The name of Alana Wollstonecraft was known to everyone in the criminal world. The name of a woman proved that patriarchal foundations are outdated and that women can also rule the mafia. That was my name. After going through hell in my life, I went back to work, starting to supply exclusive cars to wealthy people and launder money through casinos, but the scars still reminded me of the realm of the dead, in which I spent several months. Nobody ever had to know about my past. 

But Vincent Boyd found out. This mysterious dark-haired man suddenly appeared next to my brother. His body and soul were covered with the same scars as mine. We both have a past that made us who we are now.

metanoia is the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life; spiritual conversion.

Deviant Prince [Romano Brotherhood, #2] by mysamar
61 parts Ongoing Mature
𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else explains his creepily minimalistic apartment décor, strange antisocial behavior, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the bloody body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption. Capo of the increasingly powerful Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies perfect control and restraint. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity of his is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance with mature content and dark themes. Read at your own discretion. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series ]

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
