The Don's Dark Desire
“Alessandro Salvatore is the king of New York's underworld-ruthless, untouchable, and bound by the laws of the mafia. But when investigative journalist Isabella Rossi storms into his life, she threatens more than just his secrets. She challenges his control. She ignites a passion he never expected. Isabella knows Alessandro is dangerous, but she can't resist the pull of the enigma that surrounds him. What starts as a pursuit for the truth quickly turns into an intoxicating affair. But some secrets are meant to stay buried, and when Isabella uncovers a betrayal deep within Alessandro's empire, she finds herself caught in a war she never saw coming. As enemies close in and the line between love and destruction blurs, Alessandro must make the ultimate sacrifice to protect the woman he can't live without. But in a world where loyalty is bought in blood, will their love be enough to survive?”
