Romance Mafia | Romance Dark

From USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire comes another dark and delicious fractured fairy tale.

He's the prince of La Cosa Nostra. She's the witch who steals his heart.

Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn't good enough for her parents, and she isn't good enough for the gangster uncle who took her in after they died. But she's cunning. Beautiful. Dutiful to her uncle's demands. And she doesn't have time for a moral compass, anyway. When her runaway cousin returns to their coastal southern town, she brings a man with her…and Venesa soon realizes he's the only one who's ever seen her for her.

There's just one problem: she can never have him.

Enzo "Loverboy" Marino is a wealthy businessman by day and prince of the underworld by night. Underboss to a notorious mafia syndicate, he answers to no one except his father, the strongest don in the northeast. When he's tasked with marriage, Enzo doesn't think twice.

Until he meets his fiancée's cousin.

Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want. When plans unravel and temptation sings its siren song, they'll both have to choose what's more important: duty to their families or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.
