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.
Trapped in a gilded cage, Serena DeLuca has spent her life under the ruthless control of her powerful mafia family. When her father arranges her marriage to the sadistic crime lord Vincenzo Moretti, she knows escape is her only chance at survival. Fleeing in the dead of night, she seeks refuge in the last place anyone would expect-the domain of Dante Romano, Moretti's most feared rival.
Cold, calculating, and utterly ruthless, Dante sees Serena as the perfect pawn in his war against Moretti. But Serena refuses to be used, challenging the don at every turn with a fire that both infuriates and tempts him. As tensions rise and blood is spilled, their dangerous game of power and defiance gives way to something neither of them expected-desire.
But in a world where love is a weakness and betrayal lurks in every shadow, can their passion survive the storm of war? Or will Serena be forced to choose between the man who owns her fate and the one who has stolen her heart?
