Cristiano Vendetti, I wear the name proudly. I’m Italian royalty, damn near untouchable. The crux of being Vendetti, is The Empire. A family of my stature has certain obligations. One of them practically archaic, as our betrothals are decided for us. Whatever to benefit the famiglia, right? I’m mafioso, trained to do as I’m told on all accounts. I’m rewarded with Arianna, as she’s always been my choice. The woman is more of a curse in my case, as I’m already a married man. While mistresses are a common occurrence in the life, Ari is dead set on making me struggle for breaking her heart. There’s also the problem of Sofia, my wife. Do I kill her and be done with it, or give her to my brothers?

Empire - They're the Vendetti crime famiglia, the most powerful mafia name in New York... Matteo Vendetti is a man who gets what he wants. As heir to the Vendetti Empire and the Capo dei capi's throne, he's only required to do one thing. He must get married to prove that he's matured and is stable enough to take over. The stipulation doesn't sound like much of a challenge until he realizes who his betrothed is. Violet's the Bottaro princess, not just a random woman he met by chance in another country. She's young-too young by his standards. She's headstrong-a problem for a dominant man like Matteo. She's desirable-the biggest issue of all. Before long, Matteo's questioning himself, wondering if Violet's really such a burden, or if just maybe, he's falling in love with something other than the Empire. Queen - Violet Vendetti was the Bottaro princess-- was. She'd been betrothed to the Capo dei capi of New York, without ever knowing it. A deal made, is a deal kept, as far as the Vendetti Crime family is concerned. No matter that it was her father to plead for her safety offering up her hand in marriage amongst other promises. The Capo always comes to collect what is owed. Violet is swept away into a world she thought she knew, only to discover everything isn't what it may seem. From family traditions to deals struck, she learns exactly what it takes to be the Vendetti queen. Seven - Cristiano Vendetti, I wear the name proudly. I'm Italian royalty, damn near untouchable.

Rejected and pushed away. My life was forever changed when Violet Bottaro stepped through the front door. I fell hard, enraptured with her mere existence, but she wasn’t mine. Not only was she betrothed to my brother, she willingly chose him over me. Heartbroken and alone. I was sent to Chicago to take care of business. I’m to make this city bow down to the Vendetti name. With a shattered heart and a demeanor cold as ice, I’ll make the streets quake with my presence. My prey can run and hide all they want, in the end I always come to collect. Imagine my surprise when I find a hidden treasure. A woman that no one knows exists, yet has the power to change the game. I’ll steal her away, hide her until the time is right and use her to complete my mission. Only the Capo has other plans, and I have no choice but to give in and offer my hand. The Empire owns me, but now it will own her as well.

In a life surrounded by enemies, famiglia is everything. I’d do anything for mine, which makes me the perfect soldier in our underground world. The Empire was built on blood and strength, and the Vendetti name reigns supreme. However, the hits from the Irish keep coming and our capo is forced to make some tough decisions. One of us is to be the next sacrifice, an honor bestowed to make the famiglia stronger. So why does my chest hurt so badly at the thought of it being me? I knew I would have to pay the price and do my duty eventually, but one look at her beauty and my heart sinks. She’s not the one for me, and I know I’m not ready to lose my freedom. When she’s given to my brother, my world tilts for another reason. He’s my best friend, my freedom, and through him, we share everything. EVEN HER. (The Vendetti Soldier can be read as a standalone, but why? Check out the others too! They're deliciously dark & twisted in the best ways. Contains MF/MFM/MMF/MM/MMFM/dub/edging/voyer/stuffing/bred/dominate & much more. If you can't handle books outside the typical box, this one isn't for you)

The Empire has been my legacy since birth and I’ve devoted my entire life to being the optimal soldier. I paid my dues while my father was the Capo, and then again when I took my place at the top. A strong bloodline is everything to a Vendetti and I believed I had it all with my seven sons. Fate had other plans, leaving me cold and alone. Lost without a purpose, I eventually meet Kaira. She turns my world upside down, and for the second time in my life I find myself exchanging vows. With a renewed outlook on life, I refuse to be the reason another wife of mine dies. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her and my eighth heir.
