Free Dark Mafia Romance Novels — read online
The darkest corner of the underworld shelf. In these stories the don is not a misunderstood businessman: he is the most dangerous man in the city, and she is the one thing he will break every rule for. Arranged marriages sealed over a body, vows made at gunpoint, families that settle debts in blood, and a heroine who learns to play the game better than the men who built it. Possessive, violent toward everyone but her, and impossible to put down. The first half of every one is free to read.
