In the dark alleys of 1920s Brooklyn, Dante Cirillo enters a realm defined by loyalty and brutality, where betrayal leads to death and family reigns supreme. As the youngest child of a prominent consigliere in New York's youngest Mafia family, Dante is expected to adhere to the family's code- prioritizing silence and loyalty above all. However, Dante holds a perilous secret that could ruin him: he is a gay man in an environment where this truth is lethal.
Haunted by memories of his first love and a deep-seated fear of his family, Dante treads a perilous path. With every job he undertakes and every deal he strikes, he must conceal his genuine self, integrating into a ruthless underworld where distrust can be deadly.
Caught between his allegiance to the Mafia and his intense desire for freedom, Dante faces a choice: stay hidden or gamble everything for a life he never truly owned. "Velvet Noose" is an expansive historical novel exploring themes of identity, love, and the enduring strength of the human spirit amid the turbulent years of the 20th century.

Ruthless Desires
Nyla Rossi is cold-blooded, calculating, and the daughter of one of the most feared mafia bosses on the East Coast. Dante Vega is reckless, ruthless, and the heir to a rival syndicate that's been at war with the Winters family for years. They've exchanged bullets, threats, and blood-but never words. Until now. When a new, faceless enemy starts picking off their people and taunting them with cryptic messages, Nyla and Dante are forced into an uneasy alliance to protect what's theirs. Every move they make draws them deeper into a twisted game, and as the lines between loyalty and betrayal blur, so does the line between hate and desire. Forced to share secrets, safehouses, and eventually... a bed, Nyla and Dante must figure out if love can bloom where blood was spilled-or if they'll destroy each other before the enemy gets the chance. Sworn enemies. Reluctant partners. Dangerous lovers. ________________________________________________ It's my first book, so I'm still writing, editing, and developing the characters as I go.
