Her Keeper. New York Rogues: Rossi, The Anniversary Collection, #5

Michael I'm one of the most powerful men in New York. Second-in-line to take over the Rossi clan when my father dies. Head of business operations for the entire family. And the one my brother turns to when he needs help. I've never met a problem I couldn't solve. Until Penny Lane became my assistant. The plan was simple: Hire her so I could keep an eye on her. Protect her from the war brewing in New York.
Make sure she didn't get in the way of people who wanted to use her. But I didn't realize how much she's changed. She's not the innocent little girl I once knew. These days, she's smart. Crafty. And too sexy for her own good. I'm not supposed to want her and I'm damn sure not supposed to touch her. But once I get my first taste of her, I can't stop. I want more. I want it all. And no one is going to stop me. Penny This was always going to be complicated. I've known the Rossi family my entire life, and I've never been scared of them.
But when a reporter sends me to get information on the family, and I go into their midst as a rat. Well, the Rossi soldiers don't let rats live. Even worse, I'm spying on Michael Rossi himself. Wickedly charming. Smoother than butter. And so powerful that I melt every time he touches me. I want him to touch me again. I want this life he's offering me. The glamour and danger of it. The promise that he'll always take care of me. But falling in love with him was never part of the plan. Because if I do, it might cost me my life. Her Keeper is the second book in Penny and Michael's story, and the fifth in the New York Rogues: Rossi series.
The book includes age gap, workplace romance, forbidden love, brother's best friend, grumpy sunshine, kidnapping, car chases, stalkers, and heroes, plus enough spice to make you want a Michael Rossi 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 Rebellion, which begins Dax and Dante's age gap, forbidden relationship and features brother's enemy, forbidden love, age gap, and good girl/bad boy 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.
