Dulce uitare (vol. 1seria MADE – Capo dei capi)

Elena Abelli feels drawn to the man her sister will marry. Her family belongs to New York’s Mafia. They know her as Dolce Abelli, their kind, dutiful daughter. She has learned to smile and charm those around her. But a recent scandal has shaken that image. Now she sees herself as someone with blood on her hands.

Her sister’s planned husband, Nicolas Russo, is a powerful Mafia boss. Even in that world, he has a name for deceit. Elena dislikes him and the rules he lives by. Yet their first meeting sparks a desire neither can explain. His frequent presence makes her feelings harder to resist. His rough hands, cigarettes, and whisky-coloured eyes draw her closer. She finds herself drawn to the darkness she once opposed.

This Mafia romance explores desire at odds with family ties. Elena cannot risk another scandal, least of all with her sister’s future husband. Loving a man with his power brings further danger. Danielle Lori’s novel opens the Made series and centres on this forbidden bond.
