Devoted: A Dark Mafia Romance (Beneath the Mask)

About this book

Luca Russo rises from a foster childhood to become the ruthless king of the New York mafia, a man defined by his iron-fisted rule and the mask he wears to hide his scars. His life takes a volatile turn when he kidnaps Rosa Falcone, the daughter of his sworn enemy. What begins as a strategic move to undermine his rival quickly spirals into an obsessive, forbidden connection that threatens both his empire and his life. Rosa is a survivor, a woman who has spent her life trapped behind the expectations of her status and the cruelty of those who claim to own her. Though Luca once let her go, sending her back into the arms of an abuser, the spark between them never died. Now, with an arranged marriage looming to secure the future of the mafia, Luca realizes he cannot stand by and watch her belong to another. Caught in a dangerous game of enemies-to-lovers, Luca and Rosa are forced to choose between the safety of their respective worlds and a future together. As tensions reach a breaking point, Luca must decide if he is willing to ignite an all-out war to claim the woman who has stolen his heart.
