Book Three of The Possession Trilogy Luciella De'Rosa Ferraro was never meant to be the victim. Not in a world she helped rule. Not with a man like Matteo Ferraro at her side. But power means nothing when you're stolen in the dark. Just weeks after their wedding, Luciella vanishes-ripped from her world and dragged back into a past she thought she had buried for good. Imprisoned, isolated, and at the mercy of a man who has waited years for revenge, she is forced into a living nightmare where control no longer belongs to her. And this time... she isn't alone. Carrying a secret that raises the stakes higher than ever, Luciella is pushed to her limits-physically, mentally, and emotionally. Tortured, broken, and stripped of everything she once commanded, she clings to one fragile hope: that Matteo will find her. That he won't stop searching. That he won't give up. But as days turn into weeks, doubt begins to creep in. Maybe he's too late. Maybe he's lost in his own guilt. Maybe even the most powerful man in New York can't save her from this. So Luciella does what she has always done best. She survives. Summoning the last of her strength, she turns the tables in a final, desperate act of defiance-proving that even at her weakest, she is still lethal. But victory comes at a cost, and when her body finally gives out, she's left on the edge between life and death. Until she wakes. A hospital room. A fragile breath. And Matteo-broken, desperate, and praying for the woman he refuses to lose. Because this wasn't just a kidnapping. It was a war. And now that Luciella is back... there will be consequences.

Book Two of The Possession Trilogy Luciella De'Rosa has everything she fought for-power, control, and a man ruthless enough to stand beside her. Engaged to Matteo Ferraro and ruling a united empire, Luciella now sits at the top of New York City's criminal underworld. Together, they are untouchable. Unbreakable. Or so they thought. Because someone has been watching her. Someone who remembers exactly who she used to be. Seven years ago, at just sixteen, Luciella made her first kill. A moment that should have been buried in the past-handled, erased, forgotten under her father's rule. But not all mistakes stay hidden. Not all enemies stay dead. Now, the past has come back for her. It begins with whispers-unknown numbers, lingering shadows, threats that feel far too personal. Then it escalates into something far more dangerous. Someone is hunting her the way she once hunted others... and this time, there's no one left to clean up her mess. Matteo refuses to let her face it alone. Bound by loyalty and love, he stands at her side, vowing to protect her at any cost-even if it means dragging her away from the empire they built. Even if it means war. In the midst of chaos, they cling to one thing untouched by blood: their future. A wedding in Italy promises a brief escape-a moment of peace in a world that never stops demanding more. But peace never lasts. The moment Matteo is pulled away on business, the illusion shatters. Because Luciella De'Rosa isn't just being threatened anymore. She's been claimed. Taken by a ghost from her past, Luciella is forced into a deadly game where survival means confronting the very thing she's tried to outrun for years. And this time, power won't save her. Because she's not the hunter anymore. She's the one who's been marked.

Book One of The Possession Trilogy Luciella De'Rosa doesn't just belong to the mafia-she commands it. By day, she rules one of New York City's most powerful crime empires with ruthless precision. By night, she becomes something far more dangerous-a silent predator, feared by those who dare cross her path. Cold, calculated, and fiercely independent, Luciella has built her empire on control... and she doesn't intend to lose it. Until the night she's seen. Matteo Ferraro-equally powerful, equally dangerous, and far too observant-catches Luciella in the middle of a kill. An uneasy alliance binds them, but trust is another matter entirely. They are not friends. They are not allies by choice. Yet from that moment on, their lives become impossibly, irrevocably intertwined. What begins as tense encounters and reluctant cooperation spirals into something far more volatile: late-night meetings, whispered secrets, high-stakes dinners, and a connection neither of them can afford. One mistake leads to another, and suddenly, lines blur between duty and desire, power and passion. As their empires begin to merge, so do their worlds-bringing with them a dangerous circle of allies and enemies alike. Valerio D'Angelo, Alejandro Russo, and Luciella's fiercely loyal partner Arabella Romano stand at their side, while the stakes rise higher than ever before. Together, they form a force unlike anything New York has ever seen: The Italian New York Mafia. But power comes at a price. With enemies closing in, betrayal lurking in the shadows, and violence never far behind, Luciella and Matteo must decide what matters more-control... or each other. Because in their world, love isn't just dangerous. It's deadly.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
