Moretti Brothers Series

MORETTI BROTHERS SERIES

Dark Mafia Captive Romance

3-Book Series • Chicago, Illinois • 80,000–100,000 Words Each • HEA in Book 3

Three brothers. Three captives. Three women who refused to stay broken.

 

The Moretti family doesn’t just rule Chicago’s underworld—they were forged in it. Three brothers, bound by blood and violence, each raised to protect the empire at any cost. But when war erupts with the Salvatore family, it’s not bullets that change everything—it’s the women they never expected.

One is a debt. One is a hostage. One is the enemy’s daughter. Each was supposed to be a pawn. None of them played the role they were given.

From an enforcer who breaks his own code for the woman handed to him as payment, to a strategist undone by the forensic accountant he captured, to a ghost who learns to feel again because of the mafia princess who was never really his to take—this is a series about men who were never taught how to love and the women who made them learn.

Three captive romances. Three women who change everything. One family forged in violence and healed—impossibly, improbably—by love.

 

Book 1 — Bound in Sin (Sofia & Dominic)

“She was payment for her father’s sins. He made her his.”

Sofia Romano was handed over to the Moretti family like currency—her father’s debt made flesh. She expected a cage. She didn’t expect Dominic Moretti—the eldest brother, the enforcer, the one they send when a message needs to be written in bone. He’s cold, brutal, and code-bound. He doesn’t want a woman in his house. He doesn’t want the complication, the vulnerability, or the way she looks at him like she’s already figured out the parts of him he keeps locked away.

But Sofia doesn’t cower. She adapts. She watches. And she starts to see the fractures in his armour—the guilt he carries, the brother he’s trying to protect, the war he’s losing from the inside out.

When a rival family’s vendetta puts Sofia in the crosshairs, Dominic discovers that the woman he swore he’d never care about is the only thing he’d burn the world to keep. And Sofia must decide whether the man who bought her freedom with blood is the monster she was warned about—or the only person who’s ever fought for her.

Book 2 — Captive Lies (Elena & Luca)

“He captured a forensic accountant. She dismantled his entire world.”

Elena Ricci is one of the FBI’s sharpest forensic accountants—brilliant, underestimated, and tired of watching her work disappear into bureaucratic black holes. When she’s taken captive by the Moretti family, she expects threats. She doesn’t expect Luca Moretti to hand her a laptop and ask for her help. Luca is the family’s strategist—a man who thinks in probabilities, plays three moves ahead, and has never let emotion compromise an outcome. He needs Elena’s forensic skills to dismantle the Salvatore financial network. She’s an asset. A weapon. A variable he can control.

Except Elena doesn’t submit. She negotiates. And when their late-night sessions over financial data become something far more dangerous than strategy, Luca discovers that the most brilliant mind he’s ever encountered is also the only person who’s ever cracked him open.

Then Elena discovers she’s pregnant—and the father isn’t Luca. It’s a dead man with ties to the very family they’re trying to destroy. With a corrupt federal system closing in and a marriage that starts as legal strategy and becomes the truest thing she’s ever chosen, Elena must decide how far she’ll go to protect the family she never expected to love.

Book 3 — Ruthless Devotion (Gianna & Marco)

“The monster’s daughter. The ghost who became human for her.”

Gianna Salvatore is the perfect mafia princess—poised, obedient, and devastating in Valentino. She smiles when expected, speaks when spoken to, and has been quietly cataloguing every exit in every room since she was old enough to understand what her father really is. She’s been planning her escape her entire life. She just never expected it to arrive in the form of a ghost.

Marco Moretti is the youngest of three brothers and the most dangerous. A childhood fire turned him into a weapon—an operative who moves through the world without leaving a trace. He doesn’t feel. He doesn’t want. He doesn’t remember the boy who once dreamed of building things instead of destroying them. Then Gianna looks at him and sees everything he’s buried.

Three months ago, they shared one anonymous night in Lincoln Park—two strangers who made each other feel alive. Now Marco has taken Gianna from a gala to use as leverage against her father, and neither of them can pretend they’re strangers anymore. Not when she’s carrying his child. Not when her father’s madness is escalating.

The only way to end the war between their families is for the daughter to testify against the father—and for the ghost to become human enough to fight for something worth living for.
