Brutal Obsession

Valentina:

The Caruso family is legendary in Sicily. They’re powerful, untouchable, and rumored to have their hands in everything from imports to politics.

I won’t mention the things better left unspoken.

Someone perpetually late and as styleless as she is poor should be an unlikely match for the Don of the Cosa Nostra.

Not only do I get a second glance, I’m also tossed headfirst into a scandal so salacious it’s front-page news.

Since I refuse to rehash my mother’s mistakes, I try to ignore the tension hot enough to burn, but obsession is a brutal game, and Giovanni Caruso never loses.

Giovanni:

Attachments are dangerous.
They make you hesitant.
They make you weak.

And yet, when a fresh face in our great country steps in danger’s path, I respond without considering how my gallantry will favor my family or myself.

For thirty-four years, I discredited my father’s claim that he knew my mother was “it” after only seeing her once.

The instant Valentina Raimondi peered up at me, I understood.

My fixation with the curvaceous beauty is immediate and borderline psychotic, and although obsession is a dangerous thing, I can’t suspend our thrilling game of chase.

Valentina is mine, and I’ll destroy anyone who tries to convince her otherwise… including the woman I’m contracted to marry.

Brutal Obsession is a standalone age-gap mafia romance with a curvy heroine, and the man utterly obsessed with her.
