Sweet Temptation by TheAmaraChronicles

Nico Desantis and Chiara Russo are sworn enemies. When three bullets meant for Nico find their mark, it's Chiara, his fiery rival, who defies everything to save him. The act sparks an unwanted obsession in Nico, a hunger not just for power, but for the woman who cheated death for him. To secure a fragile peace, a ruthless bargain is struck - an arranged marriage. Chiara, bound to the man who once threatened everything she and her family ever worked for, vows to make him regret the day their lives became entangled. But Nico, consumed by a possessive desire, will stop at nothing to claim her heart, even if it means setting their warring empires ablaze. In a world where love and loyalty are luxuries, this marriage of convenience might just become a brutal battle for control or a twisted path to a love as fierce as the city's underbelly.

Deviant Prince [Romano Brotherhood, #2] by mysamar

𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else explains his creepily minimalistic apartment décor, strange antisocial behavior, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the bloody body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption. Capo of the increasingly powerful Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies perfect control and restraint. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity of his is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance with mature content and dark themes. Read at your own discretion.
