The Devils in the Details
(2026)(The third book in the Mafia Mayhem - The Italian Connection series)
A novel by Aja Foxx
~ Aristoteles ~
I was the illegitimate son of Geno Romano, thrust into a leadership role I never wanted. Disgraced and penniless, my family’s legacy hangs by a thread. A cold, calculating mind, I navigate a treacherous world, severing ties with my father’s homophobic old guard and replacing them with a loyal crew I trust. Reclaiming my family’s power is non-negotiable, even if it means burning bridges along the way.
Enter Zephyr Kontos, an eccentric whirlwind hired to untangle the chaos left by Geno. Captivated by the young man’s brilliance and beauty, I felt an intense pull toward him, a stark contrast to my usual ruthlessness. The chemistry between us crackles with sexual tension, but I knew Zephyr's presence could paint a target on his back. When Zephyr permits our connection to deepen, my possessiveness kicks in, compelling me to protect the young man at all costs.
Conflict brews when my Uncle Alexios and cousin Theo challenge my authority, believing me too weak to lead. Alexios seethes at the thought of an illegitimate son in charge, while Theo’s simmering obsession with Zephyr turns dangerous. When Alexios and Theo strike, I am forced to reveal my ruthlessness, proving that I am not just a pawn of the devil—I was the devil.
