Duplicity

Serpico Family, Book 1

NADIA

I've spent my life in a cage designed by my father—at his mercy and whim. I'm penniless, powerless, and frequently reminded that I'm nothing more than property to barter amongst his powerful friends. Until the eve of my twentieth birthday, when I learn my future holds more misery than my past.

It's the day he's waited for—the day he sells my hand to the highest bidder. I have no choice and no voice. But that's not how my story ends. They say a wolf will chew off its foot to escape a trap, and that's precisely what I do when I flee into the arms of my father's greatest enemy.

Dante Serpico is a man of many secrets. On the surface, he's a wealthy real estate tycoon, respected by politicians and the city's elite. Behind the mask, he's the most dangerous man in New York. I have nothing to offer but myself, but something about the look in his eyes and the tight clench of his chiseled jaw tells me he won't say no.

I've made a deal with the devil and leapt from the frying pan into the fire. He makes me the queen of his world, makes me fall in love, then reveals the biggest secret of all. How can I forgive his betrayal? How can I live without him?

Contains mature themes.

Captivating

Keep u interested great plot twist steam yes . I really liked this story it keeps u reading

double love

wow what a suprise.. mafia love is the best romance. loved the story line... wish it was longer.... but loved it anyways! narration was perfect!!!!

Twin Swap

Mafia romance, forced marriage (FMC saves herself). She chooses who she marries, but someone is trying to kill her - why? Her new husband has a secret.

The narrators make it

The premise of this story is pretty cliche. I’m personally not a huge fan of age-gap romances but if you like that, you’ll like this. However, I am SO appreciative of the male narrator. He actually raises his voice when a character is shouting, etc and is acting more than just reading.
