About this book
Known as "The Devil" for his violent and unpredictable nature, Nic is a man who thrives in the shadows of the criminal underworld. When a desperate debtor offers up his own fiancée as payment to settle a debt, Nic accepts, viewing the woman merely as a commodity to be sold. That woman is Celia, a beautiful and haunted soul who finds herself thrust into the heart of the Diavolo crime family. What begins as a cold, transactional arrangement quickly spirals into a volatile game of power and obsession. Celia’s innate light and innocence act as a dangerous catalyst, provoking the darkness within Nic and stirring a possessive urge he cannot ignore. While he is determined to prove he is nothing but a cruel monster, Celia’s presence challenges his resolve, creating a tense, high-stakes dynamic between them. This gripping dark mafia romance masterfully utilizes the enemies-to-lovers trope to deliver an intense, angst-filled experience. As secrets unravel and the chemistry between them turns explosive, the line between hatred and dangerous attraction blurs. Be warned: this story is an emotional roller coaster that concludes on a shocking cliffhanger, leaving readers desperate for the next installment in the duet.

Image 84: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Holy FN yessssss!!!! You did not end it that way!? Are you serious!? 😳 Wow wow wow, what a freaking fantastic ride. I’ve met a lot of mafia book boyfriends who claim to be the devil, but they’re all wrong... Nic is the actual mother FN Devil!! His control is unwavering and will stop at nothing for his revenge. Even when you think he’s about to slip, he slaps you in the face and reminds you who he is. Fuuuuu I don’t know if that made him hotter or not but I have some serious case of Stockholm’s right now! His I don’t give a f* attitude will have you begging for more. No one is immune, especially Celia. I love this woman and her fighting spirit. She may have come to terms with her life long before meeting Nic, but her fight stays with her like permanent armor. Whether she is a pawn or not, she will do anything she can to gain back some control of her life. These two together are insanely combustible but fuuuuuu is all hope lost!? That ending got me tearing my hair out.... Need the next book NOW. I’m not even trying to sound like an annoying reader who wants everything right now, but omg I’m dying inside...

03 4.3 out of 5 stars](javascript:void(0))(2,531) Book 1 of 2: The Diavolo Duet Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again. See all formats and editions They call me “The Devil.” Deranged and violent. Gorgeous but frightening. I’m a businessman, so when one of my debtors offers me his fiancé in exchange for a debt settled, I figure why not? The woman will be a quick sell. Repayment comes in the form of a beautiful but haunted young woman. The light in her tempts the darkness inside of me. Teases it, tortures it. I want to hurt her. I want to break her. I want to keep her. Luckily for Celia, she fails to see that there is no goodness in me. And when she attempts to draw me in with her innocence and sweet, naïve heart, I thrive to show her the cruel monster I am. This is a dark mafia romance that contains non-con/dub con, graphic violence, and sexual themes. It is not a standalone novel and ends on a cliffhanger. ) ©2020 Beck & Hallman LLC (P)2022 Blackstone Publishing Previous slide of product details 1. Book 1 of 2 The Diavolo Duet 2.
