A Dark Mafia Power-Couple Romance of Obsessive Love, Crime, and Tragic Fate
by Christin Wales
���� A dark mafia romance about a fearless bartender and the crime boss who abducts her—only to find his equal. When Cassia refuses to be caged, their obsession becomes a power-couple pact that bends a city. Glass crowns, whispered vows, and a spotlight rooftop finale—this is a gritty, morally gray love story where consent is a creed and fate is unforgiving.
🖤 What you’ll get
• Power-couple romance with an obsessive antihero and a sharp, unflinching heroine
• Morally gray, high-stakes crime romance set in a neon-soaked city
• Slow-burn to combustible (non-graphic on-page; consent stated)
• Romantic suspense with raids, betrayals, and a relentless taskforce closing in
• Tragic ending that crowns the legend and sticks the landing
• Themes: power without cages, loyalty, found ritual, myth vs. media
��️ Why readers love it
• Reads like romantic noir: lyrical, tense, and unputdownable
• Dual POV (Cassia/Dario) with razor-edged dialogue and intimate, sensory prose
• Fresh tropes executed with restraint: kidnapped heroine who isn’t prey, obsession with boundaries, enemies-to-allies-to-us-against-everyone
