Between Cross and Crescent
A Dark Romance Novel
In the underbelly of Sicily's blood-soaked legacy, power is inherited and love is a war.
Aaron De Luca-the perfect heir. Cold, silent, untouchable.
Rion De Luca-the unpredictable prince. Wild, dangerous, fiercely loyal.
And R.D.-the outsider. The omega. The soul neither brother expected to need... or love.
When fate leads R. D., a spiritually devout but emotionally fractured entrepreneur, into the mafia world of the De Lucas, an unspoken bond begins to form. What starts as fascination ignites into obsession. But in a world ruled by violence, heritage, and pride, tenderness is weakness-and desire is deadly.
As the three are pulled into a secretive triad of love, lust, and loyalty, enemies gather in the shadows. Former lovers return. Family ghosts whisper. And destiny demands sacrifices.
Set against the smoldering backdrop of esoteric rituals, ancient goddesses, luxury clubs, and blood-slicked alleyways, Between Cross and Crescent is not just a love story-
It's a war for the right to love.
