Why we recommend it

The duty is the binding agent — Reilly writes the mafia romance with the duty as the reason for the binding. She is bound by duty, the duty is the initial obligation, and the romance that grows inside the duty-bound relationship is the story of what develops when the duty becomes something more than an obligation.
