She vanished without a trace, leaving me with nothing but questions. For years, I searched—hiring the best, following every lead—but Caroline Stratford had disappeared into thin air. Now I know why. She wasn’t just hiding from me; she was hiding something
of mine. She lied about who she was, and when she saw the dangerous world I lived in, she ran. But my father’s death changed everything, forcing me to become the face of our empire. For years, I lived with a void only she could fill. Now that I’ve found her, there’s no running. Caroline will be mine—no matter the cost.

When I ran, I thought I’d left him behind forever. I changed my name, built a new life, and protected the one secret I couldn’t afford to lose. Five years of freedom lulled me into a false sense of security, and it was my biggest mistake. Massimo found me. He found
us. There’s no escaping him now. As the leader of the Sicilian mafia, he’s more powerful—and more dangerous—than ever. My only choice is to face him. But how can I survive his dark world without losing myself completely?

Forbidden is book two in the Vicious Hearts Series. A dark mafia romance that is a rollercoaster of a ride. Follow along with Nikki Rome for important content warnings.
