Forgive Me, Father
(2024)(The second book in the New York Organizations series)
A novel by Samara Jones
When a former priest and a mafia princess are forced into an arranged marriage, good and evil collide.
Former seminary student John Rossi is pressured to abandon the priesthood and take his place in the violent world of organized crime, he has no choice but to marry Arianna Bencivenga, a ruthless mafia princess whose beauty is only matched by her deadly reputation. She is everything John swore to avoid—cunning, manipulative, and unrepentant in her sins. Under different circumstances, she would be the type of woman confessing her darkest deeds to him in the secrecy of the confessional booth. Now, she is his wife.
As John struggles to reconcile his faith with his new life, Arianna seems determined to drag him deeper into her dark world. She is unapologetic, seductive, and utterly loyal to her family. These qualities both intrigue and terrify him. But behind her icy exterior, John begins to suspect there is more to Arianna than the sinner she appears to be.
Is it easier for a sinner to fall in love, or for a former priest to become a brutal mafia boss?
Publisher's Note: Forgive Me, Father is a steamy opposites attract, sinner vs saint romance. It's book two in the New York Organization series but can be read as a standalone. The story may be a poor fit for sensitive readers or devout Catholics. Please note, John Rossi isn’t the typical mafia alpha character.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
