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.

20 parts Complete Mature
When duty and desire collide, love may be the only thing that can save them. Isabella DeLuca is a woman who knows her place in the ruthless world of crime and loyalty. As the sharp-minded daughter of one of New York's most feared mafia bosses, she's been groomed for strength and independence, forced to carry her family's legacy while suppressing her own dreams. But when her family's empire faces ruin, Isabella is given a choice: sacrifice her freedom in an arranged marriage to save them, or risk everything for the forbidden. Luca Marino is a force of quiet strength and lethal charisma, an enigmatic leader who prefers peace to violence in a world that respects only power. The Marino family's heir and Isabella's longtime rival, Luca isn't the typical mafia boss-he's thoughtful, fiercely loyal, and painfully aware of the darkness lurking in his past. When he meets Isabella at a lavish gala, sparks fly, and an idea takes root: perhaps an alliance between them could protect both their families...if they can resist their dangerous attraction. But in the brutal underworld they inhabit, nothing is ever simple. As rivals close in and family loyalties are tested, Isabella and Luca's partnership turns into something much deeper and more perilous than either anticipated. Caught between love and duty, they'll have to risk it all-facing betrayal, deception, and deadly secrets-to forge a future on their own terms. Dark Devotion is a passionate, heart-pounding tale of forbidden romance, family loyalty, and two powerful souls who must decide: stay in the shadows, or blaze a new path together.
