USA Today Bestselling Author, Dani René, brings you a brand new dark, sordid world of why choose romances. This series takes place on the infamous Black Hollow Isle.
 
Danger. Deceit. Death.
 
I was promised to the leader of the Lawless Princes. I don’t have a choice, obeying their rules will keep me alive. But they hold a secret that could bring their perfectly glimmering world crashing down.
 
As much as I hate them, Judah, Valen, and Malachi are now my protectors.
 
But there is no happy ever after in this life.
 
The Princes will soon become Kings, but not before they learn what the title means.
 
 
 
 
“You look good on your knees,” he tells me nonchalantly as he steps back and takes me in fully. I shift to my feet, standing to my full height before he gets any other ideas. “The next time I find you wandering around where you shouldn’t be, I will make sure you regret every moment of your spying.”

Title: The Machiavellian Prince

Author: Bella Di Corte
Genre: Mafia Romance/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: June 16, 2023
Cover Design: Najla Qamber


For as long as I could remember, Saverio Macchiavello had been a part of my life.
He was the son of the Machiavellian King of New York, and I was considered Italian royalty—a princess in the infamous Fausti family. Our families had been friends since before I was born.
A connection existed between us that wasn’t normal. It was the strongest thing I’d ever felt. It tethered me to him whether I wanted it to or not. One of us couldn’t seem to exist without the other. It was the same sort of epic love my parents had.
I was terrified of it. Because being a part of the Fausti famiglia meant danger always lurked in the shadows. And as a top soldier for my family, and my personal bodyguard, Saverio would die to see me safe.
And someone wanted me dead.

Blurb:

I’ve weathered the storms.

Now, it’s my time to bloom.

 

I came too close to losing Nikolai, and it almost destroyed me.

 

I’m not sure why, but it’s getting harder to hate him every day. Something is blossoming between us—something more than lust—and it scares me. It’s more powerful, more magnetic than I can explain, and that makes it dangerous.

For both of us.

 

To make matters worse, Nikolai’s driven by more than revenge now. He still wants to kill my father and rule over the coast, but with our enemies closing in, he’s just as determined to keep me safe.

 

He says he’ll do whatever it takes, even if that means making me his forever.

To save my life, I may have to let the man who ruined my life into my heart. But how can a rose bloom when surrounded by so much darkness?

As the boss over Texas Creek Mafia. Jackson is a take no prisoner kind of man. One that has no problem pulling the trigger, then simply sitting down for a family dinner.
His world is one of order and control. But when a beautiful woman stumbles through his door literally landing at his feet, he finds himself in an unfamiliar situation.

Jackson stood naked staring out over the land. His legs spread with one large hand pressed against the bullet proof tinted glass. The woman at his feet was business. A mere distraction at best. It didn’t mean he minded the small moans that slipped past her lips. Running his hand over her head as she sucked his c**k. His rhythm kept a slow pace as he continued to watch the pump jacks pulling oil up from beneath the ground and realized he was bored.

Growing up as the youngest Doughty meant missing out on a normal life.
 
I didn’t want the life I was dealt, but I also felt I had no choice except to embrace my legacy. My family had targets placed on their backs, simply because of our name and the power we held, so I knew I had to be ready for anything that came my way.
 
Being sent to boarding school was a way to protect me—and get me away from the very life I didn’t want—but it also brought me something else.
 
Shane.
 
My brothers took him in, and I chased away the nightmares that came with his tortured past, ignoring the burning desire I knew was there, because I didn’t want to ruin our fast-found friendship.
 
Now though? He’s severed the very bond I tried so hard to protect in the most brutal betrayal.
 
He went from being my best friend to my enemy, and now I want answers.

Excerpts from Brutal Savior: Merciless Few MC: Chicago Illinois

Excerpt #1 (19 Words)

I try to convince myself my brother-in-law that killed my husband and raped me is not outside my door.

Excerpt #2 (22 words) 

“It’ll always be me.” Ethan talks to me, taking me into his arms and kisses me with all the passion he has.”

Excerpt #3 (13 words)

She sees me as their savior in her story instead I’m the villain.

Excerpt #4 (44 words)

“Get on your knees.” He says, with a matter-of-fact tone which contradicts the look of maliciousness and evilness on his face.  His hand presses hard on my shoulder, the touch makes me shudder. “Or I will sell your daughter.  Your choice.”
