Why we recommend it

Mafia princes turn a college campus into a battleground, and the heroine is the prize they'll tear each other apart for. This dark bully romance leans hard into criminal menace, possessive obsession, and cruelty that draws blood. Expect feral tension, dangerous loyalties, and a hero who wrecks before he protects. A heavy series opener for readers who want their mafia romance savage and their bullies lethal.
