ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 6, 2026

Terina
My husband was murdered on a rainy Tuesday afternoon,
Leaving me widowed and harboring an unbearable secret shame.

I never want to know that sort of guilt again.

Five years later, when my life is threatened by the Russian mob,
My older brother assigns his best friend as my bodyguard.
But I refuse to allow another man to risk himself for me.

DiAngelo Farina doesn’t care about my refusal.
He vows death to anyone who touches me.

The man is ruthlessly loyal and heartless in the execution of his duties.
He values his Mafia oath above all else.

And in his attempt to break my will,
He exposes a side of me I never knew existed.
A side that craves submission and surrender.

My protector turns to teacher,
But can I learn to trust him with my body and my life?

REVIEW:HUNTER’S KEEP is the third instalment in Jill Ramsower’s contemporary, adult THE MORETTI MEN erotic, Mafia romance series, a spin off, set in the author’s Byrne Brothers and Five Families worlds. This is Mafia Capo DiAngelo Farina, and Terina Donati-Kirkland’s story line. HUNTER’S KEEP can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Approximately twenty years earlier DiAngelo Farina lost his twin brother Elio to a blackmailer, leaving a grieving DiAngelo and his family in its’ wake. Presently, and five years earlier Terina’s husband was murdered but the Donati family refused to tell Terina the truth, and in the aftermath Terina uncovered her husband’s secrets and lies. Fast forward to present day, Terina is targeted, DiAngelo has been assigned as guardian and protector but as the days and weeks pass, someone is taking aim at the Donati family.

The world building follows several pathways including Terina’s guilt and grief about the death of her husband ; DiAngelo’s grief in the wake of his brother’s murder, and the search for an assassin who has been hired by the Russian Bratva.

The relationship between DiAngelo and Terina is a best friend’s sister, protector relationship. DiAngelo is best friends with Terina’s brother Renzo, and works for the family ‘business’. DiAngelo has kept his distance but protecting our heroine brings our couple up close and personal, and when the truth is revealed, Terina is ready to move on with her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and determined, many of whom were introduced in the author numerous interconnected series. We are introduced to DiAngelo’s parents, as well as Terina’s best friend Isa, and the return of Terina’s brother Tommaso ‘Tommy’ Donati, Renzo and Shae (Craving Chaos 5) and their mother Azzurra.

HUNTER’S KEEP is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is edgy, dramatic and captivating; the romance is seductive ; the character are forceful, desperate, dynamic and animated. HUNTER’S KEEP ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
