NADIA

I've spent my life in a cage designed by my father—at his mercy and whim. I'm penniless, powerless, and frequently reminded that I'm nothing more than property to barter amongst his powerful friends. Until the eve of my twentieth birthday, when I learn my future holds more misery than my past.

It's the day he's waited for—the day he sells my hand to the highest bidder. I have no choice and no voice. But that's not how my story ends. They say a wolf will chew off its foot to escape a trap, and that's precisely what I do when I flee into the arms of my father's greatest enemy.

Dante Serpico is a man of many secrets. On the surface, he's a wealthy real estate tycoon, respected by politicians and the city's elite. Behind the mask, he's the most dangerous man in New York. I have nothing to offer but myself, but something about the look in his eyes and the tight clench of his chiseled jaw tells me he won't say no.

I've made a deal with the devil and leapt from the frying pan into the fire. He makes me the queen of his world, makes me fall in love, then reveals the biggest secret of all. How can I forgive his betrayal? How can I live without him?

Contains mature themes.

…what?

i’m perplexed. this book was by no means complicated. the characters are simple, the dialogue is simple, the conflict is simple. but like… huh? the twist was not surprising but i wasn’t really disappointed (not sure if that’s the right word?) bc i mentally checked out half way through the book. the narrators did a decent job with what they had to work with. overall, slightly entertaining but i could’ve gone without reading

double love

wow what a suprise.. mafia love is the best romance. loved the story line... wish it was longer.... but loved it anyways! narration was perfect!!!!

Kept me hooked

Did not know what to expect and havent read anything about the book beforehand.
Loved it. What a great Mafia Romance.
Some cool twists waiting for you .... x

Plot Twist

The plot twist almost made me DNF. I’m kind of bummed. Like, why?! And OF COURSE the FMC gives in. Girl. NUT UP. However, the epilogue gets spicy, and it’s so good! So at least it ended on a good note.
