Depths of Obsession
(2025)(The second book in the Emerald Dagger Mafia series)
A novel by A X Ballantyne
I thought vampires were a figment of someone's overactive imagination. I couldn't have been more wrong.
I thought I was finally free from the mafia life. After graduating from law school in the U.S., I returned home to witness my best friend’s arranged marriage to one of the Valdici brothers. Determined to avoid the same fate, I took a job with an art dealer, Marcello Donato, whose business it turns out is anything but legitimate. Maybe that’s why he hired me.
Now, I’ve stumbled upon a dead body and some expensive art is missing. It’s like I’m being pulled back into the dangerous world I thought I’d left behind. And to make matters worse, I’ve been forced to work with Luca Valdici, one of the very men I was trying to avoid.
Our attraction is undeniable, but I know better than to trust a Valdici. They’re all about power and control. And I’ve already sworn to myself that I’ll never become a mafia wife. But as secrets unravel and the stakes rise, I question everything I thought I knew. In this deadly dance of seduction and betrayal, one wrong move could cost me everything.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
