In the Arms of a Mobster
Power is not given it's taken. In the heart of a city plagued by corruption and shadows, where the line between justice and criminality blurred, an unlikely collision of fate was about to unfold. This is the story of two souls from opposite sides of the law, whose lives intertwined in a forbidden dance of desire and danger. Silas Luciano, the illustrious son of the city's most notorious mafia. Silas commands power and fear with an iron fist. His striking presence, sharp intellect, and ruthless demeanor made him an enigma to those who dared to cross his path. On the other side of the spectrum stood Imani Falcone, a brilliant attorney her reputation as a formidable courtroom adversary and her unwavering moral compass made her a beacon of hope for those seeking redemption in a city tainted by crime. Their paths had never crossed until a high-profile case thrust Imani into the heart of Silas's world. She found herself defending a client accused of a crime that struck at the heart of Silas's empire. It was a dangerous game they were about to play, where desire and danger walked hand in hand. As their worlds collided, Silas and Imani confronted the unyielding forces that sought to tear them apart. Loyalties would be tested, sacrifices made, and the very fabric of their lives would be forever altered. In a city where power and passion collided, where law and crime danced a treacherous tango, the unlikely union of a lawyer and a soon to be mafia boss would challenge the boundaries of love, and test the strength of their resolve. #1 in mafiaman 11/23/24 #1 in Mobties 11/23/24 #4 in Italian 11/23/24 #5 in slow burn 11/23/24 #1 in Mobties 3/10/25Terminé

Was our love really so weak that a mere accident and a few misunderstandings were enough to shatter it? He said he trusted me. I trusted him too. But when everything fell apart, he didn't choose me.

And the man I am ordered to execute- is the same man I once loved.

With our little cookie, who never even got the chance to be born. --- In love and war, only one can survive- but some hearts refuse to die. --- Dive in to discover whether she finishes what she started, or walks away with nothing but the ashes of the man she loved- or maybe still does. ---

His Addiction ✓
This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one. ~~~~~~~~ One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with. She lived away from everyone she once knew. She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena. Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet. She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety. She thought that her relationship was left behind. Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness. Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet. After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't. But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her. His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do? And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back. Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake. ~~~~~~~~~ Trigger warnings: includes sexual content, mature language, mature/sensitive themes, scenes with weapons, violence and murder.Terminé

Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.Terminé
