Sinful Bargains: Sins of the Father Book 1 (Sins of the Father: Historical Mafia Romance Series) by Zara Jade Astrid

After a decade in Rikers Island, Joey “The Shark” Romano is back, and he’s ready to reclaim the empire that was stolen from him. By day, he runs a luxury car business. By night, he’s the most feared loanshark on the East Coast, newly restored as Capo of the Giordano Crime Family. Adriana Bianchi is running from a husband she thought she killed and a past that refuses to stay buried. All she wants is safety for her teenage son, Antonio. The last thing she needs is a powerful man offering protection at a price she doesn’t understand. But Staten Island has its own rules. When violence erupts, and a single gunshot changes everything, Joey must uncover the betrayal that sent him to prison and the shooter hiding closer than he ever imagined. In a world ruled by loyalty and blood, love may be the most dangerous gamble of all. For readers drawn to the dark glamour of Peaky Blinders, the legacy-driven tension of The Godfather, and the raw coming-of-age conflict of A Bronx Tale. Read more
