Blood & Lace
(2025)(The first book in the Marino Family series)
A novel by Brea Alepoú and Skyler Snow
I came to kill Lucero Marino.
He decided I was his husband instead.
They call me the Black Widow.
Pretty face. Poison smile. Dead husbands buried in expensive graves.
Men have always looked at me and seen something beautiful enough to own. They usually realize their mistake right before I put them in the ground.
Lucero Marino should be no different.
He’s my next target. Another powerful man. Another monster dressed in money and blood. Another name to cross off my list.
But Lucero doesn’t fear me.
He sees me.
The violence. The lies. The darkness under the lace.
And instead of running, he decides he wants all of it.
Now I’m trapped in a marriage I never agreed to, wearing the ring of the man I was sent to kill, and learning that Lucero Marino doesn’t want a sweet, obedient husband.
He wants the Black Widow.
He wants my bite.
He wants my bloodstained hands.
He wants to prove he can love a monster and survive it.
I should kill him for thinking he can keep me.
But the longer he looks at me like I’m not too ruined to want…
The more I want to let him try.
Blood & Lace is a dark MM mafia romance featuring forced marriage, assassin x target, obsessive possession, morally black men, violence, heat, and a love story between two monsters who should never belong to anyone—especially each other.
Tropes:
