About this audiobook
He ordered the fire that killed my godfather. Now I have to live under his roof.
Ninety days. One fragile truce. Two men who should never fall in love.
Nicola Ferrante has spent his life learning to keep his face still, his hands steady, and his feelings where nobody can use them against him. As heir to one of Baltimore's most powerful criminal families, he knows that weakness invites bloodshed. He also knows that some debts can never be paid.
Teague Rooney has spent months grieving the man he lost in a fire that should never have happened. As a union business agent with deep roots in Baltimore's working waterfront, Teague has every reason to hate the Ferrantes, especially Nico, the man whose order cost him someone he loved.
When rival families agree to a ninety-day truce, an old tradition forces each side to surrender a man as a guarantee of peace. Nico is sent to live among the Rooneys. Teague takes his place under the Ferrantes' roof.
Neither man trusts the other. Neither can afford to make a mistake.
But when suspicious shipping records expose a trail of fraud running through the port, Nico and Teague discover that the war between their families may have been built on more than old grudges. Working together means confronting truths neither is ready to face. Keeping their distance becomes harder with every shared secret, every unexpected kindness, and every moment when the man they were taught to hate becomes the one person who truly sees them.
Then the past comes calling, and the fragile trust between them is tested by grief, betrayal, and a world that has no place for a love like theirs.
Nico must decide what his family name is worth. Teague must decide whether love can survive the truth. And both men must face the cost of choosing each other when powerful enemies are determined to keep them apart.
Because in their world, love is never just love. It is a risk, a reckoning, and sometimes the bravest thing a dangerous man can do.
Bad Men Love Hard is a dark MM mafia romance featuring rival families, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, a slow-building emotional connection, criminal conspiracies, and two men fighting for a future neither believed they could have.
