Luciano

Luciano Vitale runs a mafia family and has a reputation for cruelty. He was never meant to fall for Grace, a woman from the world he preyed on, yet he did, and they married. The marriage ended in betrayal and violence.

Grace fled with her best friend and her young son, taking almost nothing with her. She was set on raising the boy far from his father's world.

Three years later, Grace is living in hiding in a quiet Sicilian village. The life she built there falls apart when Luciano's world tracks her down. She is pulled back into the underworld she escaped, and she and Luciano are thrown together again.

The danger that drove her away is still there, and so are the feelings both of them tried to bury. This is a dark mafia romance built on a second-chance dynamic between former spouses who are now enemies.

It is the first book in the Belles & Mobsters series by Eva Winners, which belongs to a larger set of linked series the author calls the Evaverse.
