Book Description
MONEY, MURDER, AND MACHIAVELLIAN MAYHEM . . . CONTAINS A NEW EPILOGUE Mafia Prince is the first person account of one of the most brutal eras in Mafia history -- "Little Nicky" Scarfo's reign as boss of the Philadelphia family in the 1980s -- written by Scarfo's underboss and nephew, "Crazy Phil" Leonetti. The youngest-ever underboss at the age of 33, Leonetti was at the crux of the violent breakup of the traditional American Mafia in the 1980s when he infiltrated Atlantic City after gambling was legalized, and later turned state's evidence against his own. His testimony led directly to the convictions of dozens of high-ranking men including John Gotti, Vincent Gigante, and the downfall of his own uncle, Nick Scarfo -- sparking the beginning of the end of La Cosa Nostra (the insiders' term for the Mafia, translated as "This Thing of Ours").

Ann I'm supposed to be doing simple undercover research at the Fancher Institute for the Mentally Ill & Dangerous, but I can't keep my mind off Patient 34. He's startlingly young and gorgeous, but it's not just that. He's strapped way too tightly to that bed. And there's no name or criminal history on his chart. What are these people hiding? My reporter's instincts are screaming. Here's the other thing: the staffers here believe he's so sedated that there's not a thought in his head, but I catch him watching me when nobody's looking. Our connection sizzles when I enter the room. When our eyes meet, I know he understands me in a way nobody else ever has. I'm supposed to follow my editor's orders-I have secrets, too-but everything about Patient 34 is suspicious. How can I not investigate?

Jack I'm the son of Liam O'Reagan, next in line to wear the crown. And when I prove myself worthy, I will RULE over the Irish Mafia. I don't have time for distractions--much less time for a woman who has always been the bane of my existence. When Maeve comes back into my life, I fight like hell to resist the pull she has on me. An attraction that has only grown stronger with time. But, when trouble lands her at my feet, I take the opportunity to have what I truly want. I offer her a deal. I'll help her, but the cost will be one night in my bed. One night of submission. One night to have her completely at my mercy. If only I had known my battle with Maeve would start a war. Maeve Jack is the only one who can help me. Too bad, he hates me. But I have no choice but to go to him. It turns out, hate is a powerful motivator, and I just handed him a way to punish me. He offers me his help--for a price. Everything in his world has a price. One night in his bed. He's everything a woman would want, so this should be easy. Only, I'm a virgin, and he terrifies me. I should run, but I won't. I can't. I just pray this one night doesn't destroy us both.
