Sofia Romanno never expected her wedding to start a war-one that would tear her world apart from the inside out.
Raised to believe her father was just a powerful businessman, Sofia has no idea that he runs Romanno Enterprise-one of New Yorks deadliest mafia empires. And she has no idea her new husband, James Barnes, is the enemy.
Cold, ruthless, and driven by revenge, James never planned to fall for Sofia. She was just a pawn in a larger game. But every moment with her chips away at the walls he's built.
When James is offered a chance to destroy her family once and for all, he takes it. Pretending to love her was part of the plan. But falling in love? That wasn't supposed to happen.
Now the truth is coming to light- and so are the lies that built their love.
Can their hearts survive the war their families started, or will everything come crashing down?

Deviant Prince [Romano Brotherhood, #2]
𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her new neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his antisocial behavior, creepily minimalistic apartment, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Not to mention the bloody body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run -- riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble -- is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption. Capo of the Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies cold precision and perfect control. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance. WARNING: this story gets very dark. You must check the CW in the intro. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series | COMPLETED ✔ ]Concluida
