    Gentlemen don’t look at engaged women the way Ras Sorrentino looks at me. Ras Sorrentino is the underboss of the most powerful clan in the Camorra. He’s also chaos and danger poured into a sleek Italian suit. The first time I met him, I thought he was there to kill me. The second time, I wanted to kill him. The third was in Ibiza, where I glared at him across the church as my sister married his boss. It’s not his sharp tongue or his taunting smirks that I hate the most. It’s his gaze. How it narrows when I flinch. How it hardens when he notices the bruises on my face. How he stares at my engagement ring like he wants to melt it off my finger. I know it’s a bad idea to let him push my buttons. After all, the fate of my family rests on my upcoming marriage and my fiancé is only interested in me because of my pristine reputation. A reputation Ras seems to have no qualms with stomping all over. It’s a good thing him and I live on the opposite sides of the world. Until he tells me, he’s coming back to New York with me. And he’s staying. ~ Tropes: dark mafia romance, enemies to lovers, forbidden romance.

    Nina Encantadora, cautivadora y seductora, y un asesino de sangre fría. De todos modos, me casé con el Pakhan de la Bratva rusa. Tuve que hacerlo. Era parte del trato. Ahora, estoy fingiendo felicidad conyugal, mientras tiemblo de miedo, Y no puedo esperar a estar fuera de las garras de este hombre despiadado. Roman Consigo todo lo que deseo. Y quiero a esta pequeña manipuladora perfectamente imperfecta. La forma en que puede engañar a cualquiera haciéndole creer que está locamente enamorada de mí, solo me hace desearla todavía más. Ella aún no lo sabe, pero no voy a dejarla ir. El trato está cancelado. *Cicatrices Marcadas es una novela completa con varias escenas ardientes, sin infidelidad y un final feliz garantizado. Este es el primer libro de la serie de mafia de Perfecta Imperfección, y en comparación con los otros libros de la serie, no es muy oscuro. Cicatrices Marcadas es ante todo una historia de amor que se centra en la relación entre Nina y Roman, aunque hay algunas escenas que muestran violencia, es considerablemente más ligera que las secuelas.

    From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix Original series Sex/Life) comes a dark mafia romance steeped in Irish folklore. I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm—shy fairies who liked to eat tea biscuits, cruel witches who liked to eat children, a moody lake spirit with a taste for expensive gifts. As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen. Kellen wasn’t evil. He was kind, and beautiful, and special, and hurting. He was my friend. And with every summer I spent stolen away with him in those enchanted woods, he grew to become so much more. But when I return to Glenshire as an adult, grieving and engaged to someone else, all those legends quickly morph into nightmares. My grandfather had been right about everything, especially the boy. If only I had listened. WARNING: If you are a sensitive reader or find certain topics to be emotionally triggering, please exercise self-care and select a different book. Devil of Dublin is intended for mature audiences who enjoy dark subject matter, tortured anti-heroes, explicit adult content, graphic violence, heart-pounding suspense, fairy-tale worthy love, and gorgeous Irish scenery. If that sounds like you, then welcome to Glenshire!

He shows no emotions. Sometimes I question his humanity. He hasn’t spoken to me in two years. Not a single word. But we share a secret, he and I. And if it ever comes out, I have no doubt in my mind… He won’t have a problem killing me too. Ronan. I’ve slain for her. I’ll do it again. When it comes to Sasha, there isn’t a line I won’t cross. I watch her. She doesn’t know it. She thinks I hate her. Sometimes, I think I might too. But I’m always there, lurking in the shadows. Craving her. Trying to keep the beast within at bay. I’ll keep her safe. I’ll slaughter anyone who tries to hurt her. The only thing I can’t do… is protect her from myself.
