ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 3, 2025

He stole my heist. Now I have to steal it back—and resist the urge to end him… or kiss him.

Michael Rossi is a smug, insufferable Mafia prince—and the only hacker good enough to snatch my score.

The job was supposed to secure my place in my family.

Instead, I’m left humiliated, sidelined… and burning for revenge.

Then Michael shows up with a devil’s bargain: help him track down the thief who double-crossed us both, or watch us both go down in flames.

I don’t trust him.

I don’t even like him.

But when we’re working side by side, trading barbs and code, the lines between hate and heat blur fast.

One stolen kiss becomes one unforgettable night.

And one dangerous truth could destroy us both: the real traitor is closer than we think—and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep their secrets.

This is the mafia.

There’s no loyalty in love… or is there?

REVIEW: I love trying new authors and this is why! Sinful Attraction is a standalone mafia romance, standard trigger warnings for the genre be known, but otherwise, a fantastic passionate book that readers are sure to enjoy.

Michael the Mafia Prince.

Arya the survivor.

These two are the perfect definition of enemies to lovers. Michael and Arya’s family….well they frankly suck, they treat both Michael and Arya like crap and use them simply for their skills. When Michael swoops in and steals a heist from Arya, one that she desperately needs; she is beyond furious. Too bad karma comes for Michael; before he can transfer the funds into his family’s account and claim a job well done, they are stolen from him. With no other choice, he enlists the help of the only person with the skills to track the money down.

Arya isn’t too pleased when Michael comes knocking on her door asking for her help. He doesn’t understand the importance of the money he took from her, the meaning behind what it would do for her. Nonetheless, she reluctantly agrees to help him. Now the only issues are not killing one another before they get the money back….and keeping their hands off of one another.

I loved this! The family drama, the suspense, the banter between Michael and Arya, both so different, but similar at the same time. As the book progresses you can tell how passionate about life they both are, but also about each other. It takes them by surprise how good they are together, how much chemistry they share. Overall, I am pleased with the story and would recommend it to other readers, I’m curious to see what else comes from this author.
