#1
Wedlocked
2023
Marry the Don, Ethan Agostino…or be killed.
Sabrina
That was the choice given to me after I was caught snooping at Ethan’s family home under the guise of one of his party guests. I might have been dumb enough to think I could glean information from him to take back to my family—his mobster rivals—but I’m not completely brain-dead. I’ll marry the sadistic bastard and hope I’ll live to regret my decision.
Ethan
I can’t believe I’m marrying a woman who is a direct threat to my criminal kingdom. Not only is her family my rivals, they became my bitter enemy when they murdered my older brother. But then our rivalry goes way back. Little wonder my father wants her dead. Except there is something about her that thaws my frozen heart. I’ll keep her as my wife for as long as my fascination holds me in its grip, then I’ll discard her. And I will…eventually. Because if I don’t and my feelings for her grow, someone else will use her against me and kill her anyway.

#2
Avenged
2023
My innocence for his sick retribution.
Isabella
That’s what Salvatore Costa, mafia underboss and now my kidnapper, demands from me. I tell him to go to hell. I hate his guts, and yet, my body betrays me and my mind won’t stop thinking dirty thoughts about him. It doesn’t mean I won’t try to escape…after I kill him.
Salvatore
I need to avenge my sister’s forced marriage to my enemy, Ethan Agostino. Turns out his sister, Isabella, is the perfect sacrifice. She will submit to me and become a slave to my every dark desire. I just have to ensure my heart never rules my head. Because in my world, love equates to weakness, and nothing will stop me from becoming the next Costa Don.

#3
Enforced
2024
One sadistic madman substituted by another.
Chantilly
That’s what happened when I escaped from the don of the O’Malley mafia only to be captured by Valentino Barone, deadly enforcer of the Agostino mobster family. I didn’t think I could hate anyone more than the don who damaged me, until Valentino takes away my freedom yet again and awakens my darkest desires, ones I never knew existed. Escape seems futile. But I did it once I can do it again—or die trying.
Valentino
I was sent to find and kill Chantilly Alcott, fugitive lover of the don of a rival mafia who is desperate to find her. Ending her life and sending pieces of her body to the O’Malley family isn’t something that should bother me—it never has before—so why my reluctance to do my job? I will do it, eventually. For now, I hold her captive and tell myself I’ll break her spirit instead of her body. So why is she slowly breaking me, instead?

#5
Reformed
2025
One mafia madman. One plain-Jane Introvert.
Alessandro
I’m not known for my long-term relationships, in fact, some might say I have commitment issues. Not that I care. I do what I want, when I want. I live my life by my own rules. Then I see sweet, homey little Jane. She reminds me of a buttercup, so fresh and innocent. So different from the women I normally go for.
Perhaps that is why I have to have her. Not that she’ll ever reform my bad boy ways.
Jane
That’s my real name. I’m a true wallflower, invisible to people. Then my biggest male fantasy-come-to-life steps into my vintage shop and I wish more than ever I was sexy and confident. When he asks me out on a date, I’m so dumfounded I can’t say no. Not that I ever expected one date to lead to another. What I should have expected is my growing feelings for him…until I find out he’s a mobster. I have to leave, but he’s not about to let me go.
He wants the plain Jane, but I don’t belong in his world. Fine. He can have me, once I’ve transformed myself.
Watch out world…watch out Alessandro.
