Life for the Balestras is simple: you take care of the family, and you do your job.

You certainly do not fall for your brother-in-law.

When my sister’s virginity was sold, we all thought her wedding band would be her shackle. Instead, I fell head over heels for her fake fiancé.

Ricardo Assante is tall, dark, and deadly. He breathes danger like oxygen. He’ll break my heart, for sure, and I’m completely willing to fall at his feet and let myself burn. The golden daughter and her dark demon.

But he needs to see that I’m not a plaything. I’m a prize. The feud between our families might have ended with his uncle’s union, but I’m readying the next battlefield, whether I mean to start a war or not. The only question left is whether I’ll be the one with my heart torn out or whether our love will end in ruin for us both.

Bitter Lies is a forbidden lovers dark mafia romance and book 2 in the series, following the Balestra crime family.

Tropes: mafia family, criminal underground, forbidden love, steamy, praise kink, dark secrets, witty banter
