Originally called (Mafia and the Golden girl) They call him the devil in Prada, chaos in tailored skin. A ghost prowling the streets of California with vengeance and mayhem in his veins. Rodion doesn't make mistakes, and when he hunts, he doesn't miss. When his trail leads to Alessia Romero, he doesn't hesitate to strike. Alessia knows how to charm by mixing the perfect coffee. She draws cartoon arts that will steal your heart and upgrades her boyfriends like seasonal wardrobes. But her latest boyfriend comes with a deadly price: a kidnapping that throws her into Rodion's dark world, where silence is punished and loyalty is tested in blood. Rodion wants answers she doesn't have and mercy isn't in his vocabulary. But in the depths of this violent new world, Alessia uncovers something no one was ever meant to find: a secret that could bring Rodion to his knees. And it might be her only way out of this hell. _____ W A R N I N G Privileged for having scenes that would be deemed MATURE!

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.*
