The Sweetest Oblivion (Made Vol. 1)

She`s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds . . .Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She`s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa . . . or was.Now, all she can see in the mirror`s reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint.They say first impressions are everything . . .In the murky waters of New York`s underworld, Elena`s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat - even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elena`s first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he`s just as rude as he is handsome.She doesn`t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn`t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he`s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.And he`s always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she`s beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another.Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don`t fall in love with a Made Man . . . right?This is a standalone forbidden romance.
