When I was claimed by a monster who said my Strega witch blood was powerful, I didn’t believe him - because nothing shows you how powerless you are like a forced marriage to a vampire. Girls like me are cautionary tales, not the heroine of the story. Then my mother walked out of the shadows and into Italy on a ray of light. This time, her lessons lead to power instead of pain. All the vagueness of my sixth sense suddenly has a shape… and I can sculpt it into a weapon. Carmine Montefiore is not my husband by choice. He’s a vampire who scented me. He’s a mafioso who kidnapped me. But like a girl with nothing to lose, I fell in love with the dark. He put me in thrall when he took my blood. I rewrote his heart when I found it waiting for me. We need each other as much as we want each other. To earn my freedom, I could master my magic and end the monster who made me fall for him, or defeat the most powerful monster of all.

Unfortunately, the woman he’s pining for only appreciates him for his flathead. That’s when an itsy-bitsy spider that’s possessed by an ambitious demon drops by with a way to break the curse. Sophia has to grasp her screwdriver’s thicker side in a very intimate way before she and her entire toolbox get completely screwed. ---- If, when you finish this book, you ask yourself “What the heckiddy-heck did I just read?” then I have done my job. If, despite this pertinent and valid question, you’re interested in watching this story turn Why Choose, stay tuned for three more novellas about Sophia and the rest of the toolbox crew.

An epic mafia romance trilogy that sets a new bar for just how dark a hero can get, from New York Times bestselling author CD Reiss. Some girls dream of marrying a prince, but I never imagined I''d be sold to a king. Santino DiLustro. The king. The monster. The keeper of secrets. When he forced me to marry him, I cried for love I''d never know. When he locked me away, I cried for the freedom I lost forever. Every other tear I''ve shed is for my soul, because I''m falling for the devil himself. ---Mafia Bride is the first book in the dark mafia romance trilogy, The DiLustro Arrangement. It is not for the faint of heart. If you don''t like kidnapping, car chases, violent passions held under wraps for so long they explode in a storm of filthy talk and rough, graphic marital relations, move along. No hard feelings.

Sold to one man. Forced to marry a monster. Today, I become a mafia bride. My father’s sold me into marriage for the good of the family. In the back of the limo, next to my Daddy, I promise myself I’m going to do everything I can to be a good wife. It’s what I was raised for. But the driver takes a wrong turn, stops the car, pulls a gun on Daddy and says, “Your daughter is mine. Get out.” From then on, I am Dario Lucari’s prisoner. He''s both beautiful monster and cruel angel, and no matter what he makes me do, he will not rest until he has taken his revenge on my father. Suddenly thrust into a world of betrayal, lies, and deviance, all I have to do to escape is betray everything I’ve ever loved, and try not to love the man I must destroy. Take Me Capo is the first book in the filthy, heart-pounding Manhattan Mafia trilogy.

Santino is my king. My lover. My husband. He’s the head of the Cavallo crime family and the moment he choked my vows from me, my life was bound to his. I’m done fighting my fate, until I hear two rumors, and I’m shaken to the core. One rumor about the past—that I wasn’t the first bride Santino took. Another about the future—a new bride is about to be taken. Changing the old ways is like dousing the flames of hell with tears. But I married the devil himself, and when I vowed to obey, I lied. Book two of three in the The Dilustro Arrangement.

It was always Sarah. And she was always mine. I woke up in a nightmare. I woke up alone. There was a reason I never let myself have feelings before. Emotions make you stupid. They make you miscalculate. If someone gave me the choice, I’d do it all over again. Only this time, I’d stop everyone who ever looked at the woman I love before they had the chance to hurt her. But since that’s not an option, I’ll just have to stay alive long enough to find her. And together, we’ll break the whole world for what they’ve done. *** Break Me is the third book in the filthy, heart-pounding Manhattan Mafia trilogy.

What doesn’t kill you makes you a killer. Santino DiLustro changed me. You can’t spend time in bed with the devil without getting addicted to the heat. Before him, I was a girl. Innocent and weak. Now, I’m a woman. A fighter. A killer. I’ll burn the world down for him. Shatter the sky. But I will not break. No. I will rise up and destroy whoever dares to threaten what my king has built, because I am forever his queen. Book three of three in the The Dilustro Arrangement.

A QUEEN IN WAITING After fifty years of peace, Carmine Montefiore''s decree rains down on the families of this city. Your daughters will line up, and he will choose his bride. When families have failed to release their girls to the line, the Montefiores have left a bloodbath behind. It is my birthright to be sacrificed. And so my only hope for a new life comes at the hands of Massimo Colonia, a man stained with sin...and absolutely forbidden. A KING IN EXILE All I want to do is return home and take back my kingdom, but the moment I see her in that dark alley, my world shifts. She is mine. And if the Families think I’m handing her over to keep their peace, they’ll find out how wrong they are. They’ve forgotten who they are dealing with. I am the last capo of the Colonia, and for her, I will rain hell on all of them.

Monica believes Jonathan despite her better judgment. Forgives him despite her doubts. She loves him…just because. Her heart isn''t sensible or guarded enough. Not by a sight. She’s a walking raw nerve ending of emotion, as if the celibate years she''d spent before him made her more emotional, more vulnerable, more foolish. And she agreed to all of it yesterday and today. She’d agree to it tomorrow and forever, but for one thing. There might not be a tomorrow for her king.

Monica’s not weak or fragile, but she’s never going to be the same under Jonathan’s thumb. He’s so dark. So cruel. So demanding. She can’t commit to him. She can’t abdicate her will to his or promise to play his games. But he keeps drawing her back in. He’ll break her, but in the end, she’s going to beg to be shattered.

When a mysterious letter promised me an inheritance courtesy of a long-lost family in Italy, I probably should have asked more questions. Bur all I had in the California desert was an institutionalized mother and a load of bad memories. I couldn’t run away from that dead-end life fast enough. Instead, I danced straight into the bloody arms of Carmine Montefiore. He’s the monster mothers warn their children about. The capo other families kneel to. A vampire in danger of losing his immortality and his throne. He needs three things to reclaim his power. The knife that will cut and heal him. The bride who will restore his authority. The blood of a Strega that will renew his immortality. Apparently, I’m the answer to all three…except for one thing. He can’t come inside me without an invitation.

Someone who can give him everything he ever wanted, and who can shake them to their very core. #livetogether #dietogether In this stunning conclusion to the USA Today Bestselling series, Antonio and Theresa will have their passion, their devotion and their very will to live tested.

Colton Crowne is famous for two things: being one of the music industry''s most talented producers and partying away his massive inheritance. I''m a singer with stage fright who''s famous for...well...nothing yet. And I promised my family if I didn''t make it big by the end of this year, I''d go back to med school. My agent thinks Colton and I would be a great team both in the studio, and outside of it-especially if label executives think we''re dating. The rules? We can kiss in public, but not in private. We can act like we''re doing the deed, as long as we''re not. And as far as having actual feelings for each other goes...that''s obviously out of the question. But after so many late nights in the studio and a bunch of stolen kisses, I start to see beyond his party boy facade to something real underneath. And he believes in me-with his coaching and encouragement, I''m finally overcoming my anxiety and giving the best performances of my life. If only time wasn''t running out so fast. Then Colton has an idea to keep us together. It''s terrible, but it''s the only way. How can I let him destroy everything he''s worked for just to make me happy? ufeffufeffINCLUDES: Hero with a heart of gold, stolen kisses, surprising chivalry, private stuff in a public bathroom, swank parties, grinding it out, stolen glances, and Momma Crowne setting her boy straight.

Michael Graydon has it all - looks, fame, and a couple of Oscars. Does he see me in the crowd of paparazzi?

Or does he know that I’ve ruined everything I’ve ever loved? * We were seventeen when I left, and I never forgot Laine. Not for one minute. Since that day I’ve measured all women against her and every one of them has come up short. We''re in the same town, on the same block, in the same building, and the gulf between us is just too wide to cross. Until I stop running from trouble long enough to throw her camera off a balcony. She’s a career-killer. A PR disaster. Loving her again is career suicide, and I don’t care. This time, I’m running toward her, even if it ruins me. —— Star Crossed was previously released as Shuttergirl, with an epilogue that wasn’t in the last book and previously unpublished, totally swoon-worthy and emotional new scenes.
