Empire of Temptation: An Italian Dark Mafia Romance

The first book in a new dark mafia series from the author of Mafia Mistress and the Kings of Italy series.

Luca

I’ve spent my life building a vast empire, my hands coated with blood and sweat. And I’ll do anything to keep my family safe.

Including abducting a young woman and forcing her back to Italy, a debt repaid.

But the closer I get to Valentina, the more I lose control. She’s strong and independent, yet innocent in ways that set my blood on fire. She doesn’t know my story, and I’m not sure I can keep it that way for much longer... or if I even want to.

Valentina

I never thought I’d fall for a man like Luca Benetti. Powerful. Dangerous.

But there’s something about him I can’t resist. The closer I get to him, the more questions I have.

I want to trust him, but deep down, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something—and I’m not sure I’ll survive it.
