Darkest Obsession (Sin Series #1)

Love isn't always gentle. Sometimes, it's cruel. Sometimes, it's obsessive. And sometimes, it's dark enough to ruin you.

Mia Romano was born into silence, and the world ensured her suffering for it.

As the mute daughter of the Chicago Mafia's consigliere, she was treated like a defect, a flaw to be erased. With no voice, she felt invisible at least in the ways that mattered. She was mocked, mishandled, and used. In her own home, she existed only when her father needed something to break. And even then, he didn't hesitate. Not once.

By twelve, she understood the weight of fear like a second skin. She learned how to survive by shrinking, how to disappear without moving. But monsters have a way of sniffing out the quietest prey.

Remo Vittorio was the worst kind of monster.

As the Capo of Las Vegas, his name was spoken only in whispers, if at all. He didn't rule with fear; he was fear itself. He built an empire on blood and silence, a storm that came without warning, an executioner who didn't flinch. Men twice his size bowed to him. Entire families vanished under his orders. His mercy was a myth.

He felt no guilt. He didn't believe in love.

But the first time he saw her, fragile and wide-eyed, a porcelain doll surrounded by wolves, something inside him cracked. Not softened. Not healed.

She was terrified of him, and that only made it worse.

Because Remo Vittorio didn't know how to love gently. He only knew how to keep. And once something was in his grasp, he never let go.

An angel was given into the hands of the devil himself.
