Property of the Camorra: A Dark Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance
My father sold me to a monster to settle a debt. Now, I belong to the Butcher.
LIVIA
I was the currency in a transaction I never agreed to. My father, a washed-up Capo with a gambling addiction, ran out of money and luck. When the sharks came circling, he didn't offer them cash. He offered me.
I thought I was being sold to traffickers. I thought my life was over. Then he walked in. Viero Calvi. The Butcher of Brooklyn. A man with eyes like shattered glass and a face scarred by violence. He paid the two million dollars without blinking. He signed the contract. He took me home.
Now I am a prisoner in his fortress of stone and ice. He tells me I am an asset. He tells me to stay in my room. He treats me with a cold, terrifying indifference that cuts deeper than any blade. But sometimes, when he thinks I’m not looking, I see something else in his gaze. I see a hunger that terrifies me—and a ghost of a promise I don’t understand.
I should hate him. I should run. But when my father’s enemies come for us, Viero is the only thing standing between me and the grave. And I’m starting to realize that the safest place in the world might be in the arms of the monster who owns me.
VIERO
Fifteen years ago, I made a vow to a dying woman. I promised I would keep the wolf from the door. I failed. The wolf was already inside the house. Enrico De Santis isn't a father; he’s a disease. When I found out he was selling Livia to the Albanians, I didn't ask for permission. I bought the debt.
She thinks she’s my prisoner. She thinks I’m the villain of her story. Good. Let her hate me. Hate is safer than the truth. If she knew why I really brought her here, it would break her. If she knew I’ve been watching her for years, protecting her from the shadows, she would run.
I told myself I wouldn't touch her. I told myself she was just a debt to be cleared. But then she looked at me with those hazel eyes, defiant and broken, and the ice around my heart shattered. Now, the city is burning, and the sharks are circling. Let them come. They think they can take her? They think they can touch what is mine? I will paint the streets red before I let them hurt a hair on her head.
Property of the Camorra is a standalone Dark Mafia Romance. It features a scarred, possessive anti-hero, a resilient heroine, and high-heat scenes. Expect violence, "touch her and die" energy, and a guaranteed HEA.

The writing was average though there were two plot errors that really annoyed me.
On page 283, it said
“He wanted to resurrect Enrico just so he could kill him with his bare hands all over again.”
Which would indicate Enrico was dead before this page but I didn’t recall reading it so I was a bit confused by this. I kept reading thinking I had missed something only to read that 20ish pages later and beyond, Enrico is very much alive. I ended up wasting time going back through trying to make sense of it. So why would he be thinking about resurrecting Enrico to kill him *again* if he wasn’t dead?
Then, further ahead at the end of a chapter, on P341 it says she walked into the house:
“She reached for the door. It was unlocked. It was always unlocked… Livia pushed the door open and stepped inside, into the lion's den, armed with nothing but a broken heart and a stolen locket.”
The next chapter is about Viero. Yet the very next chapter after that, on p 356, just 15 pages later it says
“She reached the porch. The wood groaned under her weight, ... She didn't have a key. She hadn't had a key in years; Enrico usually lost them or changed the locks in fits of paranoia. She hammered on the door with her fist. Bang. Bang. Bang. "Papa! Open the door! It's me!" The wind snatched her voice away. She pounded harder, her knuckles bruising against the wood… the door cracked open. A slice of yellow light fell across Livia’s face. She squinted against the glare. Enrico De Santis stood in the gap.”
So one minute the door is always unlocked and she enters the house on her own but the next she is banging on the door for her father to open it, presumably locked because of Enrico’s paranoia? Again, I had to scroll back to see if I had somehow missed something.
These might be minor things for some but for me when you are confused because you think you’ve missed something and you have to scroll back up to figure it out, only to find it’s not you, but the writing, it disrupts the flow of the story.

Fantastic
I enjoyed this book very much. Perfect amount of spice and action. Not over done like similar plots. Big fan of how everything played out.
