A shattered mafia princess running from a monster.

Alexia
To the outside world, I was the perfect mafia princess—flawless, privileged, and untouchable. But behind closed doors, my life was a waking nightmare. My wedding night revealed the brutal reality of my marriage to Igor, the Bratva’s most sadistic kingpin.
For years, I endured his cruelty, each day worse than the last. But now, I’ve uncovered a secret so dangerous it could bring him to his knees. And Igor will kill anyone who threatens to expose him—even my daughter. Desperate and hunted, I turned to the only man who ever made me feel safe, the one I vowed never to trust again.
Dave Boyle. My first love. My salvation. My last hope.
Dave
I’ve buried my past, my weakness, and my heart behind the power of the Irish Brotherhood and the Syndicate. But Alexia—beautiful, defiant Alexia—was the one I could never forget. When she chose Igor over me, I swore to shut her out forever.
Until her call shattered my resolve.
Now, she’s under my protection, but saving her means going to war with Igor—a man who thrives on bloodshed and chaos. The deeper I get, the more I realize I don’t just want her safety. I want her. Body and soul. But to claim her, I’ll have to risk everything.
In this world of ruthless men and deadly secrets, love isn’t a weakness—it’s a weapon.
And some hearts are too dangerous to tame.
Perfect for fans of Haunting Adeline and Twisted Games, Taming a Ruthless Heart is a scorching, high-stakes dark mafia romance filled with explosive chemistry, jaw-dropping twists, and the ultimate fight for love and survival.
Warning: This book contains mature themes, graphic violence, and a tortured hero willing to burn the world for the woman he loves. Recommended for readers 18+.
