The story of the Lucchese family is a tale as old as time. Cast out of their village in Palermo, Sicily, this mafioso clan has secrets that have been buried for years after breaking the rigorous rules of Cosa Nostra.

For Niccolo Montanari, former Lucchese, life as the brother and underboss to the notorious leader of their criminal organization and mafia tycoon, has been one for the books. 

Heinous and unmerciful, he is the one to fear the most. The scars he conveys tell the treacherous stories of a hitman and the traditional curse that has him bound to his brother's hierarchy.   

With an empire threatened to be destroyed by their enemies and a past very close to exposure that may bring to the surface what lies beneath, the only thing holding this family together is pending catastrophe. 

Niccolo has a plan. It requires a marriage with the damaged principessa and daughter of the barbarous leader of the Calabrian 'Ndrangeta. But is the proclaimed psycho of the family  capable of showing human sentiment, or will this union fail, sending their domain to its pulverizing debacle?

55 parts Complete Mature
𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲. I never thought my world would crumble at the hands of a man like Alessandro Rossi-a 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 draped in silk suits and ruthlessness. One moment, I was Yasenia Fraga, daughter of the powerful Galician mafia Don Juan Fraga, and the next, I was dragged into a war I never asked for. Alessandro didn't just kidnap me, he aggressively took over my life. He ripped me from my peaceful life and thrust me into his darkness, forcing me to marry him to secure his family's grip on my father's territory. To him, I'm nothing more than a bargaining chip, a way to tighten his stranglehold on Galicia. But Alessandro doesn't realize that breaking me will cost him more than he expects. Under all that cruelty lies a sick obsession, one that seeps into every look, every touch, every promise of destruction. He's ruthless, controlling, and heartless, yet something darker stirs between us, something neither of us can deny. In his world, love doesn't exist, only power. And if I want to survive, I'll have to decide if I'll fight him, or let myself be consumed by him. Because one thing is clear-whether I want it or not, I am his. And in his eyes, I always will be. 🔞 #1 - mafiaboss #1 - guns #1 - secrets #5 - forcedmarriage #10 - enemiestolovers #7 - possessive #13 - drama #2 - guns

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.

He was groomed into a life of crime; she was trying to hide from it. She sipped a steaming cup of mocha; he aimed the smoking barrel of a gun. ～·～·～ The city knows danger lurks, especially when his name is mentioned; a notorious mafioso with a reputation calculative in his brutality. His word is law, his decision precise. Little do they know, he has secrets that can kill. She'd never involve herself in the underworld again. Even if each day hurts, she left it behind to start anew. Her instincts are sharp, her defenses strong. But when a botched abduction forces her to confront her demons, she begins to realize the past never truly left. Especially when a man of smoke and mirrors offers her a proposal. One that's dangerous enough to tempt not only a war, but a craving for sweet, sinister darkness. With a detective hellbent on incarceration, and blackmailing moles hiding in plain sight, betrayal never comes from your enemies, and lies never stay buried. They say only the strongest survive. Blood is thicker than water; but in a mafiosi's world, a roll of the dice can leave even a Don choking on his own blood. ～·～·～ Content/trigger warning: depression, sexual content, violence, crude language. Read at your discretion, and enjoy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Updates are indefinite as I'm taking my absolute time with this. Thank you! Beautiful graphics made by my WP bestie @Xaprith ♡٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶

I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefiction
