Cruel Throne: A Mafia Romance

About this book

Years ago, Lorenzo Amante was just the help on Victoria’s family estate—a sweet, forbidden first love destined to be torn apart by her controlling parents. Now, the boy who once held her heart has transformed into a ruthless mafia leader. Driven by the sting of past betrayal, Lorenzo returns as a force of vengeance, systematically dismantling her family’s empire and leaving nothing standing except for Victoria herself. Caught in a forced marriage and trapped within the proximity of her former lover, Victoria must navigate a dangerous new reality. The boy she remembers is gone, replaced by a man defined by power, secrecy, and a dark, consuming need for retribution. As they are thrust back together, the lines between past devotion and present hatred blur, forcing them to confront the devastating secrets that tore them apart years ago. Featuring the high-stakes tension of a second-chance romance, this dark mafia tale explores whether love can survive among monsters. With the atmospheric pull of a forced proximity trope and the weight of a shattered history, the couple must decide if their rekindled bond will be their ultimate salvation or their final undoing in a world built on blood and lies.
