Elena Abelli is the perfect mafia principessa—on the surface. Known as “Sweet Abelli” for her charm and docile nature, she hides a darker truth: guilt that stains her soul like crimson paint. When her sister’s arranged marriage brings Nicolas Russo into her life, Elena finds herself drawn to the one man she should avoid.
Nicolas, a ruthless mafia boss with a reputation as black as his suits, is arrogant, infuriating, and dangerously magnetic. Elena doesn’t like him—or so she tells herself. But his presence ignites a fire she can’t extinguish, tempting her toward forbidden desires.
As their undeniable chemistry spirals into uncharted territory, Elena must resist the pull of the darkness Nicolas embodies. Because everyone knows you don’t fall for a Made Man… unless you’re ready to risk everything.
