Silent Devotion
Alessia has never spoken a single word in her life. Stolen as a child by a ruthless gang, she grew up in captivity, taught to believe that pain was a lesson and obedience was survival. Forced to work as a servant, she endured years of mistreatment, never questioning the twisted reality forced upon her. Despite the cruelty, she remains kind, her innocence untainted-but dangerously unaware of the true depths of evil in the world. Until the night she escaped. Lost in the dark streets of Naples, she collided into Matteo De Luca, the cold and merciless head of the most powerful mafia family. Matteo is a man feared by all, a king in the underworld where blood and loyalty rule. He has no patience for weakness. No room for softness in his life. But when he sees the mute, trembling girl looking up at him with wide, trusting eyes, completely unaware of who he is, something inside him snaps. She doesn't fear him. She doesn't know he's a monster. And for the first time in his life, Matteo feels the dangerous urge to protect instead of destruction.Complete

The Last Oath
Alessia Moretti has always known her role: the dutiful daughter of one of Italy's most feared mafia bosses, a porcelain jewel locked away in silk and shadow. Her life has been carefully arranged-glittering parties, whispered alliances, and the unspoken truth that her every choice reflects on the empire her father built from blood and fire. But when fate draws her into the path of Dario Vitale, the son of her father's sworn enemy, the fragile order of her world begins to shatter. Dario is everything she has been warned against-ruthless, magnetic, and bound by a family oath to destroy the Morettis at any cost. Their first meeting is a spark, their second a blaze, and soon Alessia finds herself consumed by a passion that is as forbidden as it is irresistible. Their love is a betrayal written in the language of bullets and blood. To be discovered means certain death, not only for them but for everyone caught between their families' feud. Yet secrecy cannot hold forever, and every stolen glance, every midnight encounter, draws them closer to exposure-and to a war that could burn the city to ash. As loyalty and desire wage war in her heart, Alessia must choose: her family's empire, or the man she was never meant to love. But in a world where betrayal is survival and oaths are carved in blood, no choice comes without sacrifice.

When The Sun Goes Down - A Midnight Mafia Novel
----- In serious need of revision! ----- Wanna-be journalist Kate Santoro would do anything for the scoop. Anything. Including finding her way into an underground club exclusive to only those in the Genovese mafia and the beautiful women they employee. What could be more perfect? She would stick to the shadows, snap a few videos, and write the biggest story New York has ever seen, therein making her a legend! Easy as pie. Until she gets found. A series of blatant lies and lucky breaks later and she is mistaken to be one of the workers underneath. While many might be terrified of this predicament Kate couldn't be more excited. The freedom to roam the area and talk to the members of the infamous brotherhood will leave no rock unturned. All she has to do is keep her cover until the night is over and the workers go home. What a fantastic position she is in! There are just two problems. One being him. Alessio. The Don, the Godfather, the Capo di tutti capi (the boss of bosses) who has taken a keen interest in Kate. Even that is something she could probably handle for one night. Except problem number two. They don't leave. Not at the end of the night, the end of the week, or even the end of the month. Alessio's interest in Kate threatens to expose her, something she would surely die from. He knows she doesn't belong but it's not as though she could have just waltzed in, right? By the time Kate realizes that not even the greatest scoop is worth the price, she is in far too deep to call it quits now. ~~~Praise for When The Sun Goes Down~~~ Natasha427: "It was so captivating that I may or may not have spent the last several hours holed up in my room frantically scrolling down to read more.
