ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 18, 2025

I spent twelve years plotting his murder. Marrying him wasn’t part of the plan.
Torin Murphy pulled me from the flames that consumed my family when I was only ten years old. The Irish assassin with midnight blue eyes stole everything I loved. So I’ve built my entire life around one goal: making him pay.

But now there’s a hit on my head, and the only way to survive is a blood marriage to the man I’ve sworn to destroy.

He thinks he’s my savior. But I know what I saw…death and destruction in his wake, my parents’ blood on his hands.

Now I’m trapped in his world, bound by mafia law to a man who makes my body burn with unwanted desire. The ruthless head of a powerful crime family who kills without mercy, but touches me like I’m precious.

He sees through my hatred. He knows exactly how to break down my defenses with his dark games. The way he looks at me, like he wants to equally cherish and dominate me, makes me forget I’m supposed to hate him.

But the deeper I fall into his dangerous world, the more the truth about that night threatens to surface. And when ghosts from his past come looking for me, I’ll have to choose between the revenge that’s defined me and the man who might be my salvation.

I wasn’t supposed to end up in his bed. I wasn’t supposed to fall for my enemy.
And I definitely wasn’t supposed to discover that everything I believed was a lie.

REVIEW: THE MAFIA ASSASSIN’S REDEMPTION is the second instalment in Kristen Luciani’s contemporary, adult MAFIA OBSESSION dark, erotic, Mafia romance. This is Irish mobster Torin Murphy, and twenty-two year old, Clarita Harriet ‘Harry’ Federici, aka Hazel White’s story line. THE MAFIA ASSASSIN’S REDEMPTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE:  Due to the nature of the story line premise including violence and Dom/sub situations, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Harry and Torin) THE MAFIA ASSASSIN’S REDEMPTION follows the blood marriage between our story line couple. Approximately twelve years earlier Harriet Federici lost her parents to an assassin’s bullets and subsequent fire , and our heroine blames Torin Murphy for their demise. Fast forward to present day, having promised to avenge the murder of her parents, Harry aka Harriet will discover there is a price on her head, and a marriage to Torin Murphy should ensure her future protection but all does not go according to plan, as Torin becomes guardian and protector as our heroine continues to plan her escape and the end of our story line hero.

The world building follows several paths including the search for the truth. Harry is determined to destroy the man she believes destroyed her life, as Torin must struggles to uncover the person(s) responsible to taking aim at our story line couple.

The relationship between Torin and Harry is tempestuous at best. Harry wants nothing to do with a marriage or our story line hero, as Torin battles his need to Dominate a woman who refuses to back down. Harry pushes back at every opportunity, reminding Torin of the betrayal and loss of her family. The $ex scenes are erotic, and intense but I did not feel the any palpable sexual attraction or need-the relationship felt more like jailer and prisoner.

The colorful secondary and supporting characters include Torin’s brothers Callan and Lucia, Declan, their mother, Harry’s uncle Anthony, and Father Luigi. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE MAFIA ASSASSIN’S REDEMPTION is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is limited but provocative; the characters are desperate and determined.
