Two men love her. But only one truly knows her.
College Junior Giada Conti wants nothing more than to pursue a normal life fueled by her own choices. Unfortunately, she doesn’t realize her father’s business isn’t completely lawful, or how that fact will completely dictate her future.
Pre-law student Adrian Patras is certain Giada is the perfect woman for him, until he meets her family and grasps the extent of his girlfriend’s naivete.
As Adrian finds himself unwillingly pulled into the family business, Giada grows frustrated with his insinuations about her father. Meanwhile, Giada’s ex, the notorious Luca Marino, pops back into her life with his own criminal agenda that includes winning her back.
Mafiosa Princess is the captivating first book in the steamy mafia romance series that you won’t want to put down.
Read an Excerpt
Luca stopped walking and swiveled to face me, placing his hands on my waist. “Oh Giada, it’s killing me to see you sad.” He used his thumbs to wipe the tears from under my eyes and then he left his hands on my cheeks.
He was staring into my eyes as though searching for something. Suddenly his lips were on mine.
With his hands holding me in place, I couldn’t have easily moved if I wanted to, but regardless, I’m not sure I would have. Kissing Luca left nothing to be desired. It was perfect in every way, even when unexpected and completely inappropriate. His lips were soft and moist, his tongue exerted just the right amount of pressure, and he tasted like a refreshing mint.
When he ended the kiss, I was breathless and disoriented. I needed to say something, but he beat me to it.
“That’s better,” he said.
“What is?”
“Everything. But especially that you stopped crying.”
“You kissed me so I’d stop crying?”
Luca smiled. “I kissed you because I’ve wanted to kiss you for weeks now, but an added perk is that it distracted you from your sorrows.”
I had no idea what to say to that. Luca sounded sincere, but then again, he was a sweet talker. I never doubted his ability to say what people needed to hear to bend to his will.
Luca reached for my hand and continued walking along the beach as though we were two familiar lovers just out for a casual stroll.
“I was crying about Adrian,” I said, hoping to remind Luca that he wasn’t the one I was pining for.
“I know. And I have to say I agree with Gabriella. The best way for you to get over one man is to get under another.”
I stopped in my tracks, mortified. “Oh my God. You heard that?”
He nodded.
“We were not talking about you.”
“You most certainly were.”
I swiveled around to head back to our chairs. Not that I had any hope of personal space there, either, but it beat this odd walk.
“You kissed me back,” he said, jogging to catch up.
I considered denying that, but I was pretty sure I’d actually moaned at one point. “So? You’re a good kisser. That’s beside the point. You don’t think it’s a little strange that you’re trying to seduce me when I’m still hung up on someone else?”
Now Luca laughed. “If I were trying to seduce you, you’d know.”
