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.
