About the book:

An Italian mobster raises three sons, but Sal’s youngest son, Benito

Banetti, is gay. His father would never permit Ben to be in an openly

gay relationship. But Ben intends to change that when he finds the

man he wants. When it turns out the man Ben’s been seeing is a Banetti

family enemy, his father gives him an ultimatum. Either he marries his

cousin and all is forgotten, or if he chooses to be with Mishka Chernov,

a Russian mobster, he will disown him.


Mishka Chernov took over his family’s business out of love and respect

for his father; however, he has come to realize he isn’t suitable for this

top position in the family. Mishka meets a beautiful man at a sleazy bar,

and when he finds out who this man is, he still wants him regardless of

the problems Ben Banetti would cause his family’s business. Mishka

wants the same freedom and separation from family business that Ben has.

Without Respect is about two men raised by mob bosses, realizing

their families are enemies, but neither is willing to walk away.
