I am the villain of my own story…
Jilted by my fiance.
A disappointment to my family.
Haunted by my childhood traumas.
I felt so much all my life that I resolved to feeling nothing at all.Until I met my match.
As the most infamous mafioso of the 21st century, Dante Salvatore was madly passionate, unequivocally bad, and entirely too dangerous to know. He was everything I abhorred, yet I found myself representing him in the biggest criminal trial of the decade.
I was so focused on winning and achieving the success I deserved that I didn’t notice the gorgeous black-eyed man’s effect on me until it was too late. My icy heart had been held too close to his flame and now I wouldn’t let Dante go down without fighting with everything I had in me.
Even if the cost of a new life with him meant the loss of my old life and everything I thought I held dear.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes the conclusion to the Anti-Heroes in Love duet, a gripping mafia romance about the capo who will risk everything to keep the woman he loves safe…
I am the hero no one wanted…
I was a murderer.
One of the cruelest and wealthiest men in New York City.
Dante Salvatore, capo of capos.
Yet I had one weakness.
Elena Lombardi.
Cold as ice, sharp as the edge of broken glass, and more beautiful than any woman should have the right to be, she stormed my defenses and razed my life as I knew it to the ground. For her, I would once again play the hero and prove myself worthy of her unconquerable heart.
For her, I would change everything.
I could have left her to the enemies hounding me, but instead, I made the unforgivable decision to take her with me to the old country. Now, there is no other option. In order to keep both of us safe, Elena Lombardi must become my wife.
Oh my goodness…get ready for Dante!

Lottatrice mia,
It’s Valentine’s Day and you are waking up without me. Don’t be too irritated with me, amora mia, I’m merely paying tribute to the bloody massacre of Saint Valentine by beginning the morning with a small interrogation of my own.
By the time you’ve showered, dressed, and made use of the first present I left for you in the bathroom, I’ll be home to start our day of romance properly. You know how impassioned a little early morning violence makes me, and I have just the idea of how to ravish you properly. The truth is, I couldn’t let inamorata mia open her eyes this morning, or any morning, without knowing how I feel about her.
You are the worthiest treasure in my life, and it would be the worst kind of crime to let a single hour pass without you knowing that my life, and my heart, both revolve around you, Elena. The beauty of a single smile from those red lips or the sight of you with our children never fails to make me believe in miracles, even for men like me.
So, thank you. On Valentine’s Day and every other day, thank you for being my wife, my heart, and my life.
Bacioni,
Dante
