Bonded to Leo Caparucci: A Cowboy / Mafia / Stepbrothers MM Romance

Carter I've worked hard my entire life to be the person that everyone expects me to be, the perfect son and the perfect little Catholic, bound by the rules and expectations of others. But underneath those masks, I crave someone I can never have, a relationship that goes against God's law, and the freedom to live the way I want. After years of shoving my feelings down, I've finally gotten to a place where I don't even consider them any longer. Until the night he showed up and ruined everything. My stepbrother, Leo Caparucci, is the opposite: a walking nightmare, a spoiled, self-centered, openly bisexual mafia prince who couldn't care less about others, and he just became my biggest problem. Leo I shouldn't even be here. The plan was always for me to be named the next Don of my family, but somehow I ended up on my dad's cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere, stuck with my bratty stepbrother. Carter Montagna is hot as hell, smart and self-confident...well, at least that's the image he tries to project, but I see right through his perfect cowboy persona. Underneath the façade, there's a man starved for affection, too concerned with pleasing others to act on his own desires. But there's more beneath the surface, and if anyone is gonna crack that mask he's wearing-it's gonna be me. Bonded to Leo Caparucci is a spicy, slow-burn, stepbrothers, grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, cowboy/mafia romance with forced proximity, banter, and lots of heat.
