The Mafia's desire

Zera McDaniels Adventure

“He was born in blood. She was born in light. Their worlds were never meant to collide--until one dangerous night bound them forever. Adrian Romano is ruthless, feared, untouchable-the heir to the most powerful mafia family in New York. He kills without hesitation, takes without asking, and rules without mercy. Love has no place in his world. Sophia Moreno is everything he should destroy. Innocent, radiant, untainted by the shadows that consume him. She should have walked away the night she saw him pull the trigger. But Adrian doesn't let go of what he desires. Drawn into a dangerous obsession, Sophia becomes the target of enemies who would do anything to break the Romano empire. To keep her safe, Adrian must fight a war that could cost him his crown, his soul... or her life. But in a world built on betrayal and blood, desire can be more dangerous than bullets. And once the mafia claims you, there's no escape.”
