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.*

"You want to act reckless? Fine. But don't think for a second you're not being watched. This city is full of men who'd love to carve a message into you just to make a point." "And what message would you carve?" I whispered. He reached out. Brushed the back of his knuckles down my jaw, rough and slow. "Mine." It wasn't sweet. It wasn't romantic. It was a brand. And then he dropped his hand. "You have ten minutes to get out of here before I make a fucking scene." ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Massimo Bianchi is ruthless, the kind of man who leaves blood in his wake and never looks back. At 29, he's the trusted enforcer for one of the most feared mafia bosses in America - my father, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ghost I never knew but can never escape. I, Francesca DeLuca, have spent my life in the shadows of wealth, too blind to see the truth behind my family's fortune. But when I confront the mysterious man who's been following me, I'm thrown into a world of blood and betrayal, where loyalty is bought and sold like a commodity. Massimo is everything I should fear - cold, dangerous, and bound by an oath to my father. But there's something in the way he looks at me, a dark hunger he refuses to acknowledge. I should hate him, push him away, but the deeper I fall into my family's twisted legacy, the harder it is to resist the pull. But loving a man like Massimo is a risk, and in our world, mistakes are paid for in blood. So the question is - will I be his downfall, or will he be mine?

Can you damage someone beyond repair? Luca plays his role as the loyal underboss. Violent, lethal, flawless. The lapdog, the starboy. On the surface, he maintains his facade of smirks and casual charm, but beneath the mask, thereʼs a profound darkness, a relentless memory of the girl who shattered his heart years ago. Soft, innocent, naive---sheʼs the last thing he needs... yet the only thing heʼs ever wanted. When trouble drags Wren back to New Yorkʼs underworld, she has no choice but to face the past she never outran. She never stopped yearning for the boy who lit up her world seven years ago, the only person who ever made her feel truly alive. Fate throws them back into the same orbit, but can they survive the wreck of their past?

Că ai putea să renunți la tot cu un singur gest, sau că propria viață nu îți mai aparține? Lumea, așa cum o știam noi, cu bune și cu rele, s-a transformat într-o lupta pentru dominație. Viața însăși reprezintă acum un joc al supraviețuirii, joc pe care mulți dintre noi îl pierd. Și totuși, în toată aceasta teroare a atacurilor și în tot întunericul crimelor apare și o fărâmă de lumină. Aruncată în mijlocul necunoscutului, nevoită să lupte pentru supraviețuire și libertate, Emma reușește să înțeleagă cu adevărat necesitatea nemuririi, cât și secretele nebănuite ale vieții. Iubirea, înțelegerea, sacrificiul sunt doar câteva din esențialele lucruri învățate pe parcursul călătoriei sale spre regăsire. Dar, atunci cand este transformata fără voie într-o ființa pe care o detestă, se depărtează fără voie de cei apropiați ei. Apar tot mai multe piedici care lupta pentru distrugerea relatiei cu persoanele cunoscute, tot mai multe secrete ce o fac sa isi piarda increderea de sine. Oare va putea trece peste tot sau va renunta?
