ABOUT THE BOOK : Release Date September 29, 2025

Have you ever wanted someone so intensely it felt like fire under your skin?
Yeah. Me neither. Not until Gabriel Santos.

He walked into the wreckage of my life like he’d always belonged there—calm, controlled, and devastatingly beautiful.

I was a storm. He was stillness. And when I shattered right in front of him, he didn’t flinch.

He looked at me like I was a masterpiece. Like I already belonged to him.

That was all it took. One spark. One glance. One moment I couldn’t stop reliving.

I should’ve run. I should’ve left him behind. But I didn’t.

I couldn’t. Instead, I kidnapped the heir to the Santos cartel.

And now? Now, the real chaos begins.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 29, 2025

Marriage arrangements were nothing new in our world. Mine was sealed before I even took my first breath—an unbreakable pact forged to ensure peace between two powerful families.

I, Penelope DiMauro, was to be wed to the ruthless heir to the Omertà criminal empire, Enzo Marchetti, on Christmas Day.

We uttered our vows “Till death do us part…” and just like that, I became his. His wife. His possession.

My husband was beautiful, his rough hands and filthy mouth commanding my body. He stole my firsts with seduction and deceit, drawing me into his world until resistance felt like a lie.

Our days full of banter and resentment turned into blissful nights. Soon, it became painfully clear there was a razor-thin line between love and hate.

And we were about to cross it.

As secrets unraveled, one question remained: would my husband be my forever or would I be his end?

REVIEW: ENZO is the third instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult LEGACY OF HEATHENS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series, a spin off, set in the author’s interconnected Mafia worlds -Thorns of Omerta, Belles and Mobsters, Kingpins of the Syndicate. This is thirty-three year old,heir to the Omerta Criminal Empire Enzo Marchetti, and twenty-one year old, medical student Penelope DiMauro’s story line. ENZO can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalment or interconnected series is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from three first person perspectives (Enzo, Penelope,Luca) ENZO follows the arrange marriage and union between our story line couple. Before she was born, Penelope DiMauro was promised to the eldest son of the Omerta crime family, and the day would come when our heroine would have to face her future but Penelope is unaware of the man with whom she is about to marry, a man who has kept close tabs aka stalked our heroine from close up and afar. Secrets would be revealed, as Penelope and Enzo’s relationship slowly turned into something more but Penelope’s sister is fighting for her life, and Enzo is determined to fine help, even if it killed him in the process.

The world building follows several paths including a look at the past, a history of secrets that expose the reality of the Omerta Crime Family, and the early days of the current Marchetti empire. From mental illness to murder, betrayal and heart break, the family line struggles with too many skeletons in their closet, but skeletons that reveal a deadly past. As Penelope’s sister Amara struggles to survive, Enzo will uncover the dark and sordid betrayal, one that will place him in the direct line of fire.

The relationship between Penelope and Enzo begins acrimoniously. Penelope wants nothing to do with an arrange marriage or our story line hero but her defiance sets into motion the revelation of secrets that push our heroine to edge of her limits. Enzo finds himself falling for a woman that despises the ground upon which he walks but a woman who will quickly realize Enzo is willing to protect our heroine with his life. The $ex scenes are limited but erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including Penelope’s sister Amara, their parents Margaret and Luca Di Mauro( Belles and Mobsters: Luca ), and Enzo’s brother Amadeo, and their parents Isla and Enrico Marchetti (Thorns of Death).

ENZO is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance,obsession and madness, family and relationships, forgiveness and acceptance. The character driven premise is dark,tragic and edgy; the romance is emotional and dramatic; the characters are desperate, determined and lively.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 11, 2025

I was the dutiful daughter. Or at least that was what it looked like from the outside.

Deep inside, I was suffocating. I longed for something I didn’t know how or where to find. But I kept my façade firmly in place while I searched for answers.

Until one New Orleans night changed it all.

Nikola Nikolaev—the heir to the Crescent City’s ruthless criminal empire—caught me in a club that was off-limits. And just like that, my carefully constructed world began to crumble.

We never saw it coming. The invisible force between us, the one that had a power far beyond anything we understood, pulling us closer, demanding what we couldn’t give.

But there was more to Nikola than the unhinged, reckless man everyone saw.

I fell. Hard.
He didn’t.

I should’ve walked away. Instead, I was determined to peel back his layers and prove to him he’d met his match.

I, Skye Leone, would rise to become his queen.

REVIEW: NIKOLA is the second instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult LEGACY OF HEATHENS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series, a spin off, set in the author’s interconnected Mafia worlds -Thorns of Omerta, Belles and Mobsters, Kingpins of the Syndicate. This is twenty-four year old Nikola Nikolaev, and twenty-year old Skye Leone’s story line. NIKOLA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalment or interconnected series is revealed where necessary. Nikola is the son of Isabella and Vasili Nikolaev (The Den of Sin) Skye is the daughter of Phoenix Romero, and Dante Leone (Thorns of Silence /Thorns of Omerta 4), and adoptive daughter of Sasha and Branka Nikolaev (Belles and Monsters 16).

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from five first person perspectives (Nikola, Skye, Dante, Phoenix, Vasili) NIKOLA follows the forbidden romance between is twenty-four year old Nikola Nikolaev, and twenty-year old Skye Leone. Skye, for all intents and purposes, is the adopted cousin of our story line hero but due to a convoluted history of dysfunctional family dynamics and the ultimate betrayal, Skye has been returned to her birth parents (Dante and Phoenix) yet still considers herself a ‘daughter of the heart’ of Sasha and Branka Nikolaev. Regardless of parental heritage, Skye has always lusted after and loved the man she once considered a cousin but the heart wants something it cannot have, and our couple are determined to prove they are worthy of their own happily ever after. Standing in their way, three sets of parents, and someone with a years long vendetta that is determined to destroy them all.

The world building follows in the wake of betrayal and revenge. The past is refusing to let go, and both the Nikolaev and Leone families have been targeted but each by a different predator.

The relationship between Nikola and Skye is one of unrequited love. Skye has been in love with Nikola for as long as she can remember but Nikola refuses to cross the line between friendship and love knowing his life will be forfeit if the truth were revealed. Due to inherit the mantel of his father’s power and control, Nikola struggles with the darkness that comes from within. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and determined secondary and supporting characters from the author’s numerous interconnected Mafia story lines and series. We are reintroduced to Syke’s 2 sets of parents: Dantes and Phoenix, Sasha and Branka, as well as Nikola’s parents Vasili and Isabella. The requisite evil has many faces.

NIKOLA is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is detailed, dramatic and edgy; the characters are desperate and charismatic; the romance is fated and flawed.
