Brutal Obsessions Series

He doesn’t want ransom. He wants revenge—and he chooses her as the fuse.

Liana Russo walks into the wrong club on the wrong night and ends up in the hands of Rafael “Skull” DeSantis: the city’s most feared enforcer, a man who collects secrets like trophies and keeps his mercy locked behind steel. She’s supposed to be leverage against the father who’s been skimming the DeSantis cut from the docks’ arms trade. A message. A warning. Disposable.

Except Skull doesn’t discard what he claims.

A GPS collar clicks around her throat. A fortress becomes her new cage. Rules are carved into silence—don’t run, don’t touch the collar, don’t lie—while Skull trains her body the way he breaks enemies: patiently, brutally, until fear turns into something sharper. Attraction is a liability. Resistance is a challenge. And the more she fights him, the more he looks at her like she’s not a hostage…but an obsession.

Then the underworld shifts. A traitor resurfaces. Bullets find her. The war Skull started with her name turns personal—and Liana realizes the most dangerous place isn’t inside his walls.

It’s in his arms.

Skulls & Sins is a dark mafia romance packed with captivity/possession tension, forced proximity, morally gray obsession, and high-stakes violence—intended for adult readers.
