Sweet Venom: Dark Mafia Romance

I came to New York to start over, to build something for myself that had nothing to do with my past. A bakery, a quiet life, a chance to breathe.

Then he walked in. 

Antonio Vitale. Sharp suit, sharper eyes, and a name that sent chills down my spine when I learned the truth. Mob boss. Criminal. A man I had no business wanting.I should’ve been afraid. Should’ve told him to take his coffee and never come back. But every time he showed up, watching me like I was something he wasn’t sure he could have, I felt it... that pull. That undeniable, reckless hunger.

Now, I’m in deep. His world is crashing into mine, and no amount of sugar and flour can sweeten what's creeping in. He’s got blood on his hands, shadows in his eyes, and a name that makes men tremble. And yet, when he touches me, I don’t feel afraid. I feel alive. Maybe that makes me reckless. Maybe it makes me stupid. But it’s too late now. Because I’ve seen the man beneath the crime boss... and he’s mine.

Antonio

She should’ve never let me in. I should’ve never fucking stayed. But Alice isn’t just another pretty face in this godforsaken city—she’s warmth where I’ve only known cold, sweetness in a life that’s been anything but. I didn’t go looking for her, but the second I had her, I knew I was never letting go.

But I got too close. And now, she’s a target. Because of me. Because of my name, my past, my enemies who see her as leverage, a weakness to exploit. They think they can take her from me. They don’t realize... I’d tear the whole city apart before I let that happen.

Let them come. I’ve spent my life burying men like them. And for her, I’ll bury a hundred more.
