Evelyn knew what she needed to do, and that's getting a job and returning home. When she can't find a job, her stepbrother, Dimitri, offers her one. Innocent enough, right? Little does she know; she's thrown headfirst into the mafia world. Her feelings for Dimitri grows as she's forced to live with him, but her boyfriend, Mark, is someone her mother would be proud to see her with. Will her dreams change? Will she change? Excerpt: "Ask me nicely." His sultry voice twists my stomach in the best of ways. "Wha- what do you mean?" I mentally kick myself for allowing his power to rule me. This only builds his ego. He leans forward towards my face, his nose barely touching mine. "What is it that you want, piccola." He whispers. What did I want? Oh! That's right, I wanted to leave. "I would like to leave." I take a step back from him so I can focus.

Fallen for a Mobster by T-misha

Alessandra Benedetti, known for her beauty and carefully guarded innocence, is the daughter of the Vincenzo Crime Family's consigliere. Fondly called "Sessie" for her dutiful nature, she's expected to marry Tiziano, the Don's volatile second son - a match she despises. Her silent rebellion leads her into a fleeting romance with a classmate, but when her father uncovers the affair, he enforces her loyalty with brutal consequences. Shattered by her fling's death, Alessandra attempts to flee her restrictive world, only to find that survival is more dangerous outside her family's control, especially in Chicago, where her last name holds weight. Amid her struggle for freedom, she crosses paths with Renzo Santoro in the most mysterious of ways. She saves him from an assassination attempt, risking everything her family has ever taught her, finding herself drawn to his dark charm. Renzo, equally captivated by the mysterious woman who saved him, senses she's hiding something-but not her true identity. He begins to crave her attention, showing up unannounced, wanting her. While Alessandra, discovering the power of defiance, finds herself entranced by the very man she was raised to fear. When he learns about her true identity, he's torn between rage and the undeniable pull he feels toward her. With love in play, forgiveness becomes easy, and his steps to protect what they share put their affair on a dangerous path. Alessandra is willing to risk it all for a taste of true freedom and the thrill Renzo offers. As they spiral into a forbidden affair, Renzo's fascination with her deepens into obsession. He's unwilling to let her slip back to the very people he's set out to destroy. Their relationship evolves into a conflict of interest that soon gives way to darker meanings and emotions. But in a world where revenge and passion cannot coexist, their desire to make it work ignites a war that consumes them both.
