Anastasia Mancini; everyone in the underworld knows her name, the Fiore Mortale. After her Grandfather murdered her parents, she was raised as his personal assassin, learning to kill without so much as a second thought. People fear her, men fall on their knees before her, her beauty transfixing them as they know the only time she'll visit is if it's the last face they'll ever see. 

Vincenzo De Santis; the Don of the Italian-French Mafia. After taking over leadership from his father, Vincenzo made a name for himself, becoming the most cruel and ruthless Don ever known, determined to create a legacy of fear and power. 

Both are set on killing the other, Anastasia on orders from her Grandfather, and Vincenzo driven by protecting his family. When the two lock eyes they're the first not to feel the shiver of dread crawl up their spine upon meeting the other, both consumed by a hatred. 

But what happens when they're forced to work together on a joint mission? Will their hate prevail? Or will fate somehow find a way?

----

I feel all hope vanish when I see a cruel smile make its way to his lips, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. 

"Say that again, Anastasia," he says, the way he says my name making my stomach drop. 

I bite my tongue and swallow my pride, sucking in a sharp breath, "I need your help," I rasp, my voice barely audible. 

He chuckles and leans against the doorframe, his eyes raking down my body. 

"Well then get on your knees and beg for my help."All Rights Reserved

She just does not know who the real Savannah is. Can Don Sandrino pull it out of her? Can he make her love again? Or will their dysfunctional romance end in death and heartbreak? *** "You know, anyone who calls me Fabricio usually ends up dead, or really hurt, anyone who dares call me Pugliesi gets their tongue chopped off and forced to swallow it, then they die," said a voice from behind me. "Well, Fabricio Sandrino Pugliesi Russo, what are you going to do to me now?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows. "Is playing chicken one of your favourite games?" he asked, laughing. "Yes, because I always win." He laughed again. What the fuck is going on? I never make people laugh, well I never have anyone around to talk to except Nadia, who never laughs at anything, but still. "I'm waiting for you to chop my tongue out, Fabricio," I was toying with him, seeing whether his threats were real. *** THIS IS AN ACTION ROMANCE, WITH GRUESOME SCENES AND SEXUAL SCENES.

Bloodlines and Bullets by rorys_wrld

What happens when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time? She is just at the beginning of her year-long world travels when she falls into the hands of him - an Italian mafia Don driven by the thirst for answers and revenge. When there is something else thrown into the mix - obsession. But is it the healthy kind? -- "I can see it, you know," he continues, his voice as smooth and dangerous as the edge of a blade. "The fear you're trying so hard to hide. The way your hands tremble ever so slightly, the way your breath catches in your throat when I'm close like this." My hands instinctively curl into fists at my sides, nails digging into my palms as I struggle to maintain control. He tilts his head, studying me like a predator sizing up its prey, his proximity suffocating. "You should be scared," he says, the words laced with an unsettling certainty. "Because when I'm done with you, there won't be anything left of that defiance you're so proud of." A shiver runs down my spine. "I've faced worse than you," I manage to grit out, though my voice is barely above a whisper. "And I'm still standing." His lips curve into a sinister smile, a glint of something dark and twisted flashing in his eyes. "We'll see how long that lasts." "Let's go." "No." --

Desolation: Vichiorggio Mafia Series by AidinWhite

[Book One of The Vichiorggio Mafia Trilogy] Alvaro All my life I knew I'd one day become Don of the Vichiorggio Famiglia, I knew who I was, and what I needed to be to best all who opposed the Famiglia. I could predict my enemies moves, and manipulate every secret to my whim. The one thing I couldn't predict, was her. I was given the daughter of another Famiglia to unify the East Coast, a beacon of light in the world of darkness, and death. I had vowed to give myself and my loyalty and honour to La Cosa Nostra, to the Famiglia. But somewhere along the line she put that to the test. Anastasia I'd heard the rumours about him, that he was cold and cruel, that anyone who opposed the Famiglia feared him. I was told I'd be given to him as his wife, to honour and respect him, and to unite our families. The Mafia is no place for love, or kindness, it was taught to be nonexistent in the hearts of made men. And I expected no less from my husband, but somehow his coldness towards me in our marriage was worse. Yet I wasn't willing to give up on him, not as his Famiglia crumbled around him, not when there was a chance for me, for us. And if I was going to have more in this life, I'd honour the vows we spoke to one another on our wedding day, even if it meant for better or for worse.
