He calls me his Rose.

But he’s determined to see me wither away.

 

My mother kept me hidden my entire life, never hinting at the vicious crime family I was born into.

 

Or the dangerous men who were out for my head.

 

So when I finally step into the pageant stage’s bright spotlight, he’s there waiting for me.

 

Nikolai Wilder, the leader of one of the most powerful gangs on the East Coast.

 

He is violent. Cruel. Lethal. Undeniably sexy… And obsessed with the one thing that’ll grant him the ultimate revenge.

 

Me.

 

But that’ll mean bloodshed.

 

It’ll mean war.

 

And it’ll lead to my absolute destruction.

FREYA
I was raised to be a prize. Something to be traded for the right price.
I didn’t have a choice, but I guess it comes with the territory of being the daughter of a mafia king. I’ve always longed for more, though.
A life without chaos and blackmail. One where I don’t have to worry if my lover will be murdered at the hands of the enemy, and I can just fade into the background.
But when Kian drifts into the picture, I consider abandoning that dream.
He shouldn’t like me, and he’s never wanted a relationship before, but he makes me feel things I never have. He speaks to my heart in a way only a lover can.
For so long, I’ve fought for normal, but now Kian is fighting for me, and I’m not sure I can say no.
 
KIAN
She’s everything I never knew I wanted–empathetic, compassionate, and knows what she wants. The complete opposite of someone who has been brought up in a world of crime.
She isn’t hardened or heartless. She’s soft and delicate, but the life I live isn’t one she wants to be part of.
Although she doesn’t like it, she’s no stranger to combat. I’ve fought for the things I want my entire life, and she’ll be no exception.
I’ll make her see she can’t deny me or the chemistry we have. That we are worth fighting for.
Freya Doughty will be mine.
Does all that sound okay?

Title: Depraved Royals
Author: Cara Bianchi
Genre: Dark Mafia Romance / Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: October 25, 2022
Cover Design: @wonderlandcovers
I’m stranded and in trouble when a chance encounter leads to a night of ecstasy with a stranger. A man with icy blue eyes and hands that work devilish magic on my body.
 
When I find out who he is, I run like hell.
 
Kal Antonov, the son of my father’s nemesis. His name alone is the stuff of nightmares.
 
I’ve been warned to keep away from him and his toxic family, and that suits me just fine. I may be a Bratva princess, but I don’t let it define me.
 
But then Kal crashes back into my life, and I’m drawn like a moth to a flame.
 
His lips speak pretty lies.
His heart holds dark secrets.
 
Enslaved by a legacy he cannot escape, he’s a twisted, beautiful mess. But try as I might, I can’t walk away.
 
He set my soul on fire, and the pain makes me feel alive.
 
Can I put out the flames?
 
And what will become of our baby?

“This is an amazing read that will blow your mind.”

“Yup. Cara has nailed this one!”

“This is a well-written story that is dark, raw, gritty, and emotionally charged, with challenges, secrets, lies, revenge, angst, devotion, and love, which leads to a steamy and mind-blowing addictive page-turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.”

Reading romance has always been my escape. A different world I can run to when real life gets to be too much. And when I find out my father drank away all the money I’ve inherited and saved, it’s those same romance novels that give me an idea.
I need cash, and I need it fast.
Luckily for me, I have something I know people would pay for.
My virginity.
There’s only one problem…
Declan, the owner of the club where the auction will be held, won’t let me participate until I know what my limits are and what I like.
Feeling like time is running out, I ask him to teach me while still keeping my innocence intact.
It’s a business agreement and nothing else, but his dark, broody expressions and sexy cocky grin are starting to melt all the walls I’ve put in place to remain as professional as possible.
He can’t win me, which means another man will, and I have to protect my heart.
This isn’t a fairy tale, and there is no happily ever after in our future.
Or is there?
Author Note – This is a dark mafia romance with scenes that may be triggering for some people. If you want to know more please contact emmalunaauthor@gmail.com. This book is intended for readers over the age of eighteen, as it features scenes of a very sexual nature, including some mild BDSM themes.

“​Emma Luna definitely knows how to masterfully create a killer story that grabs you right from the start and doesn’t let go. Black Wedding is just the perfect dark mafia kidnapped romance story you’ve been looking for.”

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴?
My name is Liam Doughty and I’m a hit man.
All I wanted was to get what I was owed. I carried out the hit as I was hired to do by Irish Mob boss, Vernon O’Keenan. It’s not my fault they found out too late that they had the wrong man. All I wanted was my money. I thought I could kidnap the Mafia Princess Brianna O’Keenan and get the ransom money. What I got was so much more!
Ruthless, feisty, and incredibly sexy, she’s far from the timid daddy’s girl I was expecting. Bree has her own agenda. She wants to dominate in a world ruled by men. I have no doubt she can do it, but she will need my help. Her family rules state only males can run the business. So, Bree proposes we get married. She gets to rule, and I get more money than I ever dreamed of.
Two dark, evil worlds collide when we agree to our black wedding. We will fight each others enemies and come out on top. But what happens if we develop real feelings and we realise our wedding wasn’t all that black?
