Thorns of Desire: A Dark Mafia Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966627166)

I never thought desire could hurt this much.

Cassian Moreau entered my life like a storm, upending everything I thought I knew about control, power, and love. Ivy & Bloom was supposed to be my sanctuary, a place where I could create beauty in a chaotic world. Now, it feels like a distant memory, tangled in the sharp thorns of Cassian's dark empire. He's everything I should fear-dominant, dangerous, unrelenting-but I can't stop wanting him. And that desire? It's both my salvation and my undoing.

Every day, I sink deeper into his world-a world that thrives on shadows and secrets, where loyalty is bought, trust is fleeting, and betrayal can be lethal. Cassian promises to protect me, but even he can't shield me from the dangers closing in. His enemies see me as his weakness, a liability they can use against him. And when his father, Elias, steps out of the grave he was supposed to stay buried in, he doesn't just expose Cassian's past-he threatens our future.

Elias sees me as a thorn in Cassian's side, a distraction that could cost him everything. But he doesn't understand us. He doesn't understand how fiercely Cassian fights for the things-and people-he loves. The Reapers are circling, their attacks growing bolder, their threats more personal. As Cassian works to outmaneuver them, I realize I'm not just a bystander in this fight-I'm a pawn in a deadly game I barely understand. The closer I get to him, the more dangerous it becomes. But the further I pull away, the more I feel like I'm losing myself.

Now I have to decide how far I'm willing to go to stay by his side. Am I strong enough to face the dangers that come with loving a man like Cassian? Or will the thorns of his world tear us apart before we have the chance to truly bloom?

This isn't just about love anymore-it's about survival.
