Bitter Pledge: A Dark Mafia Romance by B. B. Hamel

She’s the forbidden fruit and the poisoned apple.
But I’ll taste her and keep her, no matter the cost.

Capri Balestra is everything. Beautiful, clever, captivating. For years, she’s been off limits, arranged by her father to marry my best friend Carmine Falsone.

But Capri and Carmine never loved each other.

I kept my distance and my feelings stayed buried. I wouldn’t ever cross that line, no matter how much Capri made my blood sing with wicked need.

Until Carmine and his family were murdered by Capri’s father. Now the whole world’s a smoking ruin.

I’m a broken man, and only one thing can fill the gaping wound in my heart: Capri Balestra.

I’ll get my revenge for my dead best friend.

And Capri’s going to help me, whether she likes it or not.

If the Shoe Fits (Almost Royal Book 1) by Rachel Lacey

NOT ALL FAIRYTALES END AT MIDNIGHT

Elle Davenport is no princess—she just dresses up as one for her job at a local theme park. But when she gets the call that she’s won a contest to live and work at a real-life castle in Virginia, she finally feels like she’s found her calling. If she’s successful, her venture could become permanent, and that sounds like Elle’s idea of the perfect modern-day fairytale. There’s only one problem: the castle’s grumpy—and sexy—new owner wants her gone as soon as possible.

Theo Langdon never imagined he’d inherit the title of Earl of Highcastle so young. With his grandfather’s recent death, he needs to sell Rosemont Castle so he can return to London. If only he wasn’t butting heads with the vivacious new property manager at every corner. Although he’s got a life waiting for him in London, Rosemont Castle suddenly feels a lot like home, thanks to Elle. As the clock winds down on her time at the castle, he’ll have to reconcile his obligations in London with the American woman who’s stolen his heart.

Vicious (Sinners of Saint Book 1) by L.J. Shen

Emilia

They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true.
The man who comes to me in my dreams also
haunts me in my nightmares.
He is a brilliant lawyer.
A skilled criminal.
A beautiful liar.
A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.
Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him.

Vicious

She is a starving artist.
Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom.
Ten years ago, she barged into my life
unannounced and turned everything upside down.
She paid the price.
Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate.
That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t.
So she hates me. Big fucking deal.
She better get used to me.
