The name of Seraphina Moretti is known to everyone in the criminal underworld-a testament to a woman's power in a world dominated by men. A name that proves patriarchal foundations are outdated and that women can not only survive but also rule the mafia.

Having fought her way through hell, Seraphina rose from the ashes, commanding her domain with an iron fist while laundering money and supplying luxury cars to the elite. But behind her cold exterior and flawless business facade, the scars of her past remain-haunting reminders of the darkness she endured, darkness she intends to keep buried.

That is, until he appears. The mysterious dark-haired man, bearing scars that mirror her own, stands beside her brother, disrupting the carefully constructed walls Seraphina has built around herself. He knows her past-because his is just as haunting. Bound by a connection forged in shared pain and hidden secrets, they must navigate the treacherous landscape of the mafia together.

In a world where loyalty is fleeting and danger lurks around every corner, Seraphina must confront her demons. Can she allow herself to let someone in, or will the shadows consume them both? As their paths intertwine, they face a choice: unite against the enemies that threaten their lives or risk losing everything they've fought to protect.

Together, they could become unstoppable-or tear each other apart.

Deviant Prince [Romano Brotherhood, #2] by mysamar
61 parts Ongoing Mature
UPDATES EVERY WEEK! Vivienne Lee is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his creepily minimalistic apartment décor, inhumanly antisocial behavior, and that frighteningly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the random bloody body parts that have a habit of 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 whole 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... Until now. 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.
