In the bustling heart of London, Dante Sanseverino is a man torn between loyalty and his conscience. With the demands of The Outfit's London division squarely placed on his shoulders, he tries to keep complications in his personal life at a minimal- zero if we're being specific. Which is why he can't stand the complexity on two legs that's moved in across the hall. Lou is a complication to be sure, if it's not the fact that she's always smiling for no apparent reason,  it's surely the fact that he can't help but wonder what happens behind her closed front door. With each day his curiosity about her grows, whittling away at his well-rehearsed self-control, forcing him out of the confines of his staunch routines and further into her life; introducing new and great dangers. 

Despite their stark differences, a series of unexpected events thrust them together, forcing Dante to confront his demons while Lou navigates her own hidden struggles. While she radiates sunshine, her past is shrouded in shadows, and as their lives entwine, both must confront what it truly means to love amidst chaos.

As they battle their personal conflicts, the tension between  Dante and  Lou sizzles, leading to moments of vulnerability that could either bind them together or tear them apart. Can love flourish in the unlikeliest of circumstances, or will the weight of their worlds keep them apart?

In this captivating grumpy x sunshine romance, Dante and Lou discover that even in the darkest corners, hope can ignite a flame.

𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his strange antisocial behavior, creepily minimalistic apartment, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the bloodied 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 Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies cold precision and perfect control. 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 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.
