Description:
RETRIBUTION: An Interpol agent playing a
dangerous game.A Mafia princess. A man determined to exact retribution...
Nick Clarkston, a young Interpol agent,
threatens to undo the fragile peace between the Lucchesi and Andretti families
when he tries to take down the Mafia don father who abandoned him. He allies
with his father's sworn enemy, a mobster both devious and ruthless. The
mobster's alluring daughter helps Nick negotiate the murky criminal underworld,
but he soon learns she's using him. Trapped, and with nowhere to turn, Nick
makes a tragic mistake that plunges him further into danger.
Delfina Andretti appears to be the typical
Mafia princess--but this princess wants out. Delfina dreams of being a fashion
designer, and hooking up with Nick is her ticket out of an arranged marriage.
Her feelings for Nick are genuine, but he's leery of her. Even worse, his
heedless drive for justice threatens to get them both killed and to put
everyone Delfina loves behind bars--unless she and Nick can forge a new future
for their warring families.
Reviews:
"The suspense keeps the pages moving
quickly in book two of the Blood and Honor series. There are numerous
characters, but Delamar does a wonderful job of incorporating them so that
readers keep abreast of the story. A fast pace, credible characters and a
complex plot guarantee hours of entertainment." -- RT Book Reviews, 4
stars
"Retribution was great... oh so damn
great. So this is the second book in the Blood and Honor series and I loved it
even better than the first one.... Another wonderful story filled with action,
love, forgiveness, and some awfully hot steamy scenes! This story was
beautifully written and I hope you pick it up and read it!" -- Reading on
the Wild Side blog, 4.5 stars
"You are kept on the edge of your seat
until the very last page, just like at the end of "Revenge", "Retribution"
has a teaser for the next novel that makes me excited to read the next novel.
If you liked "Revenge" you will love "Retribution"; this is
easily a stand alone novel; I'm just glad that there is more to come in this series."
-- Steph's Book Retreat blog, 4.5 stars

Excerpt:
Nick turned the music up and caught
Delfina’s eye. Was it just his imagination, or had she been admiring his bare
arse? “Watching me, were you?” he asked, keeping his voice pitched low.
She blushed, roses staining her cheeks. His
chest felt lighter than it had in weeks. “I’m not answering that.”
He strode over to her and leaned in,
forcing her to sprawl back on the bed, caged within his arms. He placed his
lips near her ear. “Your blush told me everything. Every single naughty thought
you were having.”
“Madonna,” she muttered and braced her
hands against his chest. “You’re getting a swollen head.”
He darted his tongue out and ran it along
the edge of her ear. “Most certainly.” He put a knee up on the bed and rubbed
his hard length along her thigh.
She laughed and pushed against him, but he
didn’t budge. “Time to get undressed,” he whispered. Her hands went to the
buttons that ran down the front of the silk blouse tucked into her skirt. She
played with the top one.
“Now?” she asked, her voice lilting and
playful.
“Now.” He rumbled the word in her ear and
she shivered. “Take it off. I want to see you. All of you.”
