Savage Empire By K.L. Mann

Rayna Todorov is no stranger to powerful men disrupting her life. As the daughter of a traitor, she’s lucky to be alive at all.

Instead of paying for her father’s sins with her life, she’s sold from her home, and subject to the ruthless Italians of The Casa Nostra. Forced to marry the worst kind of man, she does everything she can to shield her teenage brother from the worst of their world.

Apollo Moretti takes whatever he wants, when he wants it. As the future Capo to The Outfit, he’s been bred to rule as a merciless king. He only cares about his family, a fact about himself he doesn’t seek to change.

When he bears witness to a young woman who is willing to be beaten in her brother’s place, he can’t resist stepping in. The defiant way Rayna speaks to him, the way she’s willing to do anything to protect her brother… it calls to him.

It doesn’t take long before Apollo decides that Rayna would make a great mother. And it just so happens, he’s ready for an heir.

This is a dark mafia romance.
