Andrea Ferraro was seventeen when he ran—from a binding contract, from a powerful mafia family, and from the alpha who was supposed to claim him. Ten years later, Andrea is no longer a frightened omega. He’s a lethal enforcer, a ghost in the criminal underworld, and a weapon forged in blood. Breaking into Bellantoni territory should have been just another job. Until he’s caught by Nathan Bellantoni. Nathan never forgot the omega who vanished on the eve of their bond. Now Andrea is back—injured, furious, and going into heat in Nathan’s basement. The contract between their families still stands, and Nathan has every legal right to claim him. But Andrea isn’t the boy he left behind, and Nathan isn’t the monster Andrea remembers. Enemies close in, betrayals surface, and the line between captor and protector blurs as the two are forced into an uneasy alliance. Andrea plans to escape. Nathan plans to keep him safe. Neither plans to fall. But when desire ignites and loyalty is tested, the most dangerous thing of all might be choosing each other. A dark MM omegaverse mafia romance featuring a deadly omega assassin, a powerful alpha determined to be better than his bloodline, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension, possessive devotion, slow-burn intimacy, found trust, and a hard-won HEA. Includes heat dynamics, power struggles, moral grayness, and a bond that must be chosen—not enforced. less

One auction. One lie. One omega who was never meant to survive the truth. Tommy Bianco didn’t go to the O’Brien auction to buy a man. He went to observe, to count enemies, to leave unseen. But when a quiet red-haired beta with sharp green eyes ends up on the block—and in the crosshairs of a sadistic rival—Tommy does the one reckless thing he swore he wouldn’t. He bids. Denver Sullivan is very good at pretending. Registered as a beta. Trained to look broken... moreOne auction. One lie. One omega who was never meant to survive the truth. Tommy Bianco didn’t go to the O’Brien auction to buy a man. He went to observe, to count enemies, to leave unseen. But when a quiet red-haired beta with sharp green eyes ends up on the block—and in the crosshairs of a sadistic rival—Tommy does the one reckless thing he swore he wouldn’t. He bids. Denver Sullivan is very good at pretending. Registered as a beta. Trained to look broken. Sold often enough to know how to survive. What no one is supposed to know is that he’s an unregistered omega, a weapon shaped by coercion and debt, sent to infiltrate the Valentini family and secure a bond at any cost. Tommy Bianco is just another mark. Until he isn’t. Tommy offers safety instead of ownership. Choice instead of control. A door that locks from the inside—and patience that feels far more dangerous than force. As attraction simmers and trust fractures, Denver is forced to choose between the mission that’s keeping his sister alive and the man who’s slowly teaching him what it means to be seen. Enemies circle. Lies tighten. And when violence finally comes for them both, the bond Denver was supposed to fake may be the only thing that can save them. But a bond freely chosen is the most dangerous choice of all. A dark MM omegaverse mafia romance featuring a lethal undercover omega, a patient and ruthless beta capo, auction rescue, forced proximity, hidden identity, slow-burn tension, touch-starved intimacy, moral grayness, protective devotion, betrayal, and a bond that must be chosen—not claimed. Includes power imbalance, psychological trauma, violence, and a hard-won HEA. less

Enzo Vitale should already be dead. Bond-loss is eating him alive, his body unraveling after the murder of his mate. Revenge is the only thing keeping him standing—until it leads him straight into the arms of the man whose family shattered his life. Maxim Bellantoni was supposed to be untouchable. A former priest turned mafia power broker, he believes in restraint, penance, and choice. Harboring a dying Valentini omega—one who came hunting his people—was never part of the plan.

But enemies are circling, loyalties are breaking, and Enzo’s time is running out. With his own brother closing in and the only cure for bond-loss demanding the ultimate sacrifice, Maxim must choose between duty and devotion—while Enzo decides whether survival is worth binding himself to the man standing between him and vengeance. Because a bond chosen freely can be an act of mercy…. or the deadliest betrayal of all.
