The Beneveti Series by Vy Le

Though she wasn't born into it, Katarina Camello found herself at the center of New York's finest syndicates. She was the Underworld's favorite definition of a mob young, beautiful, and obedient. At least that was what she wanted everyone to see. While she was young and beautiful, there was not a single bone in her body that was obedient. She had a witty mouth and spontaneous soul that her husband was not shy to keep in check, as he phrased it... moreThough she wasn't born into it, Katarina Camello found herself at the center of New York's finest syndicates.

Maybe one day, she would believe it too. Nobody had figured her out. Nobody until him. Luciano Beneveti was reputed to be the most feared person in America, if one was being modest. At only twenty-nine years old, he was a ruthless ruler and an even deadlier Made Man. So naturally, when his father tragically passed from a deal gone wrong, he stepped up to the throne and claimed his position as the new Beneveti Boss. It was safe to say, this man was definitely not to be messed with. Nobody had dared to cross him. Nobody until her. less

Rumored to be the Cosa Nostra’s deadliest assassin, Alina Moretti has never failed a hit. She’s smart, she’s strong, and she’s definitely stubborn— the three traits that have yet to lead her astray. Working under her adoptive uncle Carlo, don of the Moretti Family, Alina feels on top of the world. Give her a name and the person is guaranteed to go missing before the next sunrise. Or that is, until she accepts a hit on the infamous consigliere of a rivaling family. No matter her wits, no matter her tactics, the man is as smooth as a snake and manages to slip out from between her grasp every time. Clean, sharp, and unfeeling Dante Beneveti is arguably the Beneveti Family’s greatest asset. He’s the brain behind the operations, the one reliable source of consistency. If one wants to overtake the Benevetis, their consigliere is the point to strike. Though many have tried, all have failed. Since their first meeting in the library when she tried to ambush him, Dante knows Alina is nothing but trouble. Beautiful, devastating trouble. She plans to rid the consigliere as soon as possible. Lucky for her, he can’t seem to stay away. less
