Lies like Rubies, Part One by Poppy Jacobson

Lies Like Rubies is a two part mafia series that follows Sofia, the Mafia Princess as she straddles the line between her regular and mafia life. But, when you’re “Sofia f*cking Russo”, it doesn’t necessarily work that way. To find protection for her daughter from her ex, she reaches out to another dangerous man for help. We’re introduced to Dante, who helps her find her pleasure in ways she never thought she would; Nick, the sweet pediatrician; and Lorenzo, her old bodyguard/crush. Who will she end up with?  As always, mind your triggers, as there are quite a few! 
“Because it’ll hurt that much more when I’m cruel to you later”
