Introduction
Fiorella D’Angelo has always been the sharpest weapon in her father’s arsenal, fierce, fearless, and raised to inherit an empire. When betrayal strikes from within, everything she believed about loyalty shatters. And the man demanding her compliance? Rocco De Luca, the most ruthless son of a rival mafia family, known for breaking rules, bones, and hearts.

The Mafia’s Flower is a gripping, slow-burn dark mafia romance packed with deadly obsession, tortured enemies-to-lovers tension, heart-pounding cliffhangers, and a heroine who never needs saving, but still chooses love.
One empire. One queen. One man who would kill the world to protect her.
Ready to enter their world?
Chapter 1
Fiorella
My father raised me to be a king.
Not a princess, not a pawn in some arranged marriage , not a pretty daughter paraded out for alliances . I was the only child of Alessandro D'Angelo, one the most feared mafia don, and he raised me to be his heir, his successor.
I was taught to shoot before I was taught to ride a bicycle. Taught to snap a man's wrist before I was taught to dance. By the age of thirteen, I had learned the names of all the great families and how to kill them best.
He turned me ruthless. He turned me deadly. He turned me unstoppable.
And yet, somehow, I was standing opposite Rocco De Luca, the most ruthless man in the underworld, and he was staring at me as if I were a puzzle he wished to disassemble.
The air was filled with the scent of sweat, blood, and whiskey.
Underground fight clubs existed, raw, unfiltered, and brutal. The warehouse, dimly lit, was full of it. The horde of men roared as fists landed against flesh, as bones cracked under sadistic force.
I was in the VIP section, watching with detached coolness. I wasn't here to be entertained. I was here on business.
The fight in the ring was almost upon them. One man, a heavily muscled warrior with a crooked nose and blood trickling down his chest, was staggered on his feet. His opponent, a man twice as big as him, was not kind. He landed a body-blowing uppercut, and the other man hit the ground with a hard thud, skull impacting the dirty mat.
The audience cheered.
Pathetic.
The weak did not deserve to live in this world. You learned to fight, or you learned to die. Basic rules, rules that I'd learned as a child.
I shifted my focus from the ring. My prey was in this club somewhere.
Rocco De Luca.
Second son of the De Luca family. The cruelest of the De Luca brothers. A man with no compassion, no doubt, and no conscience.
I'd never seen him before, but I knew the stories.
That he never let enemies live. That his methods of torture were the stuff of legend. That he felt nothing.
He had become even more infamous after his father's death, when Rafael De Luca took over their empire. While Rafael played the strategy game, Rocco played the blood game.
And now I was being compelled to work alongside him.
My dad had made it forcefully plain, this union with the De Luca clan was of the utmost importance. A cooperative effort to stamp out a mutual enemy.
Trust, however? That I was in no position to indulge in.
A shift to my left put my senses on high alarm. I stiffened, poised, but didn't reach for the gun buckled at my thigh just yet.
Because I knew him before I'd turned even half the way around.
Rocco De Luca.
He was leaning there, leaning comfortably against the metal railing of my VIP section as though he had the world at his fingertips. The bad lighting cast harsh shadows on his face, and he looked like something cut out of darkness itself.
Black button-down, sleeves rolled up to the elbow, revealing his inked forearms. Strong jawline, dark stubble tracing his chin. And his eyes, cold, unreadable, dark brown that bordered on black.
The atmosphere between us shifted.
His mouth curled into a smirk that bordered on challenge.
"D'Angelo."
My hand encircled the glass of whiskey I hadn't been sipping. "De Luca."
"You're smaller than I expected you'd be."
"You're as annoying as I expected you'd be."
His smirk widened by a fraction. "I like a woman with bite."
I scowled at him. "And I don't like men who waste my time."
"Shall we get down to business?" I asked.
I sat back, sipping my whiskey. "In a hurry?" he asked.
"Not in the least," I said, but there was a glint in my eyes. "I just like to skip the chit-chat."
He smirked. "Too bad. I was looking forward to it."
There was a flash of something crossing his face, amusement, interest, but it vanished before I could name it.
"Your father hopes that we can work together," he mused. "What do you think?"
"An alliance is convenient for both of us," she continued. "This war that's coming up ahead is not just between small families, t's going to catch fire. The smart ones have already aligned themselves."
"And you'd prefer to be on our side?"
"I'd prefer that we both be on the same one.".
He looked at me. I wasn't wrong. The tension in my world was building. The families that made the bad choices would be buried.
"And what do we get in return?" He asked.
"Resources. Connections. Power." I stared him straight in the eye, no blink. "The question is, do you know how to use them?"
He laughed. "You've got a big mouth on you, don't you?"
His expression didn't change, but I saw the way his fingers twitched , the tightening of his jaw by a fraction.
"Whiskey?" He asked holding his glass out to me.
I took the unused whiskey and dumped it, as the amber-coloured liquid poured onto the floor in front of and between us.
"I think I'd prefer poison."
The grin faded. His expression blanked.
Boom.
The entire building shook.
A deafening explosion burst out of the door, creating a shockwave within the club. The explosion hurled bottles off the bar, men stumbling backward. Screams tore through the air as flames and smoke engulfed the exit.
Gunfire. Screams. Pandemonium.
I reached for my gun, reacted before I had even processed the attack.
Bullets tore through skin. Masked men stormed in through the broken doors, rifles cocked. They moved swiftly, precisely, trained assassins, not rogue thugs.
One of my guards fell beside me, blood spreading around his head.
I crouched behind the bar, pulse pounding but fingers steady. Rocco was already moving, shooting back without hesitation. His men were behind him, but the ambush was brutal.
My ears rang. Smoke filled my lungs.
I glanced at Rocco.
He was already looking at me.
His expression was empty, but something sharp was in his eyes. Something threatening.
"Can hold your own?" he shouted over the gunfire.
I gritted my teeth. "You bet."
Another shot rocked the ring More dead bodies fell.
The attackers were closing in.
I spun around, pointed my gun, and
A bullet tore through my shoulder.
Pain erupted through me.

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.

A pack of their own
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.

The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth.

But one betrayal shatters it all.
Dragged home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax—the Raven Reapers MC's vice president and her brother's best friend. He's infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting for a man she should never touch.
And the deeper Wren is pulled back into his world, the more she realizes nothing about her past—or about Ezra—is what she believed.
In the chaos of gang wars, mounting debts, and old betrayals, he becomes the one constant. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more lethal his pull becomes.
Because in this world, love isn't sweet.
It's brutal. Bloody.
And it's bound to break them both.
When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?
