I saved his life. Now he owns mine.
I’ve lived my whole life in a golden cage, the captive daughter of a powerful mafia don. When my father arranges my marriage to Vincenzo Vici, a cold-blooded assassin from a rival family, it’s a death sentence. For both of us. Because my father uses our engagement to slaughter the Vicis and take their territory.
But he makes a grave error. He doesn’t kill the most dangerous Vici of all: Vincenzo himself.
I’ve never met my intended fiancé, so when I stumble upon a handsome, bloodied stranger being tortured in a laundromat in the middle of the night, I follow my instincts and save his life.
Big mistake. The man I saved is Vincenzo Vici, and when he discovers I’m the woman who led his family to slaughter, I realize there are circles of hell my father never showed me.
Vincenzo should kill me. He wants to kill me. Instead, he decides to make me pay in a different way—by holding me to our arranged marriage and exacting his revenge on me.
But Vincenzo isn’t the monster I expected. His ruthless kisses light up my soul. His darkness is a dangerous addiction. And when my father hands me poison and orders me to finish what he started, I’m caught between two impossible choices: loyalty to my own blood, or devotion to the darkness that sets me free.
Author’s note: Cruel Savior is a standalone MF arranged marriage mafia romance with a virgin heroine and a possessive and obsessed alphahole. There is no cheating and no other women. The story is dark, dirty, and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

This was a dark mafia story, action-packed from beginning to end, and featured morally gray characters that fascinated the reader. This is a first-time author for me, glad to have discovered a new series, and I can't wait to see what happens next, as I am already loving its characters.
Vincenzo and Adora's first encounter was like something out of a horror movie, yet it managed to make you smile. Vincenzo was dark, dangerous, and sexy, and despite being a hired killer, he had boundaries he would not cross. He was a complex character with many layers, and getting to know the man beneath them was incredibly intriguing and captivating.
The unconventional romance between Vincenzo and Adora was interesting, exciting, and suspenseful. I found myself rooting for them as a couple. Adora may appear meek, but she is clever, determined, and fierce when necessary. Vincenzo's nickname for Adora, "Doe," added a sweet touch to their relationship.
The characters were well-developed, and the villains played their roles perfectly. Adora's father was a despicable character, and karma was wished upon him.
The Vincenzo family was portrayed wonderfully, with Sophia standing out as the glue that held them together. The stories shared around the dinner table about the women of the family added depth to the narrative.
This gripping tale was filled with secrets coming to light, revenge unfolding, and unexpected twists and turns. The chemistry between Vinicenzo and Adora was intense, and watching Adora grow and reclaim her power was empowering. This mafia romance had all the elements you would expect and was thoroughly enjoyable.
