Toxic mafia romance set in present day New York.
Serena Bruno turned Serena Caroselli, the new and improved wife of La Cosa Nostra capo, Aurelio Caroselli.
A spoiled, brat-like, irritation in his eyes. In the eyes of others, a prepped, stunning charmer.
Her husband-through an arranged marriage, Aurelio Caroselli, of the high-ranked Caroselli family. A trigger-happy, no nonsense, bastard in her eyes. In the eyes of others, an apathetic killing psycho.
Through a year of whirlwind chaos, the two find themselves in and out of a truce of peace. Their personalities and mannerisms as alike to Motley Crüe and Katy Perry. In two different worlds.
Book 1 of 3.
Nico Desantis and Chiara Russo are sworn enemies.
When three bullets meant for Nico find their mark, it's Chiara, his fiery rival, who defies everything to save him.
The act sparks an unwanted obsession in Nico, a hunger not just for power, but for the woman who cheated death for him. To secure a fragile peace, a ruthless bargain is struck - an arranged marriage.
Chiara, now bound to the man who once threatened everything she and her family ever worked for, vows to make him regret the day their lives became entangled. But Nico, consumed by a possessive desire, will stop at nothing to claim her heart, even if it means setting their warring empires ablaze.
In a world where love and loyalty are luxuries, this marriage of convenience might just become their undoing.
