Two nights. No names. No expectations. A lifetime of consequences.
Graduating from law school means finally stepping into my destined role in the Hawke empire.
But before I head home to NOLA to settle into the family’s multi-billion-dollar business, I need one night to celebrate.
Ideally with the redhead who won’t stop eye-fucking me from across the bar.
I never intend it to turn into an entire weekend in bed with her.
Yet, somehow, that’s exactly where we end up.
There are only two rules—no names and no expectations.
Easy to agree to at the time.
Impossible to abide by once I realize how incredible she is.
One night isn’t enough.
Not even two are.
A lifetime won’t be.
We fell into the unexpected, and it will change everything.

My responsibility should be easy. Get the information we need or turn her over to the boss and wipe her from my mind.
But the beautiful hellcat has surprises of her own…
When she finds out what I’ve done, it alters the course of everything and sets us on a deadly game to maintain power over the criminal underground.
When our families learn the truth and the last hand has been played, it’s up to me to ensure I win the prize or lose her forever in the fight of my life.

Our senior year in college was supposed to go out with a bang, and it did, just not the way we’d expected.
Liliana Brambilla
If I could freeze time, I would.
The university my Mafia sisters and I attend is the one place I can get away and feel some sense of freedom—and escape from my father’s control and soon-to-be-announced, unwanted arranged marriage. If I could run away from my future, I would, and I’m not the only one.
Sofia La Rosa
I’ve loved Enzo Vitale all my life.
At one point, he was mine, and I was his. It was an allusion we were blissfully wrapped in. That bubble shattered even before I graduated from high school. The secrets scattered through our past were now like forgotten landmines ready to explode. He still considers me his, and in my heart, I will always be. For his sake, I need to keep him at arm’s length. Otherwise, I run the risk of losing him for good.
Emiliana Vitale
He’s the only man whose touch I crave.
I fell in love with Stefano Rossi before my life imploded, and I was taken from those I love. But our love is forbidden by his ruthless father and discouraged by my family. What they don’t understand is we’re both broken, and only together are we whole.
Marissa Rossi
My life is not my own, but neither are my siblings.
For the moment, I’m free, despite the noose around my neck in the form of an arranged marriage that will happen in a few weeks. That’ll be then, not right now. I still have time, even if it’s limited, to paint to my heart’s content and party all night long. I know the clock is ticking, so I’ll take every advantage of this small window—my last few weeks as a college student rooming with my best girlfriends—and live my life to the fullest.
We were born Mafia princesses, but we might as well be prisoners. As our college years draw to a close, we each have a fate we’re trying to escape. The question is, who will conquer the destiny laid before us or merely survive—and who will not?

The last four suspenseful romance books in the Mafia Elite series are full of strong men and women who navigate arranged marriages, forbidden relationships, enemies-to-lovers, and second chances that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Savage Secrets: Chicago Mafia boss Marco La Rosa thought the only woman he’d ever loved had died years ago. But when her brother approaches with an arranged marriage contract, he learns she’s very much alive and in danger.
On-the-run Mafia princess Elena Caruso cut all family ties to survive. When the enemy close in, her only chance for survival is the man who once held her heart.
Ruthless Heir: The crown had always been Luc Savino’s. He just didn’t know it until a Chicago Mafia boss persuades him to assume his destiny. But he won’t go without Summer—a one-night stand, and probable spy for the former CEO of his latest hostile takeover.
Summer isn’t telling him everything, but Luc finds her impossible to resist. As their trust in one another grows, Summer’s enemies close in. Despite all the lies between them, it’s the truth that could tear them apart.
Collateral Damage:When Mafia surgeon, Trey La Rosa, met the one woman who could bring him to his knees, grief from his girlfriend’s recent death loomed between them. He forced himself to walk away. Months later, she’s been kidnapped—and he’ll do anything to save her.
Rivals:No woman has ever breached the walls of Nico La Rosa’s heart, and he’s content with who he is—a brutal, dark, and broken underboss to the Chicago Mafia. That is until a New York Mafia princess seeks him out. She’s a fantasy with midnight hair, violet eyes, and a body that promises hours of sin—and she needs his aid, but helping her will cost him.

When she barters information that could take down her family’s operation, I’m too intrigued to turn her away. And as we get to know one another, my defenses fracture, tempting me to give her my trust.
But no one in the Mafia is innocent.
My only hope is that intertwining our futures to protect her from her family will not be at the price of mine.
