I was promised to his brother. But it’s Bane Black who owns me. They said he’d protect me through my long engagement. Watch me. Guard me. Keep me on a leash. Instead, he stalks. He breaks. He consumes … And I enjoy letting him. Bane is heir to an Italian mob family that enforces loyalty with fear and power with blood. But he’s not just their mafia prince. He’s their executioner. Merciless. Meticulous. Bred to destroy… Yet, before all of that, he was my neighbor and the boy I secretly fell for. But when dark times loom and my father can’t pay the debt he owed their family, he offers what was my hand in marriage…to the wrong brother. I thought Bane might save me. Instead, he believes I betrayed him. And rather than halting the engagement, he takes control of it, punishing me with rough touches, ruthless words, and a rage I crave more than his indifference. I know I should fear his destruction. But as my wedding nears, I realize I’d choose it over his brother’s gentle hand in marriage a thousand times over. Bane Black is surely toxic. But I may be the pretty pink poison destined to be his undoing. Pretty Pink Poison is a dark mafia romance set in a world of syndicates and secrets, where love was never meant to be soft. It was always going to hurt. This book is darker than other Shain Rose books. Please read content warnings prior to reading.
