Three couples. Three impossible loves. One criminal empire where the most violent thing anyone ever does is choose to stay.
The Violent Hearts Trilogy follows three couples inside and around the Greco crime family—each book a different love story, each one darker and more consuming than the last. From a basement execution witnessed by the wrong woman, to a cross-country flight with a traitor at their heels, to a forty-year war brought to its knees by the enforcer’s forbidden wife, these are stories about people built for violence who choose something terrifyingly different.
Each book stands alone. But the war builds across all three—and it ends with the city on fire and three couples refusing to break.
Book 1 — Ruthless Possession (Valentina & Dante)
“She walked into his basement on her twenty-fifth birthday. He was holding a gun still warm from the kill. She’d seen too much. He doesn’t let witnesses walk away.”
Valentina Rossi spent three years pretending her father’s world didn’t exist. An art historian with a trust fund she never questioned and a grief she couldn’t shake, she walked into Inferno looking for answers about the man she buried. She found Dante Greco—New York’s most powerful mafia don—standing over a body in his basement.
As a rival family closes in and a stalker with a camera captures their most intimate moments, Valentina discovers that the most dangerous thing about Dante isn’t his violence—it’s the way his control shatters every time he touches her.
And the most dangerous thing about herself is how much she wants him to.

Book 2 — Savage Refuge (Elena & Marco)
“She followed the numbers into the dark and found a traitor. Now the don’s brother has been sent to extract her—and the enforcer hunting her is closing in.”
Elena Cortez is a forensic accountant who followed eighteen months of wire transfers and shell companies to a devastating conclusion: someone inside the Greco family has been selling secrets. That proof just made her a target. When Antonio Ferraro—a DeLuca enforcer with an obsessive fixation—comes to silence her permanently, her only option is the man she has every reason to distrust.
Marco Greco is the don’s brother, a surveillance specialist trained to watch without being seen. He expected a frightened civilian. Instead he found a woman who analyses threats the way he catalogues them—with terrifying precision.
Every safe house is compromised. Every mile of their cross-country flight brings Ferraro closer. And when the traitor strikes with a frame job designed to destroy Elena’s credibility and Marco’s freedom, she’ll have to fight back with the only weapon she’s ever trusted: her mind.

Book 3 — Violent Devotion (Sofia & Luca) — Trilogy Finale
“Married to the enemy’s enforcer to end a forty-year war. She was supposed to spy. He was supposed to endure. Neither was supposed to fall.”
Sofia DeLuca was raised as a weapon—trained in combat, schooled in strategy, shaped into the perfect instrument of her father’s will. Traded to the Greco family in a marriage alliance, she carries one secret mission: infiltrate, report, destroy from within. Her new husband is Luca Greco, the family’s enforcer—a man built from violence and scarred by a lifetime of it. He doesn’t want a wife. He wants something to break. But Sofia matches his venom with her own and refuses to shatter.
As their marriage evolves into something neither expected, a conspiracy forty years in the making begins to surface—someone has been manipulating both families from the shadows, engineering conflicts and exploiting weaknesses.
When Sofia chooses Luca over blood loyalty, her father sends soldiers to execute her. Now the most dangerous man in New York must save the woman he loves without destroying the fragile alliance that’s their only hope of survival—and Sofia must decide whether a spy can become the leader both families need.
