Introducing a new, steamy Italian mafia romance must-read for fans of Sophie Lark, Ana Huang and Sadie Kincaid!
I am Isabella Valentino, the reluctant princess of the Kings’ mafia dynasty. My life, a gilded cage, is meticulously controlled by the shadowy figures of my family's empire. Craving a taste of freedom, I jump at the chance to spend a summer in Rome, only to find my dreams tethered even tighter by Raffaele Ferrara, my infuriatingly strict new bodyguard.
Raffaele is all rules and restraint, and I hate the way he smothers my freedom. But, beneath our clashes, an undeniable attraction simmers—dangerous, forbidden, irresistible. As Rome's charm weaves its way through our lives, our fiery resistance turns into desire, revealing startling secrets along the way.
Raffaele's hidden past isn't just mysterious; it's a tangled web of deceit that could destroy both our futures. In a world where loyalty is everything and betrayal is met with ruthless retribution, I face the ultimate decision.
Is the chance for love worth risking everything, even if it means trusting the man who could be my ruin?
One click now to devour this steamy, enemies-to-lovers, age-gap, bodyguard mafia romance.
