Cosette Lennon is an aspiring fashion designer in college. The hot, witty, party girl finally had everything planned out after a rough childhood, until her only living family member required external care. Now, she has some life changing decisions to make if she wants to keep her grandmother alive. And what will she learn about herself through this choice?

Kallias Salvatore, the bruting, arrogant yet charming prick, is the upcoming heir of the Salvatore family, one of the big five Italian mafia branches. But just as he takes his place as Don, it seems the other families are ready to attack and test his resilience and power, so he needs to get his shit together if he wants to stay alive. That means no mistakes, no miscalculations, and no weaknesses. 

So what happens when the bubbly, bright doll Cosette takes a job from Kallias? The catch... Cosette has no idea that her new boss is the Don of the Italian mafia. Apart they are reckless, but together they are ruinous. Will they build each other up, or create utter destruction?

"Dance for me," He uttered, taking a swig of his Old Fashioned.
I rolled my eyes, scoffing, right before a sharp yelp exits my throat at the sudden dagger implanted into the wall directly beside my head. Then he was there, his hand firmly holding my throat and his form towering over me. 
"Darling, if you roll your eyes at me one more time, I'll give you a reason to make them roll."

Daniela O'Brien. Dani is the girl you would say has absolutely no luck going for her at all. Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.

Me. Isabella Morello. My life wasn't always rainbows and a field of flowers on a sunny day. But, I thought I meant more to my family than this. Who do I have to marry? The net heir of the Italian Mafia. I thought I would find love on my own. I thought I would marry the love of my life. I thought a lot of things by my life isn't a book and this isn't a fairytale. I have to abide by my parents' arrangement; even if it means I lose my heart to the Devil himself. He's arrogant, cruel, heartless, but under his cold exterior there has to be a soul inside, right?

I could hear the heavy pounds of my heart in my ear as I glared at the self absorbed asshole of the century. Luca Viteillo. "Why. did. you. kill. him?" I gritted out glaring at him. There was no emotion on his face that gave away what he was feeling. His eyes held me. I couldn't look away. "You're mine Cucciolo. Mine" His voice dropped like ice. A wave of emotion passed through his eyes. The very first one I have ever seen and it was scary. Possession. It dripped like acid from his eyes. I liked it and I hated it. I'm not an object! I walked towards him and leaned forward. My words dropped like venom "I am not yours to own. Never will be!" "Say that again and let me show you who you belong to" His eyes daring me to challenge him. "This body is mine to own and to destroy" He whispered softly in my ear grasping my thighs tightly as his hand inched upwards. If he can fuck anybody so can I. Without him realizing it. I grasped him tightly were the sun doesn't shine. A grunt escaped his lips making me smirk in victory. "Then this is also mine and mine alone. The next time you fuck someone else I will cut it off" I whispered staring into his eyes. We were bad for each other but also complimented each other well. He is dangerous but I want him.

"You got too comfortable with me, doll but I didn't show you what Ace can really do." He mumbled. He broke the eye contact we were having and leaned closer to my neck. My heart beat was racing his and each breath he took sent electricity all over my body. I bit my tongue, scared of what my brain could make me say. "And I don't think you want to know," he whispered so close to my ear sending shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath, trying to collect my thoughts. He moved back to stare into my eyes, wanting to see his effect on me but I didn't give it to him. I smirked, pushed my chin down and looked up at him.

(BOOK 1 OF MAFIA LOVE SERIES) [COMPLETED & EDITING] * "Arie," he whispered, his smile dropping as he closed the distance between us. "I'm sor..." My right hand met his left cheek brutally, stopping all that he had to say. "How dare you?" I hissed, landing another smack on the same spot. "How could you do this to me?" I raised my hand up again to place another one, but he caught my wrist before I could do so. "Plan your next move very carefully," he spoke in a low, belligerent tone tightening his grip on my wrist, daring me to slap him again. Pain jolted from the area, forcing tears to sting at the corner of my eyes. "Or what?" I scowled at him. "You don't want to find out." He took a step closer, staring into my eyes. "And don't tempt me!" * Today was the day it all started. Everything began to fall apart. It twisted me, threw me against the wall, and ripped my sanity and innocence to shreds. I never thought I'd go through it, but there I was in the middle of it all. Arie Noelle is a wise, strong-willed girl with a good heart, but a misfortunate incident leading up to others tears her apart. What happens when she finds herself on the radar of Leo Bonferroni, a ruthless mafia leader hiding behind the mask of a sexy tycoon, who is not only intrigued but also smitten by her? However, they begin to change each other, molding into something else. She does things she never dreamt of doing. He places the world at her feet, but will she accept it or kick it away in fear?
