Sequel - Mafia's Desire - is out on my profile now! The moment I approached his isolated mansion in the middle of the woods, I knew my life was forever changed. The moment I laid my eyes on him, I knew my life was forever changed. The moment he showed me the first hint of kindness, I knew my life was forever changed. The moment he first kissed me, I knew my life was forever changed. Arsenio Campione, leader of the Campione organized crime family, saved me, a broken girl who had escaped from a broken home. **** He moved up and sat on his knees between my legs. His hands gripped my hips. "I need you, Arsenio. Please," I begged. I knew he wanted this too, but he was hesitant. He wanted to make sure I was serious, and I was. I had never been so sure of anything. I wanted him. He tightened his hold on my bare hips. "I can't hold back anymore, Eloise. I need you, too." "I don't want you to hold back," I whispered against his lips. Disclaimer: I do not speak Italian. I translated English to Italian using Google Translate. Also, thanks @idemen-san for creating the cover!

| 2025 Wattys Shortlist 🖊️🧡! In Cairnwall, 1972, unaware of the mobster who has been threading across the narrow line of near psychotic obsession for over a year, finally makes himself known to her. His unwavering attraction to her is forbidden, frowned upon by many, and they both know this. But he doesn't care. Before her, no one was able to crack through his mask, but she smashes through it without effort-without needing to say a word. She makes his heart-something he cast aside long ago-stumble and stammer with a simple smile. Her breath catches when he glances her way, her heart burning when he pulls away, but she would rather push him away, keep their coupling hidden away, locked behind closed doors, and deep within the depths of the shadows. She wants to protect herself from the scrutiny society will cast upon her for having the gall to be with him, but he wants to put her on his throne and make society kiss her feet. What will happen when two worlds that should not even glide past each other end up crashing?

When a real estate billionaire attempts to evict a millionaire matchmaker's business from his new building, they clash in a deal of head vs. heart, only to discover they're each other's perfect match. Standalone in The Elite Matchmaker Series *** Love is Iris' business. Boston's elite matchmaker has built a thriving company by finding perfect pairings. Her expansion dreams screech to a halt when she finds a hot, sexy stranger sitting in her office like he owns the place. Turns out, he does, and the new building owner, Xavier, wants her "scam" business out. The man wouldn't know love if it sat on his infuriatingly handsome face. Locked in a heated argument, Iris proposes an impossible deal: three months to find the perfect match for any client he chooses. When she succeeds, he'll publicly endorse her matchmaking, but if she fails, she'll pack up without a fight. The last thing she expects is the billionaire to call her bluff and nominate himself for the bet. Botched screenings, auto-rejections-Xavier sabotages every potential match thrown his way. But as their conflict sparks something far more dangerous than competitive rivalry, and succumbing to their steamy, forbidden attraction provokes every emotion Iris has sworn off, she faces an even bigger problem. With the deal clock ticking, breaking her cardinal rule-never fall for a client-is the one match she can't afford to make.
