Valerius Cafarelli
In my world, we live and die for our family. We brand our skin with symbols of loyalty and rank that bind us together. It’s time to step from behind the scenes and claim my birthright, leader of the Cafarelli family. But the mafia is nothing if not set in tradition. Marriage is the only way to claim what’s rightfully mine.
When the angel I’ve protected from a distance suddenly needs me as much as I need her, I make an offer she can’t refuse.

She is a candle in the night.
She is a prayer to the gods.
She is the knife that brings me to my knees.

Adaliya Solarin
I took an oath to save lives, trying to redeem myself from a bloody night where I played judge, jury, and executioner. I worked hard to erase all traces of the night I claimed revenge, but my mind can’t forget the man who ensured I’d never be put away for my crime.

Now I need someone to help me save my father from himself. When I’m left desperate and defeated, the man who saved me once offers one last chance at survival. What can I do but make a deal with the devil?

He is the bump in the night.
He is my darkest temptations come to life.
He is my salvation.

Cusp of Darkness is book one of the Cusp series but can be read as a standalone. It has a guaranteed HEA, swoon-worthy anti-hero, and badass heroine. This is an interracial mafia romance containing explicit sex scenes, graphic violence, and is recommended for readers 18+. Please check the author’s website for the full list of content warnings on the author’s website.

Cat gives this book 5 Meows with a 4 purr heat index...

Warnings: abuse, graphic violence, torture, graphic sex

Valarius is on a job when he hears shots. Going in expecting to see another young woman murdered by a scum, he was shocked to find a beautiful woman, also in shock but over the dead man’s body. He was immediately smitten which never happens and vows to protect her.
Then 5 years later they meet again.. she is about to marry out of convenience, he out of necessity but he suggests a better pact… they marry each other.

Adaliya is about to make the worst mistake of her life. She has to marry Noah to help her father, but realizes Noah is abusive and can’t put herself in that position, and that her father is into something shady and not concerned about her. When the stranger from 5 years ago shows back up and offers her a solution by marrying him, she accepts the lesser of two evils. Or is it?

This is a series but first book. It is a very dark romance, but most mafia/ crime family books are. It’s very well written, gripping, suspenseful, page turning and has several twists with a satisfying ending. Bring on Salvatore and Naya! 

If you like Mafia books, betrayal, fair marriage, enemies to lovers, and lots of hot sex this is for you!

Olivia Preya is a romance fanatic and author living in Toronto, Canada. She writes about what she loves—love, spice, and panty-dropping men with a soft spot for the love of their lives. When life gets a little tough or bland, she finds that fictional men are the best medicine.

Olivia considers herself to have two personas, like Wonder Woman, but with a pen––corporate marketing specialist by day and spicy romance author by night. She also likes to embrace all forms of sensuality, from pole dancing and erotic novels to good food; she believes that sometimes the best things in life are a little sinful.
