For eighteen months, Tessa Evans waited for the man she loved. Now she's done waiting.

Ricky Ricotta disappeared to keep Tessa safe, leaving behind only letters, warnings, and a love neither distance nor time could erase. Hidden in Atlantic City under the name Rocky Raffa, Ricky has built a new life far from the family?and the woman?he sacrificed everything to protect.

But Tessa has changed.

She's stronger, braver, and no longer willing to let Ricky decide what risks she is allowed to take. When she follows his trail to Atlantic City and walks straight into his casino, eighteen months of separation end with one impossible reunion.

Finding Ricky is only the beginning.

As Tessa steps into his dangerous world, the borrowed identity of Mrs. Raffa begins to feel increasingly real. Old enemies threaten the future they are trying to build, family loyalties are tested, and Ricky must decide whether protecting Tessa means keeping her outside his world?or finally trusting her to stand beside him.

Tessa already knows what she wants.

Ricky. The danger. The family. All of it.

And this time, she refuses to be left behind.

The Ricotta Dynasty: Finding Ricky ? Book Two is a steamy mafia romance about second chances, dangerous devotion, family loyalty, and a woman determined to claim her place beside the man she loves.
