Defying the Mafia Prince

An Enemies to Lovers Dark Academia Mafia Romance

By: Sadie Rune

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Rafael Moretti is born to rule—crowned heir of a mafia dynasty, trained to break minds with magic and bodies with fists. At the Academy, he’s judge, executioner, and sin wrapped in muscle and cold command. No one dares defy him.

Until Claire Williams.

She’s a scholarship nobody with rare shadow magic and a mouth that won’t stop tempting fate—or him. She was supposed to kneel like everyone else.
Instead, she made him bleed for it.

Now he wants to own her. Break her. Brand her.
But Claire is all sharp edges and venomous heat, and every failed attempt to bend her only feeds his obsession.
He can’t control her. Can’t touch her.
But when the Academy turns on her, he’s the only one brutal enough to keep her breathing.

She’s everything he shouldn’t want.
He’s everything she was raised to hate.
But some enemies set the world on fire just by looking at each other.

And when they finally burn, there will be no survivors.
