ABOUT THE BOOK:Release Date December 9, 2025

For years, I’ve been groomed to be my brother’s shadow. To protect my father’s heir, who will one day take over from him as the Kumichō of the Yakuza, I’m forced to dress and act like a man when I’m out in public.

The ruse works, and when I’m grabbed off the street by the Sicilian mafia, I’m in for a world of pain.

Augusto Vitale, a ruthless and unforgiving capo, wants revenge for what the Yakuza did to his younger brother, and I’m the one paying in blood. That’s until Augusto realizes I’m a woman and I’m set free.

I think it’s the last I’ll ever see of him, but then my father comes up with a plan that will ensure I live the rest of my life in hell.

Once again, I find myself at Augusto’s mercy, but this time he has no intention of letting me go.

REVIEW: Craving Revenge is book 6 in The Kings of Mafia series by Michelle Heard.

Yuki Tanaka is a 22 year old Yakuza Princess living in Japan. But she can’t be herself. Ever since her brother Ryo was hidden away when she was eleven, she has been pretending to be him. Not by her choice, her father’s-To protect her brother until he is ready to take over the Yakuza – She pretended to be him. Her father making her take Botox shots to the face to make her look more masculine. She is out at a popular Japan nightclub, Molecule, one night and she sees the most beautiful woman with her new husband.

Yuki can’t help but stare. She has been pretending to be her brother for years and the softness and beauty of this woman is overwhelming. She can’t seem to look away. What that sets off is a myriad of a battle between the Yakuza and Cosa Nostra.
The woman she was staring at is Gianna Vitale – the newly married wife of Riccardo Vitale. The youngest brother of the head of the Cosa Nostra. The capo of the Cosa Nostra – Augusto Vitale.

When Yuki can’t look away, Gianna’s husband Riccardo takes offense and tells Yuki to stop looking at his wife. Yuki’s over zealous body guard oversteps and in the end Riccardo is shot and taken away to the hospital. Augusto wants revenge for what has happened to his brother in Japan. When they find who they believe to be Ryo the beat him within an inch of his life.
That is until they realize that the person pretending to be Ryo is actually his sister Yuki.

Trying to calm the violence and deaths between the Yakuza and the Cosa Nostra – Yuki’s father arranges a marriage with none other than the man that beat her almost to death – Augusto Vitale.

Will Augusto ever be able to get Yuki to forgive him for what he has done. Will Yuki ever feel safe with the man she was arranged to marry? What transpires is a beautiful building of a relationship between Yuki and Augusto.

But once Augusto finds out about the truth of how his new wife was treated up until he married her – he has but one thought.He is Craving Revenge.

This was probably one of my favorite Mafia stories by Michelle Heard. The build up between Augusto and Yuki was wonderful. While Augusto had one thought – to make his wife feel safe and secure after he mistook her for a man and beat her. Yuki is young and vulnerable – and scared – oh so scared of the life she didn’t ask for. Her one wish is to find her brother. She has no concept of living a good life – she has never experienced that. But maybe she will one day. Maybe she will….

Highly recommend – can be read as a stand alone but every single book in this series is worth a read.

Please be mindful of the trigger warnings at the front of the book.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 27, 2025

Enzo
Does she know who I am?
‘No.’
Have I killed for her?
‘Yes.’
Stalker?
‘Absolutely.’

Jenna
I’ve worked the night shift at the local gas station for years, and nothing exciting ever happens. That is, until a tall dark stranger comes in to buy a coffee. I thought he was just passing through town, but then he starts coming in every night.

Whenever our eyes meet, I try to muster the courage to say something to him, but I never can and only end up blushing my butt off. I begin to daydream about the man who has an air of mystery and danger, and it lessens the loneliness I feel. The night I finally manage to say ‘hi’ to him, the gas station is robbed, and my tall dark stranger saves my life before disappearing. A few days later, I’m offered a job as a housekeeper for a wealthy recluse. It pays more money than I’ve ever hoped to make in my lifetime, so I accept. I miss my handsome stranger, though.

That is, until I hear a commotion one night and find him bleeding in the kitchen.It turns out everything is not as it seems, and like a helpless fly, I’m stuck in the web he’s spun around me.

REVIEW: The Devil by Michelle Heard is book five in The Mafia Empire series.

This book dives right in. Enzo Oliveira is a 37 year old assassin and the leader of a criminal organization in Portugal. He is in the United States to deal with an MC Clud who has taken issue with him opening part of his business in their town. He stops in the middle of nowhere for a cup of coffee at a gas station and that is when he meets Jenna Doston.

Jenna is 26 years old and keeps to herself completely. After suffering horrific trauma she has turned in on herself and doesn’t talk anymore. She makes due working at the gas station because its mostly regulars. That is until a definite stranger in town walks in. Jenna hides beneath her bangs and doesn’t eant to make eye contact. But she can’t help it. That’s when Enzo notices her blue and green eyes. He is taken by her appearance and can sense pretty quickly that she is suffering from some kind of trauma.

He didn’t come to town to find a woman. He has no time for that in his life. He came to take care of the MC Club and leave. But he slowly begins to find himself going to that gas station each night and then watching her from a distance making sure she is safe. He can’t help it. He has never felt this way before about anyone let alone a woman. Everything was going good until one evening Enzo arrives at the gas station while a robbery is taking place. He quickly takes care of each man – to protect his Jenna. He has to find away to break thru her walls and let him in.

How will he do it? Will she still like him once she finds out what he is and what he does?

This book started off quickly and didn’t slow down! I wanted nothing more than Jenna to just fall for Enzo but she is dealing with a great deal of her own trauma. Can Enzo convince Jenna how much he cares about her and will Jenna ever let him in?
I highly recommend this entire series. This book can be read as a standalone but why do that! Highly recommend!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 4, 2025

While visiting family in Italy with my mother, I come face-to-face with Leo Toscano. The head of the Italian mafia, and my worst nightmare. Let’s get one thing straight. I didn’t know the mafia was a thing until the ruthless man threatens to wipe out my family unless I marry him. Not having much of a choice, I reluctantly say ‘I do’, and tie myself to the heartless bastard for life.

Turns out he doesn’t want anything to do with me, and I quickly learn the definition of loneliness.

But then secrets begin to come to light, and everything I thought I knew about my life turns out to be a lie. Now the big, bad mafia boss is the one begging. How the tables have turned.

••••••

REVIEW: Heard is book four in the Mafia Empire Series.

Haven Romano is 23 years old and visiting Italy with her mother. A raid on the house where she is visiting her Uncle brings her face to face with Leo Toscano. Leo is 33 years old and the head of the Italian Mafia. One look at Haven and he knows that she must be his. Haven has no idea what she is getting herself into when she agrees to marry Leo to keep her mother safe!

What happens sparks a series of twists and turns. I loved this book so much. The slow burn relationship between Leo and Haven is palpable. Haven is thrown into a world that she has no concept of! She’s young, innocent and still has nightmares that haunt her from her past. But when her nightmares clash with her present situation all hell breaks loose!

Leo Toscano is danger walking and he has trauma from his past! His trauma collides head first into Haven’s nightmares! Will they survive knowing the truth.

Highly recommend this entire series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 30, 2025

I walked out of my home and away from my loving sister to protect her. Either I left with him, the man who’s watched me from the shadows for months, or he would kill Grace.

It’s been nine months of living in pure agony and hell.
Nine months since I last saw Grace.
Nine months of him controlling every aspect of my life.

My mind has shattered, and I’m not sure I’ll ever escape him.

Until I do.
The only problem? Not even minutes after running for my life, I’m captured again by another man. This one is charming with his hot smiles and promises of safety, and he rules over his kingdom like a beloved god.

Is the brutality I see in his eyes just my imagination? Do I dare trust that he won’t hurt me?
I know what he wants.
Me.

I’m just not sure there’s anything left of me to give to him.

••••••

REVIEW:Death by Michelle Heard is book three in the Mafia Empire series. The story I have been waiting for, Santiago Castro. Santiago’s family was massacred and ever since that day he has made it his mission to save children and women from trafficking and abuse. He takes them in and makes sure they are taken care of and healed before returning to their lives.

Thats how he comes to have Ciara in his life. She was held and tortured against her will for 9 months until she escapes!
He helps Ciara return to the woman she once was. But that isnt without pain, loss and suffering! But he isnt going anywhere, she is his! I love the use of the tarot cards in this book and the fortune telling.

This book is a slow burn for those wanting the spice and deliciousness that Michelle Heard is known for! But also because Ciara is healing for the better part of this book!

You can read this book as a standalone alone but no need to – I suggest you ready the whole series!

Definitely worth it!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 10, 2025

As the eldest daughter of Ilias Dimitrou, I’m next in line to become the head of the Greek mafia. I’m getting good at putting on an act while I learn everything I need to know about the organization, but behind closed doors, I’m terrified. If my father’s men catch a whiff of my fear, they’ll rip me apart.

Before I’m able to take over from my father, we’re attacked. I have to depend on my newly formed alliance to come to the rescue while I fight with every ounce of strength in my body to stay alive.

Barely surviving when my entire family is slaughtered, I end up being guarded by Lincoln Knight. For some reason, the damaged sniper refuses to leave my side, and I find myself becoming more and more dependent on him. He follows me like a deadly shadow, and I’m well aware of the fact that he’s the only person standing between me and certain death.

When I take my rightful place as the head of the Greek mafia, can I conquer my fears and become the strong leader I was born to be?

••••••

REVIEW:The High Priestess is book two in the Mafia Empire Series by Mihelle Heard.

Cassia Dimitrou is next in line to head the Greek Mafia. Her entire life has been planned out for her to take her rightful place. While working alongside her father, Ilias Dimitrou, she is learning all she needs to know to take over one day soon. But fate has other plans for her. Cassia doesn’t have the same plans for the Greek Mafia as her father. Her father brokers and alliance with other Mafia heads a year ago, all but cementing her rightful place. She has put on a strong front and has shown the others that she is a force to be reckoned with. But deep down inside she is scared beyond belief. She can’t show them any fear. And she manages to put on a brave face despite everything going on around her. And as her father becomes increasingly chaotic and sporadic in his choices, Cassia does everything in her power to persuade him not to start a war with the Russian Bratva. But that war comes to her. And with losing everything that means anything to her, she must do everything in her power to protect herself and take her rightful place.

Thats when she meets Lincoln Knight. He hangs around with Santiago Castro, and he is there for one reason and one reason only. To kill the evilest of people. And that is exactly what he has done for two years. That is until he lays eyes on Cassia. When Cassia puts a call out for help to her alliance members, they send Knight. Knight does everything in his power to save Cassia and her sister.

Will they survive what has just happened to them? Will Cassia be able to take her rightful place as head of the Greek Mafia?

This book was wonderfully written. Cassia is a strong, determined young woman. Who has one thing on her mind. Taking over the Greek Mafia. While she is determined to take her place, she is also scared and trying everything in her power not to show weakness to any of her enemies. I love the bond she builds slowly with Knight and how he must protect her at all costs from the moment he meets her. Knight comes with his own baggage and the moment he meets Cassia he begins to see he has something to live for again.

The story of Knights past takes him to a dark place, and you are on a journey with him and he finds himself again in the love and caring support of Cassia. This book comes with a trigger warning, please make sure you check that out before reading. Wonderful second book to the series. Can’t wait to read Santiago’s book next.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 3, 2025

I entered an arranged marriage so my sister, Ciara, could marry for love. Three years later, I’m a widow, and my father arranges for Ciara to marry Dominik Varga. The assassin slash arms dealer is as dangerous as he’s quiet, which is very unnerving.

Needless to say, I’m not happy at all. A deal was a deal, and I kept my end of it, so there’s no way on God’s green earth I’ll just sit back and smile like a good little girl. I’ll fight for Ciara’s freedom so she won’t have to face the hell I was forced to endure.

But Dominik doesn’t make things easy for me. He’s determined to get his hands on half of Dad’s empire.
When he moves into my family home, my entire routine unravels. I have to fight for more than just my sister’s freedom because I’m in danger of losing my heart.

I refuse to admit I’m drawn to his darkness. If I do, God only knows whether we’ll survive the fire raging between us.

•••••

REVIEW:The Hermit is book one in the Mafia Empire series by Michelle Heard.

Dominik Varga is 38-year-old assassin and arms dealer with the mafia. He prefers to be alone or with his “sister” Evinka Fico. When Dominik is hired to rescue the daughter of the Irish Mafia boss Ian Devlin he takes the job.

Grace Devlin is 32 years old and she has been kidnapped, beaten and almost left for dead. That is until she is rescued by a talk dark stranger and returned to her father. The price her father is willing to pay for her return – he wants Dominik to marry one of Devlin’s daughters. Dominik agrees to his wishes and asks for fifty percent of Devlin’s company.
Devlin agrees to allow his younger daughter Ciara to marry Dominik. Much to Grace’s denial.

Grace was forced into an arranged marriage before, and her husband beat and raped her constantly. That is until he was assassinated. Now back home with her father, there is no way Grace will allow Ciara to marry for Anything other reason than love. She will risk her life to save her sister. Dominik finds Grace’s willingness to risk her life to save her sister – endearing.

Grace’s father asks both of his daughters to get to know Dominik over the next few days that he will be staying with them.
Dominik already has his mind made up – he wants the fiery sister. Ian Devlin doesn’t want to give Grace to Dominik. The day before the wedding is to take place, Ciara runs away. Leaving Grace to deal with the dark, handsome, stranger. In the end Dominik chooses Grace.

Will Grace ever be able to let down her walls and find love for the first time.
Will she be able to put the trauma of her past to rest and recover with the life she deserves with Dominik?

I absolutely loved this book. Dominik is the dark and brooding type who you just want to break down his walls for him.
He is deadly and demanding on one note and loving and protective the next. He fell hard for Grace despite her previous trauma’s and triggers.

This book was full of mafia violence, romance and a slow build to love and trust. I can’t wait for book two. Highly recommend.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 26, 2024

I was born into the Cosa Nostra, so I’ve always known an arranged marriage loomed in my future.

When the Capo dei Capi of the Cosa Nostra comes to Sicily to give his approval for his cousin, Stefano, to take me as his bride, I know my fate is all but sealed. Marrying Stefano is the last thing I want, but being a woman, I don’t have a say in the matter.

Damiano Falco is merciless and rules the Cosa Nostra with an iron fist. Everyone fears him and won’t dare go against him.
I’m still trying to accept that I’ll have no choice but to marry Stefano when Damiano utters the last word anyone expects to hear.

“No.”

He doesn’t give his approval, nor does he offer any explanation.

But if I think his refusal will set me free, I have another thing coming. Instead, my bags are packed, and within hours, I find myself sitting on a private jet with the head of the Costa Nostra.
The ruthless man doesn’t tell me anything, and I have no idea what my future holds.

To say I’m terrified is the understatement of the century.

REVIEW:God Of Vengeance is book five in the Kings of Mafia series by Michelle Heard. This book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series.

Gabriella di Bella is a 23-year-old mafia princess. She wasn’t raised as a princess though, in fact her life was nothing but traumatic. Her family raised her for one purpose – to arrange a marriage that benefited them. And that is where the story begins. Gabriella is set to marry Stefano Ferraro, well, that is if the Capo dei Capi of the Cosa Nostra approves it. The approval must come from Damiano Falco himself. Damiano is in charge of the entire Cosa Nostra at 38 years old. When Gabriella finds out that Damiano is coming to her home to give her family approval to marry her off, she is scared. She has heard stories of the brutal man Damiano is.

But Gabriella doesn’t want to marry Stefano, the abuse she has received all her life is already continuing with him before they are even engaged. Stefano is in his late 40’s, and not once has he ever offered Gabriella a smile or a kind word. The last thing she wants is to marry him. When Damiano arrives to discuss the arranged marriage, he sees exactly how Gabriella has been treated by both her family and her betrothed.

The last thing he wants it to allow Stefano to marry her. Damiano has other plans. Once he denies the approval for the marriage, he decides to take Gabriella away from her family and will find someone else within the Cosa Nostra to marry her. She is of course a Mafia Princess and deserves to be treated as such.

But his plan doesn’t go quite how he wants it to. The man he had thought would be perfect for Gabriella has already set his sights on someone else. Now he must decide what to do with her. He knows he can’t return her to her family with how they treated her. He will never approve her marriage to Stefano. With every passing day he watches Gabriella acclimate to life in his world, in his home. When he can no longer deny his feelings for her he must decide what to do with her. Will she ever be able to love him being that he is one of the most ruthless men in the Cosa Nostra?

Gabriella is a strong-willed survivor. She has spent her life suffering abuse at the hands of her family. But she will not allow them to see her weak.
Standing tall in the face of the abuse they doled out; she knows her life had a bigger purpose than marrying Stefano.

So when the leader of the Cosa Nostra takes her with him she doesn’t protest too much. Although he is dark and dangerous walking, she has no idea what he has in store for her. But she does know he is the most intriguing man she has ever met. And as her feelings for him grow, she wonders if he could ever feel the same towards her.

I absolutely loved this story. Damiano was dark, brooding and death walking. He was the most terrifying and intimidating of all the Cosa Nostra.
I enjoyed his character immensely. I loved the slowness of the build of their relationship. And how long it took him to admit he had feelings for Gabriella. I loved reading how Gabriella came into her own and how she realizes her role and what she will be within the Cosa Nostra.
An amazing read if you love mafia romance. Can’t recommend this entire series enough.

Please heed the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.

Poverty is an understatement when it comes to describing my circumstances. My mother is a lost cause I can’t get rid of, and I work my fingers to the bone just trying to keep my head above water.

To ease the stress bearing down on my shoulders, I like to dance. Working as a janitor at a ballet company makes it easy for me to steal thirty minutes at night when the place is empty.

Or so I thought. Just my luck that the dangerously handsome owner catches me red-handed. He thinks I’m a hardworking ballerina, and I don’t bother correcting him… because, you know, I’d like to keep my job.

Dario La Rosa has every girl at the company swooning, hoping she’ll be the one to end his bachelor status. Me? I just want to keep my secret and try to avoid the man at all costs.
But then my mother’s sins burst through my dilapidated front door, and my life takes a turn for the worse.

Turns out Dario isn’t who I thought he was, and the man has the power to not only change my entire life, but to keep me from losing it.

Even though I’m drawn to the darkness coming off him waves, I’m not sure whether I should run or stay.

What would you do?

••••••

REVIEW:Dario La Rosa, 31, is one of the Cosa Nostra’s Mafia leaders. He is also the new owner of The Ballet Company, now named La Rosa Opera Ballet. That is where Eden Taylor, 24, works. Well one if her jobs. She’s a janitor there and she has heard tell about the how handsome and rich the new owner is.

Unfased, she has work to do. And every night she steaks away into one of the studios and just dances her stress and cares away. Its on such a night that Dario sees her. Unbeknownst to him, he has no idea who she is or that she even works for him. And after weeks of trying yo get this woman and her dancing out of his head he finally tracks her down.

There is chemistry that he has never felt before, with anyone. He wants nothing more than to get to know her. Eden knows that Dario is way out if league. She doesn’t belong in his circles. She barely makes ends meet and his is super rich. But she loves how he watches her dance. And how he wants to get to know her. But how will he feel when he finds out she is the janitor at his company. And what will happen when she finds out he is a Mafia King.

Their worlds collide in a beautifully well written dance, that leaves you wanting for more. But Eden’s past catches up with her and her life is at risk. Can Dario save her from the predicament she finds herself in? Will he get to her in time?

As with all of the Mafia Kings books, this one was sweet and beautifully written. I highly recommend each book in this series!
