[BOOK TWO] in which the girl who lost it all reunites with the boy who took it all away from her. cover by @thirstymalfoy

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

(BOOK 3 OF MAFIA LOVE SERIES) COMPLETED READ MIA REGINA AND ESCORT ME BABY BEFORE YOU READ THIS. This book CANNOT be read as a standalone. * The real story and rule begins now. Once you're in the mafia, death is the only way out. * "Make me hate you so that I don't fall for you again." "You can't fall in love again if you never fell out of it, my love." * My King. Mio Re. * In attempts to protect my only family, I pushed the love of my life away. It killed me, but I knew it killed him more. Now that I see him again, all the love and pain is rushing back and I can't stop it. He's not the man I once loved. I barely recognize this lifeless body that is somehow living. I broke him. I killed him. And I regret it. * A lot happens in four years. People change, circumstances change, feelings change, lovers change, but one thing remains the same. First love and pain. Secrets are kept hidden from the people they shouldn't be and new ones cave in, but when the thin veil is lifted from them, all hell is bound to break loose, especially in the mafia world where hell resides on earth. * Arie and Leo meet once again when they least expect to. The fire that once burned within, ignites back up with more fuel to add to it. The cravings, lust, and love is more powerful than it has ever been, but they're bound by relations and family to even look at one another. Two weeks is all they have to get through and then they don't have to see each other ever again. Hate is what they want to feel, but how can you hate someone you desperately love? She gets pulled back into the mafia world that she desperately wanted to escape, but the darkness and the man at the middle of it all are very alluring. Once you're in it, things are bounds to happen, relations are bound to break, people are bound to be killed, and family is bound to be saved or torn apart completely. MATURE CONTENT SUCH AS SEXUAL SCENES, FILTHY LANGUAGE, TRIGGERING MOMENTS, AND VIOLENCE.

Deadly assassins Allegra and Ace have been trying in vain to kill each other for years. With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist... ****** Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.

After unknowingly saving a mafia boss from a botched bank robbery, Kiara accepts an offer to work for him as a translator, not realizing love may become part of the package. ***** Though Kiara Payne may be a genius when it comes to languages, what she knows of the real world largely comes from books and movies. But after foiling a robbery on her first day as a bank teller, Kiara finds herself thrust into a world of danger, her life resting in the hands of the infuriatingly sexy Italian mafia boss Milo Di Vaio. In exchange for her safety, Kiara agrees to serve as Milo's translator, accompanying him across Europe as he tries to clean up the mess his late brother left behind and save the reputation of the Di Vaio crime family. Cold, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful, Milo is hard to resist but even harder to love. As tensions rise and secrets are spilled, Milo and Kiara are both forced to question everything they thought they knew. Does love outweigh loyalty? And if so, is it worth dying for?
