***

He´s the prince of La Cosa Nostra. She´s the witch who steals his heart.

Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn´t good enough for her parents, and she isn´t good enough for the gangster uncle who took her in after they died. But she´s cunning. Beautiful. Dutiful to her uncle´s demands. And she doesn´t have time for a moral compass, anyway. When her runaway cousin returns to their coastal southern town, she brings a man with her...and Venesa soon realises he´s the only one who´s ever seen her for her.

There´s just one problem: she can never have him.

Enzo Loverboy Marino is a wealthy businessman by day and prince of the underworld by night. Underboss to a notorious mafia syndicate, he answers to no one except his father: the strongest don in the northeast. When he´s tasked with marriage, Enzo doesn´t think twice.

Until he meets his fiancée´s cousin.

Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want. When plans unravel and temptation sings its siren song, they´ll both have to choose what´s more important: duty to their families or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.
