Take Me Apart
(2022)(The first book in the Vitale Brothers series)
A novel by Brea Alepoú and Skyler Snow
A man built to expose monsters finds out he wants to belong to one.
The worst thing Enzo Vitale ever did was make me feel safe.
I knew better.
I knew what he was before I ever got close to him. Mafia heir. Killer. A man raised in blood, loyalty, and silence.
I was supposed to expose him.
Instead, I let him touch me.
Let him look too closely.
Let him see the parts of me I kept hidden behind the badge.
Enzo doesn’t offer softness. He offers control. Protection. Possession. The kind of devotion that feels like a threat until you realize no one has ever wanted to keep you that badly before.
I told myself it was the job.
That every kiss was strategy.
That every secret I gave him was another step toward taking his family down.
But lies are easy until they start sounding like prayers.
Now my badge says one thing.
My heart says another.
And Enzo Vitale is watching me like he already knows the truth:
I didn’t infiltrate his world to destroy him.
I came apart the second he touched me.
Take Me Apart is a dark MM mafia romance featuring forbidden obsession, an undercover detective, a possessive mafia heir, enemies-to-lovers tension, betrayal, hurt/comfort, and a dangerous man who does not become good—he becomes devoted. This book can be read as a standalone, but you'll fall in love with the whole Mayhem universe so it's best to read them all in order.
Tropes:
Detective x mafia heir
Forbidden obsession
Dangerous seduction
Enemies to lovers
Possessive MC
Dark MM romance
Genre: Gay Romance
