Dax

Look, my life isn't simple. But I know what to expect. As head of the Romano family, I've taken us out of the Underworld and into the light.
We still kill. We still blackmail. And I'll destroy any man who gets in my way.
These days, I just do it in the name of business. And I like it that way.
Then Dante Rossi stumbles into my life, all blond curls and wide blue eyes. She's as tiny as she is passionate, a spitfire in a body no eighteen-year-old girl should own. And she wants a favor. Her family is in trouble and needs an alliance with mine. The surety of Romano money and soldiers.
I want to tell her no. She's trouble that I don't need. But when I accidentally save her from an assassin and have her pressed up against a wall for her protection, I start to change my mind.
She's half my age. She belongs to a rival family. And she's bringing war right to my doorstep. But I want her. I want to take her into my house and do bad things to her. Find out how far that just-a-girl act actually goes. Show her things she's never seen before.
Because Dante Rossi? She makes me want to bend my morals and do bad things. And she needs my help.
Help that I might be willing to give. For the right price.

Dante
The Romano family is one of the oldest in the city. Unimaginable wealth. Loyal soldiers. Limitless power.
And Dax Romano.
The moment I meet him, I know I'm in trouble. He's silver-fox hot with his electric blue eyes and salt-and-pepper hair. Power drips off him. Strength, and money, and danger.
I know what he sees when he looks at me: the Rossi princess. A girl half his age. Someone who doesn't know what she's getting into. And he likes it. I can see that much in his eyes. Feel it when he touches me. Hear it in his voice.
He wants me, and I can use that. It's all part of the plan.
But falling in love with him? That isn't.
Because once I fall, Dax Romano might be the only one who can save me. And I'm not sure that's a contract I'm ready to sign.

Her Rebellion is the first book in Dax and Dante's story, and the sixth in the New York Rogues: Rossi series. The book includes age gap, forbidden love, brother's enemy, grumpy sunshine, kidnapping, car chases, stalkers, and heroes, plus enough spice to make you want a Dax Romano of your very own.

The Anniversary Collection features new edits and bonus scenes for this series, with special edition covers and sneak peeks at future books. For more in the Rossi series, move to Her Master, which concludes Dax and Dante's age gap romance and features brother's enemy, forbidden love, age gap, and grumpy/sunshine themes.

Note: Although New York Rogues: Rossi is a series, each couple's story contains a full plot and can be read separately. Suggested reading order is His Obsession, Her Romeo, Her Hero, Her Target, Her Keeper, Her Rebellion, and Her Master, but His Obsession, Her Romeo, Her Target, and Her Rebellion are all entry points to the series. Supplementary books to the series are Dare You and Tell Me, which take place inside the series with a secondary character.
