I hungered to be seen.
There were three things I knew about Capo
Macchiavello:
He was gorgeous.
He was reclusive.
He was considered one of New York’s most savage
animals.
And he wanted me as his wife. A simple arrangement – you
do for me, I do for you. Nothing owed, no expectations. Except for one: never
leave.
Life was never that simple, though. By the age of
twenty-one, I was parentless, jobless, and homeless, and I had come to learn
the hard way that nothing was ever free. Even kindness comes with
strings.
Capo might’ve been the only man to ever see me, but I
had made a vow to myself: I would never owe anyone anything. Most of all, the
man I called boss.
I killed to stay
hidden.
Mariposa Flores thought she owed nothing to no one, but
she owed everything…to me, the ghost the world had once called The
Machiavellian Prince of New York.
Machiavellian is the first of three books
set in the savage world of the Gangsters of New York
series.

I don't know what it is about mob romance stories but they always hook me in right from the beginning. She was his butterfly and he was her boss. She knows he is in the wrong business but he also owns the restaurant she has always stared through the windows. When they get married in Italy to meet his family she is in for a shock to how much she loves them. Especially his grandfather. They share a bond over his garden. I can not wait for more books for this series although they are about different characters but I am hoping that they still will include these 2.

Author Bio:
Bella Di Corte has been writing romance for seven years,
even longer if you count the stories in her head that were never written down,
but she didn’t realize how much she enjoyed writing alphas until recently.
Tough guys who walk the line between irredeemable and savable, and the strong
women who force them to feel, inspire her to keep putting words to the
page.
Apart from writing, Bella loves to spend time with her
husband, daughter, and family. She also loves to read, listen to music, cook
meals that were passed down to her, and take photographs. She mostly takes
pictures of her family (when they let her) and her three dogs.
Bella grew up in New Orleans, a place she considers a
creative playground.
She loves to connect with readers, so don’t hesitate to
email her at belladicorte@gmail.com if you’d like to reach out.
