ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 21, 203
Five years ago, Dante Carelli made a deal with the devil…
It cost him everything—his brother’s freedom, his family’s trust, and the only woman he ever loved, Kat
Harrell.
To save him from himself, and his family’s enemies, Dante was hidden away in Italy, regretting his every
decision, and praying for a chance to make amends.
Now he’s back, and ready to atone for every heart he broke, especially Kat’s.
There’s no one Dante won’t take on to free his family from the clutches of the Mafia. But it’s a battle he can’t fight alone. He needs a hacker, someone with skills sharper than his. Someone with grace under fire and ample cunning.
He needs Kat. But how can he fight the enemy and still keep her safe?
Kat Harrell doesn’t need Dante’s protection. The expert hacker can take care of herself, and the last thing she wants is to be back in Dante’s tangled web. Besides, Dante is the past.
There’s nothing left for Kat there.
So why does the air thicken every time he’s around her? And how can he still make her laugh and blush like he did when they were kids?
But the people they love have wrapped themselves in a knot of danger, and neither Dante or Kat can unravel it alone. They’ll have to work together to save those they care about–whether they like it or not. Because when you play games with the devil, there are no rules.
Only consequences.

REVIEW: DANTE is the third instalment in Eden Butler’s contemporary adult CARELLI FAMILY SAGA erotic, Mafia, romance series. This is Dante Carelli, and Kat Harrell’s story line. DANTE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Dante and Kat) DANTE follows the best friends to enemies to lovers relationship between Dante Carelli, and Kat Harrell. Dante and Kat were childhood best friends. Kat is an IT genius, and Dante learned his skills from the woman he loved but five years earlier, life and betrayal sent Dante into hiding, leaving a heart broken and angry Kat behind. Fast forward to present day, Dante and Kat have returned to the scene of the crime, working for the Carelli Family in a war with the Irish mob but all does not go according to plan when another perceived betrayal finds Dante and Kat on the run knowing when the truth is revealed life and family will never be the same. What ensues is the second chance relationship between Dante and Kat, and the fall-out as the war with the Irish destroys family, friendships,relationships and trust.
The relationship between Dante and Kat is a childhood best friend to enemies to lovers in which Kat struggles to trust the man she once loved.Betrayal, deceit, secrets and lies pulled Dante and Kat apart, a common enemy threatens to destroy them again. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters include Dimitri ‘Smoke’ Carelli and Maggie Ramirez, Dario Carelli and Ava Anderson, Luca DeRosa, and Toni Carelli; their cousin Johnny, family associate and guard Dino.
DANTE is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, forgiveness and love. The fast paced premise intriguing and engaging; the romance is provocative ; the characters are determined and dynamic. DANTE ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
