In a gripping tale of love and loyalty, Shayleen Marie Santos and her sister, Lola Mary Santos Ivanov, find their lives forever altered after being kidnapped from their home in Portugal and raised within the Italian Mafia. At seventeen, Shay's fate shifts when she encounters Dimitri Corsanto, the enigmatic and feared leader of the American Mafia. Though he embodies the quintessential villain-a ruthless playboy and murderer-Shay's strength sets her apart from the typical mafia princess; she is the daughter of the Portuguese Mafia's royal lineage and fiercely defends her loved ones.

As their worlds collide, Shay's perspective on love transforms from a potential weakness to a desperate escape from their brutal reality. The question looms: will Dimitri's affection for her change him for the better, or will love ultimately lead to their destruction? Dive into their tumultuous journey to uncover the answers.

His Addiction ✓ by venusorionv

This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one. ~~~~~~~~ One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with. She lived away from everyone she once knew. She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena. Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet. She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety. She thought that her relationship was left behind. Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness. Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet. After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't. But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her. His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do? And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back. Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake. ~~~~~~~~~ Trigger warnings: includes sexual content, mature language, mature/sensitive themes, scenes with weapons, violence and murder.
