Nerina Salvatori

A Why Choose Mafia Romance

They wanted a son.
What they got was me.

I was five when I fell from a tree and didn't cry.
Turns out I was born with a rare condition-one that makes me immune to pain.
My father, Don Salvatori, saw it as a sign from God.
So he trained me like a weapon.
Tortured me to prove I couldn't break.
Raised me to take over his empire-no softness, no tears, no room for love.

Now I run this world like a ghost in red lipstick.
Untouchable. Unshaken. Unforgiving.

But there are five men who test that control.

Lorenzo, my second-in-command. The boy I grew up with. The man I claimed first-out of possessiveness, not love... right?
Saintino, my enemy on paper, my obsession after dark. Our families would kill us both if they knew.
Killian, the assassin with ice in his veins. He doesn't flinch when I bleed-he worships it.
Mason, the broken hacker. Quiet, haunted, brilliant-and the only one who sees through the cracks in me.
Ricky, the flirty bodyguard who jokes until someone gets too close... then he turns savage.

I was born without pain.
But they're starting to teach me how it feels to want something I can't control.

Let the world burn-
They're mine.
