Free Mafia Romance

For three years, Detective Marcus Cole has hunted Alessia Moretti, the ruthless woman who rules the city's criminal underworld. But when a mysterious enemy from Alessia's past emerges, the hunter and the hunted are forced to join forces. As danger closes in, suspicion slowly turns into trust—and trust into something neither of them expected. He was supposed to arrest her. She was supposed to destroy him. Instead, they discovered that sometimes the most dangerous choice is the one that leaves your heart unprotected.

Dante Rossi doesn't feel. He rules the underworld with cold precision, feared by enemies and worshipped by those who serve him. Emotions are weakness. Weakness gets you killed. He learned that lesson at twelve, watching his father bleed out on the kitchen floor. For twenty-five years, he's been untouchable. Until Isabella. She's a waitress at a diner he's never visited, a woman with no connection to his world, no agenda, no fear. She spills coffee on his suit and doesn't apologize. She looks at him like he's just a man, not a king. And for the first time in his life, Dante Rossi feels something he can't control. He should walk away. He should never see her again. Instead, he becomes obsessed. He watches her. He protects her from threats she doesn't even know exist. He infiltrates her life until she can't imagine it without him. But Isabella has secrets too. Secrets that could destroy them both. And when the truth comes out, Dante will have to choose: his empire or the only woman who's ever made him feel human.

Alessia Lombardi was born into blood. Daughter of the most powerful mafia don in New York, she's been sheltered, protected, and treated like a fragile treasure her entire life. But when rival boss Dante Russo captures her during a raid, she discovers the truth: the world outside her gilded cage is far more dangerous—and far more seductive—than she ever imagined. Dante is ruthless, merciless, and utterly obsessed with destroying everything her family built. He should kill her. He should use her as leverage. He should do anything except what he actually does: keep her, claim her, and slowly, impossibly, fall for the woman who was supposed to be his enemy. But Alessia has secrets too. She's not the fragile princess everyone believes her to be. And when the war between their families reaches its breaking point, she'll have to choose: her blood or her heart. Either choice starts a war. One choice could end them both.

She was taken as payment for her father's debt. He's the most dangerous man in the city. She's his prisoner. He's brutally honest in a world full of lies. She hates him. She can't stop seeing him clearly. And that's the most dangerous thing of all.
