About this listen
When Liliana Ricci's father arranges her marriage to powerful mafia boss Nicholas Romano, she expects a cold union of convenience. But their initial attraction sparks into fiery passion and Liliana finds herself falling deeply in love. Just as happiness seems within reach, long-buried secrets about her mother's murder emerge, threatening to tear her family apart.
Liliana and Nicholas navigate the dangers of the criminal underworld, defending their empire against rival families while investigating her parents' shadowy past. As clues point to her own father's involvement in her mother's death, Liliana confronts excruciating questions of loyalty, justice and trust.
Through the chaos, Nicholas' unwavering devotion provides Liliana strength. Their all-consuming love carries them through their darkest hours. With Nicholas by her side, Liliana transforms from pawn to queen as together they build a legacy rooted not in fear and domination, but fierce compassion.
Can their powerful bond withstand the sinister forces gathering against them? Passionate and gripping, Secret Passion captures the intoxicating thrill of mafia royalty, set against vivid family drama and a profound, unexpected love.
Secret Passion is a dark mafia, arranged marriage romance. It is the final book in the NY Romano Mafia series and is not a standalone, but finally Liliana and Nicholas have their HEA. The story begins with Secret Betrayal and continues with Secret Revenge.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

How was this a mob boss romance? It sounded like a 50’s gangster film. And having an automated voice for the narrator was the final nail in the coffin
