A touch her and die mafia romance.
I’m trapped with the one man I can’t have—and his billions can’t buy my obedience.
Dante Moretti is my father’s top enforcer, my oldest brother’s best friend, and completely off limits.
Naturally, he’s the only man I want.
He’s avoided me for five years.
Then I’m attacked after a gala and Dante hides me in his villa on Lake Como. He makes every decision for me, like my brothers.
Except my brothers don’t look at me like that.
He catches me swimming at midnight, and five years of silence break in one kiss. Then he stops and I want to scream.
Somewhere between the fights and the kisses, I fall for him. Hard.
Then I find my mother’s letter in his desk. Before she died, Dante promised to protect me. Now his devotion looks like a debt he owes a dead woman.
Even worse, ruthless killers want the secret she left me.
Will I find true love with this man? Or will I die before I have the chance to find out?
Some vows are meant to be broken.
Kaia St. James writes steamy mafia romance featuring dangerous men, strong women, and the kind of love that breaks every rule.
Marrying an Italian man from New York introduced her to a world of larger-than-life personalities, fierce family loyalties, passionate arguments, and traditions that run deep. That firsthand connection to Italian-American culture helped inspire her fascination with the powerful families, complicated loyalties, and forbidden relationships at the heart of mafia romance.
Her De Luca Empire series brings that fascination to life with possessive alpha heroes, smart and sassy heroines, explosive chemistry, and love stories where the stakes are always personal—and sometimes deadly.
For Kaia, the best romance is never safe, never simple, and always worth the risk.
