The first book in a brand\-new series from the author of Mafia Mistress and the Kings of Italy series. In the quiet of a small New York town, secrets run deeper than blood. Valentina I never thought I’d fall for a man like Luca. Powerful. Dangerous. But there’s something about him I can’t resist. The closer I get to him, the more questions I have. I want to trust him, but deep down, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something—and I’m not sure I’ll survive it. Luca I’ve spent my life building a vast empire, my hands coated with blood and sweat. And I’ll do anything to keep my family safe. Including abducting a young woman and forcing her back to Italy, a debt repaid. But the closer I get to Valentina, the more I lose control. She’s strong and independent, yet innocent in ways that set my blood on fire. She doesn’t know my story, and I’m not sure I can keep it that way for much longer... or if I even want to. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her—even if it means risking everything.

Maggie I’ve made a terrible mistake. I just needed a small break from running the family winery with my brother, a few days of fun for myself. So I went on a weekend trip and slept with a gorgeous stranger. Happens all the time, no big deal. Except now I learn this stranger is a mob boss. And worse, this mob boss has won my family's winery from my brother in a poker game. This can’t be happening. I won’t allow it. Vito D’Agostino may be smart and powerful and super hot, but he’s no match for me. Vito When I met Maggie Fiorentino I thought she was cute. A woman up for anything, no strings attached. We didn’t even exchange more than our first names during our one and only night together. I certainly never planned to see her again. But fate has thrown me into her path once more, our futures destined to be entwined. I want her winery. And I want her. One thing to know about me? I always get what I want.

The underworld is about to get a whole lot darker... Massimo D'Agostino thought he was out, creating a life outside of the D'Agostino criminal empire. But for HER? He'll do whatever is necessary to keep her safe—even if it means burning the entire world down. Empire of Obsession is coming March 10, 2026. Massimo D’Agostino left the mafia to bury his sins, trading violence for the discipline of a chef’s kitchen. He knows what he is—a monster forged in misery and pain—and he intends to keep that monster caged forever. Until the night he opens the trunk of a car and finds Lucia Sorrentino bloody, bruised… and breathtaking. The daughter of a powerful don, Lucia is being bartered into a marriage she doesn’t want, a future she can’t escape. Massimo should walk away. Instead, her shy smiles and tempting innocence unlock something around his heart, and he becomes her shield. Her reluctant savior. When he helps her go on the run, their careful plans shatter. Caught between three powerful families, they’re forced into a marriage neither of them chose—yet neither can deny. And when Lucia’s unhinged former fiancé comes looking for revenge, Massimo must descend back into the violent world he abandoned. Obsessed to protect what is his, the monster inside him will rise again. And this time . . . he won’t run.
