Beautiful Rebel: Beautiful Sorrows Mafia Romance Series

RIA SMIRNOV
I was born into a legacy dominated by men who saw being female as a weakness, even though I have the brains and the balls to rise straight to the top. All I need was a chance to prove myself to my father, the formidable head of the family.

My opportunity comes when I meet King, the son of my father's greatest rival and one of the world's most powerful and ruthless Italian mob bosses. All I have to do is deliver King to my father and earn the respect and place in his hierarchy that I’ve always craved. King is within my grasp; the only problem is that I don’t want to let him go. As the lines between duty and desire blur, I know that keeping King may be the biggest mistake of my life.

How can I risk so much for a man whose assignment was to kill me? How can I ignore the devastation his family has caused mine just because he rebelled against his father for me? King may not want my blood on his hands, but how can I be sure he won’t remember where his loyalty lies and deliver me to someone who would revel in it?
I’m caught in a dangerous game of loyalty, betrayal, and unexpected passion with my greatest enemy, and I must decide how far I’m willing to go to rewrite the rules of the game I’m not even playing in. Do I follow my heart, or will my ambition lead to my downfall? The only thing I know for sure is that I will carve my own path, and live with the consequences.

KING MEDICI

I have one assignment from my kill the daughter of the head of the Russian mafia in retaliation for my brother. An eye for an eye is how we handle things in our world. Though once I lay my eyes on Ria Smirnov, I decide she's too pretty to kill, at least not until after I've had a little fun with her. From the moment we meet in a dark alley on a tiny Italian island, I fall into the role of protecting Ria, especially after I find out that she's not even a part of our dirty world. My decision not to kill her was because she was innocent, and then because I craved her too much. Then I had to protect her because my father was a monster. With the threat of war on the horizon, I didn't have much time to deny how I felt about Ria, and to decide if she was worth losing everyone I loved.
