In the heart of the lush Italian countryside, nestled among sprawling vineyards, lies the illustrious Borelli Winery, a sprawling estate known for its rich history of winemaking and a hidden world of organized crime. Rosaleen Conroy, a spirited and strong-willed young woman, toils beneath the sun-drenched vines, nurturing grapes and crafting exquisite wines, oblivious to the dangerous secrets that her workplace conceals.
Rosaleen's life takes a tumultuous turn when a dark sedan glides through the vineyard gates, and the charismatic yet enigmatic Marco Borelli, the dashing soon-to-be don of the powerful Borelli Mafia, arrives for an unexpected visit. As heir to the mafia empire, Marco has always been surrounded by danger and intrigue, but when Rosaleen finds Marco over the dead body of an unfortunate soul amongst the vines, she has no choice but to bend to the man's will.
Marco had not intended for an innocent (maybe even nosy) worker to find him in this predicament. He proposes a marriage of convenience to the unsuspecting vineyard worker. Rosaleen is thrust into a world of opulence, extravagance, and danger as she is forced to accept the proposal, aware that she cannot refuse the don without severe consequences.
As the two souls from vastly different worlds clash and collide, they must navigate a treacherous path filled with rival mafias, power struggles, and secrets that threaten to tear them apart. Despite their initial hostility, a smoldering passion ignites between Rosaleen and Marco, their fiery attraction intensifying with every stolen moment they share.

Dark Devotion
When duty and desire collide, love may be the only thing that can save them. Isabella DeLuca is a woman who knows her place in the ruthless world of crime and loyalty. 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. But when her family's empire faces ruin, Isabella is given a choice: sacrifice her freedom in an arranged marriage to save them, or risk everything for the forbidden. 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. Dark Devotion is a passionate, heart-pounding tale of forbidden romance, family loyalty, and two powerful souls who must decide: stay in the shadows, or blaze a new path together.Complete
