Business and Pleasure (Hamartia Trilogy Book 1)

When Caterina Mari Santelli, the daughter of a prominent Mafia figure, was born, her presence seemed like a misfortune. In the world of the Italian underworld, it was taboo for their kind to associate with their bitter rivals, the Russians. As her father chose to defy tradition by marrying her Russian mother, their entire family's standing within the criminal realm became precariously balanced. Enter Lucas De Marchi, a powerful Boss hailing from an illustrious and storied Italian lineage. With a clear objective in mind, he sought to wed Caterina, believing that marriage would strip her of her cursed status. He dreamed of uniting two powerful clans someday and fulfilling another, secretive mission that lay ahead. However, Caterina was far from a helpless victim. Upon meeting Lucas and uncovering the truth about his intentions, she realized that drastic measures might be necessary. Yet, she remained uncertain about who would ultimately bear the consequences of this brewing conflict.
