Blood & Lace
(2025)(The first book in the Marino Family series)
A novel by Brea Alepoú and Skyler Snow
He was supposed to be my victim. Instead, he made himself my husband.
I was sent to kill Lucero Marino.
That was the job.
Smile pretty. Get close. Slip the blade in. Leave another powerful man dead before he ever understood the danger sitting in his lap.
I’ve done it before.
Dead husbands. Expensive graves. And little tragedies that made New York whisper my name like a warning.
The Black Widow.
But Lucero isn’t afraid of me.
He’s fascinated.
The moment he catches me, everything changes. I stop being his assassin and become his obsession. His bride. His beautiful, deadly mistake. He doesn’t care that I came for his blood. He doesn’t care that I’m poison in lace.
He wants the monster.
And Lucero Marino has never been denied anything in his life.
Now I’m trapped in a marriage I never agreed to, wearing his ring, sleeping in his bed, and learning the horrifying truth:
My next victim may be the only man alive twisted enough to love me.
And if I don’t kill him first…
I might let him.

Tropes:
MM Mafia Romance
Assassin x Target
Forced Marriage
Obsessed Mafia Man
