His Silent Sin by AuroraVespera

Isabella Bianchi is a doctor, a woman of logic, discipline, and control....just trying to complete her residency in hospital of Rome. Her life is confined to the walls of the hospital, her heart guarded behind layers of self-built walls. Love is a distraction, an unnecessary burden-especially when she barely has time to breathe. But then there's him. Damian Luciano is a man no one dares to cross-the ruthless new king of the Vercasetti Mafia, feared across Italy. Cold, calculating, untouchable. A man without weaknesses. Except for her. For years, he has watched her from the shadows. Studied her. Wanted her. Has been hers. And now, he is done waiting. When fate-or perhaps something far more dangerous-pushes Isabella into his path, she finds herself ensnared in a deadly game of obsession. Damian is relentless, his devotion terrifying in its intensity. He doesn't ask. He takes. And no matter how hard Isabella tries to resist, every glance, every whisper of his name, only pulls her deeper into the darkness that is him. But love was never meant to be easy, especially not when it belongs to a monster. And Isabella is about to learn that once the Mostro Luciano has chosen his queen... there is no escape. A slow-burn, dark mafia romance filled with intensity, secrets, and a love that blurs the line between devotion and possession.

And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH.

As the sharp-minded daughter of one of New York's most feared mafia bosses, she's been groomed for strength and independence, forced to carry her family's legacy while suppressing her own dreams.

Luca Marino is a force of quiet strength and lethal charisma, an enigmatic leader who prefers peace to violence in a world that respects only power. The Marino family's heir and Isabella's longtime rival, Luca isn't the typical mafia boss-he's thoughtful, fiercely loyal, and painfully aware of the darkness lurking in his past. When he meets Isabella at a lavish gala, sparks fly, and an idea takes root: perhaps an alliance between them could protect both their families...if they can resist their dangerous attraction. But in the brutal underworld they inhabit, nothing is ever simple. As rivals close in and family loyalties are tested, Isabella and Luca's partnership turns into something much deeper and more perilous than either anticipated. Caught between love and duty, they'll have to risk it all-facing betrayal, deception, and deadly secrets-to forge a future on their own terms.

Tough, resilient, and lethal- Cara runs through danger like it's child's play. And as the daughter of an Irish mob boss, she's been placed on a pedestal high up in the clouds, so she already has almost anything she could ever want. And of what she doesn't have, Leonardo "Leo" Ricci- the youngest and most reckless member of the Ricci famiglia surely couldn't provide it for her. But there's something she didn't account for- Leo's wild inhibitions, free-spirited nature, and unwavering devotion, might end up being just what she needs. It doesn't matter though, because the developing burn between the two of them could threaten everything, especially her plans. Plans that she didn't realize were flimsy to begin with, going up in smoke upon chaos being unleashed. Proving just how cursed her little arrangement really was. But in the midst of the destruction that the inferno leaves behind, can she find the blessing in disguise? ❥❥❥❥ - Dark Romance - Reverse Sunshine x Grumpy - Forbidden - Mafia -He Falls First -Forced Proximity
