Loving the Wicked: A Dark Mafia Romance (The Wicked Trilogy, 2)

She knows exactly what he is. She falls for him anyway.

Elena Vasquez didn't survive the brutal world of the Moretti crime family by trusting dangerous men — yet here she stands, breathless and furious, in the arms of the one man she swore to destroy. Damiano Moretti isn't just her enemy. He's the reason her family is dead.

He's also the only person keeping her alive.

Their arrangement is simple: she plays his devoted girlfriend while he hunts the traitor poisoning his organization from within. No feelings. No complications. Certainly no lingering touches that last a breath too long, no conversations that stretch past midnight, no moments where hatred blurs dangerously into something she refuses to name.

But Damiano isn't the cold-blooded monster she constructed in her grief. He's worse — he's complicated. Protective in ways that disarm her. Honest in ways that terrify her. And when he looks at her like she's the one thing in his empire worth saving, Elena realizes the real threat was never the men with guns.

It was always him.

The closer she gets to the truth about her family's deaths, the closer she gets to losing herself entirely — because some secrets, once uncovered, don't set you free.

They just give you something new to grieve.

*Loving the Wicked* is a scorching dark romance where the line between revenge and surrender has never felt more devastating.
