Pain and horror is a normalcy in the mafia world. Many children born into this world have seen dead bodies before they get their license. It's one of the many rules of being a mafia heir, as is never letting the darkness of the underworld touch their women. Wives, sisters, daughters, are all off limits.
Until Aurora Salvatore gets dragged to hell and back by her own husband, Nico Russo, once her family secret gets out. She is missing for over a month before she is found, although she feels as though she died in that dark basement.
Instead of being consumed by the darkness, her familia initiates her into their mafia business and she makes it her life's purpose to hunt her husband down and make him pay for the torture and brutality she faced at his hands.
When the deadliest familia member Dominico Vitale comes home from Italy to avenge his sister's death, he suspects Aurora of betraying the familia. He sends his men to watch her, keeps close tabs on her, yet cannot figure out how she is always 2 steps ahead of him.
The deadly duo quickly learn that they have much more in common than they thought, and work together to find the Russo's before the Russo's find them.

A Treacherous Prince- A Dark Bratva Romance
*𝙱𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚃𝚑𝚛𝚎𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚃𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚜 𝚂𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜* Elowyn They say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. No truer words have ever been spoken. One night, after sneaking out of a dinner party, I witness something I wasn't supposed to. I make a vow to never speak of it, but my word obviously means nothing. The same man whose secrets I vowed to keep turns out to be the leader of the Russian mafia and he's demanding my hand in marriage. But the imposing six foot four blonde Bratva leader isn't as dangerous as he first seems. Under that hardness is a charming and humorous man who might just have the capability to unravel my hatred towards him. Ilya I never knew the hardships that came with running the Bratva. Like finding out my ally has been secretly plotting against me. Eamon Embry and I had a deal but he broke it and now he owes me. What better way to get back at the enemy than taking away his most prized possession. But I quickly realize marrying the short tempered brunette might have been a huge mistake. Not only is she hotheaded and stubborn, but she's also sexy and innocent. Our hate for each other sizzles but our attraction scorches. If we're not careful, we both might just get burned.

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut. (MAJOR PLOT TWISTS) *************************************************** * MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING. * Rape.Abuse.Suicide.Death.Violence.Psychotic. Killing. Obsession. Deranged thoughts. * There will not be any warnings before triggers appear in the book. You have been warned.

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.

A boy who lost all hope in the goodness of the world before he could even experience the world. Aurora eventually learns, even the most deranged, cruel and dangerous people need love. She knows he's dangerous, cold, and considered a monster. But she can't help but only see him as a man who had everything stripped from him before he even got a chance to speak his first word. *This book is more of a romance book than a mafia book.*Concluida

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.Concluida
