Found in Darkness
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.

His Addiction ✓
This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one. ~~~~~~~~ One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with. She lived away from everyone she once knew. She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena. Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet. She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety. She thought that her relationship was left behind. Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness. Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet. After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't. But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her. His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do? And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back. Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake. ~~~~~~~~~ Trigger warnings: includes sexual content, mature language, mature/sensitive themes, scenes with weapons, violence and murder.Complete

Finally, things are looking up for them. The question is, for how long? Join the journey of the D'Angelo siblings, who go through hell and back, facing every single challenge thrown at their face and overcoming it with everyone by their sides.
