Capo, F1 Race Driver...Unhinged Kidnapper

I should be thinking about survival. Instead, I’m dying with her name on my lips.Giada Mancinelli—the girl who owned my heart at sixteen. The girl who pulled the trigger that killed my mother. The girl everyone believes is dead. I spent years trying to erase her, bury my desire, outrun her ghost on racetracks across the world. I failed.

Crashing my F1 race car leaves me broken, drugged, and barely holding on—but wide awake when I see her. A woman in a nun’s habit standing at my bedside. For one unhinged moment, I think I’m hallucinating. Until I realize the impossible truth. She’s real. And she’s finally mine.

Mafia Princess, Secret Keeper...Novice Nun?

My name is Sister Benedetta but he calls me Giada. He tells me I survived by disappearing. By hiding. By forgetting. I remember none of it.

Taken from a Sicilian convent and placed beside a man held together by scars and rage, I feel the weight of sins I can’t recall. Renzo Salvatore looks at me like I’m both absolution and damnation. The past wants me dead. The mafia wants me silent. And the man who should hate me most may be the only one ruthless enough to keep me alive. Because some loves don’t fade. They become lethal.

Escape into a world of dark and brooding protectors, warring rival mafia families, and morally grey romance that will steal your heart ❤️‍🔥
