The Bad Boys Crush (Mafia)

Luca Moretti is everything you're warned to stay away from: a notorious bad boy with ties to the darkest corners of the mafia world. Cold, calculated, and ruthless, he has no time for emotions or attachments-until he meets Lena Carter, the one woman who makes him question everything.

Lena has always lived in the shadows of her family's success, a quiet, unassuming woman who works hard to escape the drama of her notorious relatives. That is, until her life is upended when she accidentally crosses paths with Luca at a high-society event-an encounter that leaves her breathless, confused, and somehow intrigued. She has heard the rumors about him-how he's dangerous, a player with a history of heartbreak and violence-but something in his gaze tells her there's more to the story.

As the two begin a slow-burning attraction, Luca is determined to keep his distance, telling himself that Lena is off-limits, a girl who could never survive in his world of blood and betrayal. But Lena isn't as innocent as she seems. Drawn to Luca's intensity and the danger that seems to follow him like a shadow, she can't deny the chemistry between them.

However, the more they get tangled up in each other's lives, the more dangerous their connection becomes. Luca's enemies, once distant threats, start to close in, putting both their lives at risk. And as Lena grows closer to Luca, she starts to uncover the truth about the man he's been hiding behind-the broken, vulnerable soul that he's spent years hiding from the world.

In the world of mafia crime and power, there's no room for love-only manipulation, loyalty, and betrayal. But Lena doesn't care about the rules, and Luca is no longer the cold, untouchable man he once was. As secrets are exposed, and their passion for each other intensifies, they must confront the harsh realities of their dangerous world.
