Crown of Bruises: I Was Promised to the Mafia King But I Promised to Destroy Him

Sienna Rivera was never supposed to wear white. She was sent to infiltrate, not to love. The rival cartel made her their weapon, her orders simple get close to Alessio De Luca, the Mafia King of New York, and bring him down from within. But the closer she gets, the harder it becomes to see him as the monster she was told to destroy. Beneath the sharp suits and the scars, Alessio is a man built from loyalty, loss, and something she can’t name.

Their arranged marriage becomes its own kind of war each secret a blade, each touch a surrender neither can take back. Between deceit and desire, Sienna is trapped between two prisons: one of fear, the other of longing.

When the empire starts to burn, she has to decide what survives her mission or her heart.

In a world where love cuts deeper than any bullet, who will be left standing?

Her descent into danger is just one heartbeat in the world of Twisted Obsessions, where every story dares to ask how far love can fall before it becomes something darker and far more irresistible.

In "Twisted Obsessions," love isn’t soft it’s sharp, raw, and impossible to tame. This dark romance series dives beneath the surface of civility to expose the brutal edge where desire and danger meet. Across twelve standalone stories, you’ll find mafia kings who kill for loyalty, stalkers who mistake devotion for salvation, captives who refuse to bow, and lovers bound by secrets that could destroy them both.

From smoky backrooms to locked chambers, each story cuts through illusion and safety alike. These aren’t fairytales. They’re confessions written in blood and temptation, where control is currency and trust is the rarest sin. The deeper you go, the harder it is to look away.

In a world where power demands sacrifice and darkness seduces the light who will survive, and who will surrender?
