When a college girl gets involved with a man in pursuit of becoming the biggest gang leader in America, her life and her heart get uprooted in ways she'd never imagined. 


They say Italia has it easy. Some say she is sheltered. Her father is the captain of the LAPD, her mother is a prosecutor, and her brother is a soldier. Not to mention, she is on her way to becoming a criminal lawyer. But that was far from the truth. Her perfect little life was filled with secrets, lies, and hurt and she masks it well with a pretty smile. Imagine her delusion when she meets a tall, dark, and handsome man, that she should stay clear of. Mysterious in baffling ways but beautiful enough to melt her heart, thinking he was any different. 

But that's what love is isn't it, blind? Or is he truly just a genuine man, stuck with the dangerous life he created, but sees love as a way out?

Warning: THIS BOOK IS FOR MATURE READERS ONLY (18+). CONTAINS MATURE SCENES, VIOLENCE, AND LOTS OF CURSING. (A sequel to The Infamous Rafael Valiente, Giovanni Santorini's story) EXCERPT: "I need that tape, Gio. I know you could have it anytime you want, kiddo. I fucking know you're holding the ace!" His expectant voice reaches my ears, barking at me like I was his pawn. It didn't sit well with me. Anger bubbles up in my system, my vision morphs darkly, and I envisioned blood oozing out of his chest, head blows up with brains splattered in tiny pieces. I'm not fucking use her. She is my precious prize possession, and nobody fucking ordered me to do such thing, especially not my Bambolina. My eyes twitched as I simply cocked my head at Vito, my loyal underboss, sharing him a clear message. He surreptitiously nods his head back at me, signaling he gets the message. ............. Giovanni Santorini is defined to all Italian's business enemies as the dirty ruthless megalomaniac businessman. For the women, Giovanni Santorini is the living Zeus of Italian.

Then a challenge begun when he met the stormy-eyed fiery spirited Athena Giudici - who brought storms in his peaceful rather cold heart - in a very ungracious situation became a challenge which he wanted to win. Will this challenge be a deserving goal to win? And is he capable of bringing her in his dark dangerous world he's living in? .......... A STEAMY MAFIA ROMANCE, SPRINKLED WITH HUMOR, AND DASH OF FAMILY SECRETS. A refeshing mafia romance story.

In the city that never sleeps, where power is won with blood and money, Catherine is the trophy wife of an ambitious financial consultant, living a life of superficial luxury. When her husband, driven by a hunger for power, tries to ingratiate himself with the Italian mafia, their fragile balance is shattered. It is in this chaos that Catherine meets Matteo Caruso, the feared leader of the city's most powerful clan. Matteo is a man of few words, preferring to assert his will through decisive actions and ruthless gestures. Drawn to Catherine's irresistible beauty and magnetic allure, he decides that she must be his, at any cost. Their forbidden attraction turns into a dangerous game, where desire and fear intertwine in a whirlwind of passion and violence. But as Catherine's world crumbles around her, buried secrets emerge, threatening everything she has ever known. --- Prologue. Catherine leaned trembling against the bathroom counter, her breath uneven as she tried to calm the frantic beating of her heart. It had been a terrible idea. She shouldn't have accepted the invitation. She should have convinced her husband to stay home. But now, with Matteo Caruso's burning gaze still etched on her skin, she knew she had gone too far. The door opened behind her, and the enveloping scent of his expensive perfume overwhelmed her. Everything about him was now her sweet curse. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was. "Don't resist, Catherine." Matteo whispered, his voice low, hoarse, and heavy with a dark promise. "We are meant to be together."

After Rexx discovers her acquaintance with Gabriel, he demands that she spies on him to get information about his family and business. Reluctantly she wants to say no, but she has no choice. If she fights it, she'll get hurt-or worse. As Poppy becomes closer to Gabriel, she doesn't expect to fall for him. And little does he know, she's been lying to him this whole time.

A crime boss struggles to carry out a vendetta after he falls for the spirited daughter of his enemy. ***** Twenty-two years after his parents were killed, Federico Di Maggio returns to New York with a simple plan: take down the man who betrayed his family. What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems. Hellbent on sabotaging the arrangement, Elenora defies Federico in ways no one else would ever dare. Too bad Federico's never been one to back down from a challenge. Especially one that calls to him in the most feral and passionate of ways. With unforeseen betrayals and new rivals, perhaps the real challenge Federico must face is deciding whether to fight his feelings for Elenora or give into them. But even if he chooses to end his long-standing vendetta against her father for mounting sparks between them, there's no guarantee she'll risk her heart on him. *Content Advisory: This story contains coarse language, scenes with violence and mature sexual content.
