MICHAEL

I may not be the official Rossi heir, but the family’s blood runs in my veins. I’ve grown up with violence, vendettas, and the importance of loyalty.

I do what’s best for the family.

But I also know how to color outside the lines.

Penny Lane isn’t supposed to be in this world. She’s my best friend’s little sister, and we’ve worked hard to keep her out of the way. Good college. Real job. No mafia.

But when things go sideways and she ends up with a target on her back, I have to change directions. I bring her into my office as my new assistant so I can keep an eye on her. It’s supposed to be straightforward.

It’s not.

Because I didn’t realize how sexy Penny got while I wasn’t looking. And I can’t seem to keep my hands or thoughts off her. I sure as hell can’t stop wanting to keep her after hours and teach that good girl a thing or two about being bad.

This was just supposed to be business. But the way my body is reacting to her presence…

That’s personal. And I like it.

PENNY

I was never supposed to be here. I’ve known the Rossi and Brennan families since I was a kid, and I’ve always known exactly what they did. But my friends have never let me become part of it. I was on a path to a legitimate job with a good company.

Until a reporter called me, threatening the family I love.

I know what I’m doing. I’m going into the Rossi operation to keep that reporter at bay, and to keep her from sending anyone else. I’m going to protect the family with my own body, if I have to.

The problem is, Michael Rossi is my new boss. And my body wants him for entirely different reasons. Dark reasons. Hot reasons.

I thought this was a good plan. I was protecting the people I love. Getting involved with my brother’s best friend wasn’t supposed to happen.

But once it starts, I don’t know if I can stop it.

Her Target is the first book in Penny and Michael’s story, and the fourth 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 Keeper, which concludes Penny and Michael’s love/hate relationship and features brother’s best friend, 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.
