Eleanor never imagined her simple act of friendship would lead her into a whirlwind of danger and deceit. When her mother's battle with cancer reaches a critical point, Eleanor finds herself accepting a seemingly straightforward arrangement with her only friend, Giuseppe DeLuca. In exchange for financial support for her mother's treatment, Eleanor agrees to travel halfway around the world to marry Giuseppe's enigmatic brother, Francesco.

However, just moments before the wedding, Eleanor discovers that her groom is not the average millionaire she had been led to believe. Francesco DeLuca is, in fact, the formidable leader of the Sicilian Mafia. What was supposed to be a two-week charade-during which Francesco would help his friend smuggle guns into the country-takes a dramatic turn when Francesco falls for Eleanor the moment he lays eyes on her.

As Eleanor struggles to navigate the treacherous waters of her new life, Francesco grapples with keeping his criminal empire a secret while proving his love and commitment to Eleanor. Their budding romance is tested by the dual threats of betrayal from unexpected quarters and the danger lurking in Francesco's clandestine world.

Caught between love and loyalty, Eleanor and Francesco must confront their darkest fears and deepest desires. With both their lives and hearts on the line, can they find a way to protect their newfound love from the forces that threaten to tear them apart?

The Vipers Temptation | Completed by creativemindxo

After a failed attempt at a relationship, I try to make it on my own. However, I end up with a new neighbor who exudes charm, danger, and sexual energy as if it's a job. To make matters worse, I find myself semi-kidnapped by the same dangerous, foul-mouthed, rude neighbor who turns out to be a part of the Italian Mafia. Now, I'm stuck riding shotgun while being chased by gun-wielding maniacs on our way to someplace "safe." I'm beginning to think this is my new reality. *Trigger Warning* Graphic violence, explicit mature scenes, and non-consensual touching (not from the main love interest).

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. Read with caution please. ⚠️ Completed - 26.05.21
