Born and bred to rule, I embraced my place in our family with pride.
I was the leader. The boss. The king.
Fueled by my family’s need for revenge, I was on a bloody path toward vengeance. That’s when I found her—a filthy, weak, broken girl.
The mystery that surrounded her seduced me. Her secrets pulled me down to the deepest pits of hell, the demons of her past threatening to burn the empire I swore to protect.
Now the devil himself is knocking at my door, wanting his beautiful, broken girl back.
But she’s mine now. I claimed her. And anyone who dares to take her away from me will be completely, utterly, royally…
Fucked.

Antonio Valenti was born and bred to lead the Mafia family. He exudes control over his business dealings and that of his family but he has his own dark demons to contend with. He has managed to control his past depraved darkness until an unexpected shipment arrives with a battered and naked female. This beautiful broken woman calls to his inner sadistic beast and he is not sure he can control his tormented urges, all while trying to protect his family and this damaged woman. Nessuno youth was stolen from her and she has lived in her own personal hell at the hands of those who are sinister. She recognises the monster and darkness in Antonio and yet there is something more about him. Should she fear him worse than those before him? Can she survive this new monster? Will her past come back to collect and haunt her as he promised? And how did she arrive at the hands of Antonio Valenti, the King of the Valenti family? Ms Bella J has created a story full of plot twists, suspense and so much more. I am blown away by this talented author. This story is definitely dark with some scenes that are uncomfortable to read, but necessary to understand the story. The character development is brilliant and you will have so much empathy for Nusseun/Doe. Antonio is a man that takes what he wants and controls like a King, even when he has to take revenge on those that have double-crossed him. The building climax, the suspense, mystery and angst will keep you captivated and your mind reeling. When Nessuno/Doe true identity is revealed, it just adds a whole new dimension to the story. Ms Bella J is fast becoming the queen of dark romance and I cannot wait to see where she takes us next in Mafia Queen
