Found in Darkness by LJRae0328

A crime boss struggles to carry out a vendetta after he falls for the spirited daughter of his enemy. ***** Twenty-two years after his parents were killed, Federico Di Maggio returns to New York with a simple plan: take down the man who betrayed his family. What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems. Hellbent on sabotaging the arrangement, Elenora defies Federico in ways no one else would ever dare. Too bad Federico's never been one to back down from a challenge. Especially one that calls to him in the most feral and passionate of ways. With unforeseen betrayals and new rivals, perhaps the real challenge Federico must face is deciding whether to fight his feelings for Elenora or give into them. But even if he chooses to end his long-standing vendetta against her father for mounting sparks between them, there's no guarantee she'll risk her heart on him. *Content Advisory: This story contains coarse language, scenes with violence and mature sexual content.
