deadly deceit: a rivals to lovers mafia romance

Delancy

Most people have normal, boring jobs. Not me.

I kill for a living.

I’m a hitman for the Queensboro Mob, and I’m on a path of vengeance, vowing to destroy my rival, the leader of the Empire mafia and the most powerful man in New York City.

But I find myself distracted by my beautiful neighbor.

I hate her.

I want her.

I’ve become obsessed with her.

I want to know everything about her.

Then I want to make her mine.

Noah

Being a mafia princess means eyes are always on me. It makes hiding my secrets difficult.

But they must stay hidden.

No matter what.

No distractions allowed.

I find myself distracted by my neighbor though.

He’s sexy.

He’s annoying.

I can’t stand him.

Yet there’s something about him that pulls me in.

Maybe it’s the way his gaze lingers on my body.

Or the secrets in his dark eyes.

But whatever it is, I’m determined to find out.
