Following a heartbreaking sacrifice and a painful goodbye, Sophie is finally free to carve her own path and seek the life she has dreamt of since birth. After months in harrowing captivity, the world she once knew is unrecognizable. Her husband is gone. Friends and family, everything she cherished, have vanished. The cost of her freedom is far greater than she ever anticipated.

Facing the demons of her past while striving to discover her true self has proven to be a struggle. This changes when her past unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep, forcing her to confront the truth that lies within.

That, without love, freedom is meaningless.


This is the second and final installment of the two-part Cosa Nostra series. This dark romance contains triggers, violence, and mature themes that may make some readers uncomfortable.

Genre: Dark Romance | Mafia | Arranged Marriage | Enemies-to-Lovers | Angst Summary: Sia Sharma was never meant to marry the powerful and feared Italian mafia boss, Alessandro De Luca. It was supposed to be Mira - Sia's charming, selfish step-sister. But when Mira ran away days before the wedding, their greedy father and stepmother forced Sia - the forgotten daughter - back from New York to take her place. Without explanation. Without choice. Alessandro, furious and humiliated, believes Sia tricked her way into his life for power and money. He hates her with a passion. His cruelty knows no bounds. But Sia is not the girl he thinks she is - and Alessandro has no idea about the darkness that lurks within the Sharma family... darkness that is now aimed at both of them. As Alessandro's hatred slowly turns into an obsession, and then into something dangerously close to worship, Sia finds herself trapped between a man who could destroy her... and a love that could set her free.

She doesn't know what I've done for her. How many bodies I've buried. How many sins I've committed in her name. She's everything I should stay away from. Soft where I am hard. Chaos where I am order. A temptation so dangerous, it should be a death sentence. But I can't stop. I can't stop watching her, wanting her, losing sleep over the way she lingers like a curse in the nightmares she inhabits. She calls me heartless, and like everyone, I let her believe it. She doesn't know that every step she takes away from me is another step toward a man who won't live long enough to touch what's mine. I saved her from the fire long ago, the same one I caused. And now, the flames are swallowing me whole. 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*
