Condemned to Love A Stand-Alone Dark Mafia Romance

Siobhan Davis — 2021

A new stand-alone dark mafia romance from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis. Her teen crush is now a ruthless killer and powerful mafia heir. Will one life-altering night unite or destroy them? Bennett Mazzone grew up ignorant of the truth: he is the illegitimate son of the most powerful mafia boss in New York. Until it suited his father to drag him into a world where power, wealth, violence, and cruelty are the only currency. Celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Sin City should be fun for Sierra Lawson, but events take a deadly turn when she ends up in a private club, surrounded by dangerous men who always get what they want. And they want her. Ben can't believe his ex's little sister is all grown up, stunningly beautiful, and close to being devoured by some of the most ruthless men he has ever known. The Vegas trip is about strengthening ties, but he won't allow his associates to ruin her perfection. Although it comes at a high price, saving Sierra is his only choice. The memory of Ben's hands on her body is seared into Sierra's flesh for eternity. She doesn't regret that night. Not even when she discovers the guy she was crushing on as a teenager is a cold, calculating killer with dark impulses and lethal enemies who want him dead. Understanding the risks, she walks away from the only man she will ever love, stowing her secrets securely in her heart. Until the truth becomes leverage and Sierra is drawn into a bloody war--a pawn in a vicious game she doesn't want to play. As the web of deceit is finally revealed, Ben will stop at nothing to protect Sierra. Even if loving her makes him weak. In a world where women serve a sole purpose, and alliances mean the difference between life and death, can he fight for love and win? This is a full-length STAND-ALONE 145k-word novel with NO cliff-hanger and a HEA. For romance readers who enjoy age-gap, sister's ex, second chance, dark mafia romance.

I actually enjoyed this mafia book. Good plot, chemistry and plot twists. Sierra actually had a personality, independence and fierceness on her. Also fuck whoever wronged and treated Sierra badly.

“Being back in Chicago and being around Sierra again has brought a lot of memories and emotions to the surface. I’ve spent so long not thinking about my past, trying to forget about Vegas, and focusing on building the business and taking care of my father that I don’t know how to deal with this. I’m not sure I’m equipped to handle the onslaught of things I’m feeling.” Bennet Carver Mazzone. Carver was his past; Mazzone was his legacy. Heir to the New York Outfit. Ruthless. All work and no play. He doesn’t show mercy, nor does he show emotion. It’s a sign of weakness, and with that birth-write, he went all in and paved the way to a different future for his family. Sierra. The black sheep of the family. The free spirit. The girl who loved to express herself through art, and loved effortlessly through others. She was dealt the cards of life and no matter the circumstances, she always dusted herself off and stood the ground she walked on. “Condemned to Love,” by Siobhan Davis is a dark mafia romance. It is a second chance, age-gap romance and it surrounds the unlikely pairing of Sierra and Ben. They were acquainted when Sierra was 13 years old. Ben disappeared for 8 years, and when Sierra finds herself in a horrifying position - they are brought together for a night they never forgot. It left Sierra thinking about a different future - and Ben only focusing on his work. They were both left unfulfilled romantically, and once they are thrust back into each other’s lives 6 years later, secrets come out and their lives are irrevocably changed forever. This book was full of some plot twists that I didn’t see coming, and full of action, steam and emotions running high. Overall it was a great read and I binged it in one sitting! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
