Black suits. Bloody hands. Dangerous desires.
In the shadows of London, the De Luca name carries power.
Behind wealth, luxury and respectable businesses exits a world governed by loyalty, family and blood-a world where trust must be earned, betrayal carries consequences, and the men who appear most civilised can be the most dangerous of all.
The Devil in a Black Suit is a dark mafia romance series following the De Luca family and those drawn into their world, where each story explores desires, danger, power and slow-burning love amongst morally grey men who would do anything to protect what belongs to them.
Love does not come easily in their world.
Neither does forgiveness.
Because sometimes the devil doesn't have horns.
Sometimes, he wears a black suit.
