Brutal Intentions

After running wild for too long, Lazzaro Rosetti is forced by his family to marry into the Bianchi family to secure a fragile peace between two rival houses — and to father an heir who cements the bond.

But Laz feels nothing for the wife chosen for him; his attention keeps drifting to her stepdaughter Mia, the family's unprotected black sheep, born of an affair and treated as an outcast ever since. When Laz stops resisting the pull toward Mia, forbidden desire collides with mafia loyalty, family betrayal, and consequences neither of them can undo.

Lilith Vincent opens the Brutal Hearts series with a standalone dark mafia romance built on forbidden attraction, possessive obsession, and an age gap neither character can ignore.
