Cara Rodríguez had always wanted to be a writer; hence why she worked in a bookstore. She wanted to write her own romance novel and become known, but she could not find the motivation to write one since her own love story was tragic. So going to Italy when she wins a vacation for a month in the country doesn't seem like a bad idea to get some inspiration. Everything was going well until she turned down the wrong street and witnessed a cold-blooded murder by the Italian mafia's leader. What a turn of events.

Dante Romano was your ordinary man: CEO and secretly a mafia don. He never had any interest in love, for he worked in The Italian mafia, it just wasn't an option. But when his life took a turn, and Cara stumbled in it, he knew that was bound to change. But how could such a beautiful woman see in him, the ruthless monster she just met, and hated already?

Fighting the growing attraction towards each other, and keeping secrets, will they be able to ignore it, or give in, with possible love along the way?

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE) by StationaryObsession

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched." (The full story can be found on the following link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NPSKL6W)

His At First Sight by goldennng

''Sweetheart you'd do well to listen to me when I say you're mine. Do you understand?'' He said, his eyes flashing with anger. Well I was just as enraged. Who the fuck did he think he was? ''Excuse me mister I don't know who the hell you think you are but you cannot boss me around like that and secondly I'm not an object you can't walk around like you own me." I ranted and turned around to walk back to our table when strong arms wrapped around me preventing me from doing so. His arms were on my waist trapping me in a death grip as I felt his lips near my ear. ''Wrong answer." he whispered huskily. I shivered. ___________________________________________ Corina Rodriguez had a normal life or so she thought until she made eye contact with the ruthless mafia boss Antonio Martinez.

Sofia Garcia, also known as the assassin Raven, has always had a messy life then it gets messier when she goes to a dance and accidentally- (on purpose) kisses the most dangerous mafia boss only to end up in a spiral of their marriage and soon discovers he's her next target. She's stubborn, childish, and impulsive. But she's also intelligent, calculating, and skilled. Alessandro is a cold mafia leader. He doesn't take childish behavior. He doesn't get himself involved with women or the media. Then he meets Sofia who is a childish woman stuck in a 22-year-old body. He's never been interested in a woman before her and no matter how much he tries to deny it or make comments to avoid it, he's fallen for her. He's just as stubborn, Impatient, and cold. But he's also observant, hardworking, and logical. While Alessandro's men are trying their hardest to find the ruthless assassin, Raven, she's seated comfortably on his living room couch binge-watching movies, and he's sitting under the same roof denying his obvious feelings for his wife. He's looking for her at the same time she's supposed to kill him? ♤♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♤♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♤ Ales is observing me intensely, not minding our close proximity. His eyes scan me as if he's looking straight into my soul. I'm very aware of our position and torn between the desire to kiss him passionately and the instinct to push him away. His face comes so close that our noses brush, and his hot, minty breath fans my face. He leans in, his hands resting gently on the side of my hips. His eyes are hooded but captivating getting me lost in the warm brown. "I'm going to go fucking crazy living with you," He whispers huskily in my ear. He nibbles a bit on my earlobe causing butterflies to erupt.

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.

Daughter of a Devil by Merelaarninkhoff

This is a mafia romance, It's a slow burn! And friends to lovers. Here's a sneak peek of the first chapter: Once alone a time there was a happily married couple, it was forced up on both of them. The leader of the Italian mafia with no heart and a spy with a heart of gold. I have to say it was hard on the beginning but over time I, Julia Greco and Romano Amato learned to love one another.

He didn't like to show me his darker sides but I don't care, I love him with al my heart and that only makes it harder to leave without an experimentation. I'm sitting on our bed in our bedroom, and you must think; why on earth would you leave a life of love and happiness? I wasn't planning to, you have to believe me on that one. But I don't want a child livening in a world of guns and business. Yep, you hurt that right. I found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant, but I can't tell Romano. I don't know how he would react and if he even wants a child! We never talked about it. Maybe he'll just think it's a waste of time and that it would be distracting and slow him down. And besides, I don't want my child in this life. 'But he would be such a good fader.' NO! I can't think like that! This is the best thing I can do for him and our child. 'But he will hate you for it.' NO I leave tonight that's final! My thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door. "Miss Julia dinner's ready" a maid said "I'm coming" here it goes. Look I know the description is bad but give it a chance :) If you read it I hoe you enjoy!!!

Warning: THIS BOOK IS FOR MATURE READERS ONLY (18+). CONTAINS MATURE SCENES, VIOLENCE, AND LOTS OF CURSING. (A sequel to The Infamous Rafael Valiente, Giovanni Santorini's story) EXCERPT: "I need that tape, Gio. I know you could have it anytime you want, kiddo. I fucking know you're holding the ace!" His expectant voice reaches my ears, barking at me like I was his pawn. It didn't sit well with me. Anger bubbles up in my system, my vision morphs darkly, and I envisioned blood oozing out of his chest, head blows up with brains splattered in tiny pieces. I'm not fucking use her. She is my precious prize possession, and nobody fucking ordered me to do such thing, especially not my Bambolina. My eyes twitched as I simply cocked my head at Vito, my loyal underboss, sharing him a clear message. He surreptitiously nods his head back at me, signaling he gets the message. ............. Giovanni Santorini is defined to all Italian's business enemies as the dirty ruthless megalomaniac businessman. For the women, Giovanni Santorini is the living Zeus of Italian.

Then a challenge begun when he met the stormy-eyed fiery spirited Athena Giudici - who brought storms in his peaceful rather cold heart - in a very ungracious situation became a challenge which he wanted to win. Will this challenge be a deserving goal to win? And is he capable of bringing her in his dark dangerous world he's living in? .......... A STEAMY MAFIA ROMANCE, SPRINKLED WITH HUMOR, AND DASH OF FAMILY SECRETS. A refeshing mafia romance story.
