About this listen
Nica
The De Luca name tastes like power, money, and a darkness that chills me to the bone, and now my father's blood screams for vengeance—I'm going to make them pay.
But then I see him: Elio De Luca. Sharp jaw, ink-black hair falling messy over his brow, and eyes that sear right through me.
I know he’s a predator, but even his stare makes my skin heat, making me question if this is really the same boy who shared stolen candy with me.
Now, he commands an empire built on blood. His eyes meet mine—and I’m sure there’s a flicker of recognition followed by a cold mask. I know I’m taking a risk by being here; still, I wonder if there’s something left of the boy I knew beneath that ruthless facade. Stepping into Elio’s world, a world I left behind as a child, could cost me more than just my heart—it could cost me my life.
Elio
The scent of cinnamon hits me like a ghost from a past I thought was long gone, and suddenly, she's here, at my event – Nica. My gaze sweeps over her curves, lingering longer than it should; she’s a distraction I can’t afford, yet I won’t look away. Her long, dark hair frames a face that draws me in. Her lips part, and I curse myself for wondering what she would taste like—I shouldn't want her, yet I do.
Victoria Galli – my best friend, until she wasn’t. What is she doing here? Her eyes are filled with a fury I can't decipher, and it seems to be directed at me.
She has no right to look at me like that. She has no right to be here, not in this world, my world. Part of me wants to reach out and explain the darkness I’ve become, but will Nica only see the monster that the rest of the world fears?
If you love The Mafia King by Rina Kent and Bound by Honor by Cora Reilly, then The Shadow King's Kiss by Raven Reeves is the perfect read for you. With a mix of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, dark mafia romance, and dual POV, the story will keep you hooked until the end. HEA/HFN

Her obsession is like a wildfire, and I’m desperately trying to shield her from the flames.

Eleanor I was never meant to be free. My father made sure of that, treating me like one of his diamonds. Precious, polished, and locked away until sold to the highest bidder—Leonardo Rossetti, the hotheaded son of the most ruthless crime family in New York. Our marriage was a business deal, nothing more. He made that clear the moment we exchanged vows. I wasn’t his wife, I was his possession. A pawn in his family’s empire. He made the rules. I broke them. I ran. I lied. I fought him at every turn. Because if he thought I would submit, he was wrong. If he thought I would fear him, he ...
