's a smooth-talker, good with his hands, and knows how to score. Bianca Hernandez thinks she's immune to Vinnie's charms. She's not impressed by the glitz, glamour, or fame, but after a six month self-imposed break from men, she feels her resistance slipping. Nothing will stop Vinnie from trying to get the girl-not a crazy stalker, Bianca's two older brothers, or the fear he's falling in love. LOVE - Book 5: Angelo and Tilly never thought they'd find love again...but they're about to say 'I do'. Finding love once is hard, but twice is almost impossible. I'd almost given up, but then Tilly Carter walked into my life. The sweet talkin' Southern girl stole my heart. With my future walking down the aisle, and my entire family by my side, it's time to make her mine forever.
