DOLCE OBSCURITà
unspoken Devotion
Devotion to family can’t always overrule the heart.
Carmen has been pining after her next-door neighbor and brother’s best friend, Leo, for nearly her whole life. When she accidentally sends him a scandalous selfie, she is convinced she’s ruined everything. But when Leo comes back to town after being discharged from the military, he shows her that he’s felt the same way about her for years. Despite how close their families are, there’s no denying that they’re meant for each other.
But of course, there’s no happily ever after for two children of the Mafia. When Salvatore, Leo’s father and the Capo in Kansas City, decides to use his second-in-command’s daughter as a pawn to build an alliance with the Irish mob, Carmen is stolen away to be married to an Irish Mob prince.
But Leo is determined to get her back—no matter the cost to the Mafia or their families.

corrupted desires
Enzo Lupo has wanted Ingrid Jacobs for the last three years, ever since she walked into his mother’s coffee shop with her daughter on her hip, asking for a job.
Ingrid is scared and alone after escaping an abusive relationship, but Enzo is willing to wait forever for her. It’s not until he’s installing security cameras at her apartment that he realizes Ingrid isn’t who she seems. Using his skills as a hacker and cyber security expert for the local Mafia, Enzo delves into her affairs to find out exactly what she’s been doing.
But it becomes clear when he confronts her that Ingrid had no idea that she had been working for the Irish—working against the Mafia his family helms. Now Ingrid is set to meet with the head of the Irish mob, and the couple find out far more than they bargained for.
