Sweet Oblivion

She was called Milashka Abelli for her obedient nature. A polite smile, caring eyes—no wonder Elena became her father’s favorite daughter and the ideal “princess” of the mafia world… At least, she used to be. Right now, all she sees in the mirror are hands stained with blood, as if it were paint. Elena’s sister is planning to marry Nicolas Russo, a don of one of five mafia families in New York. Everyone has heard about his reputation, and it’s darker than his black suits. The first meeting with Nicolas leaves Elena no doubts: he is as rude as he is handsome. She doesn’t like either the man or what he represents, but it doesn’t stop her heart from beating full force—like rain on glass—when he’s near, and her skin from breaking into goosebumps at the sound of his voice. And he’s always there. He tells her what to do. He makes her body burn—and it’s nothing like what she should feel in the presence of her sister’s fiancé. Elena may be “Milashka Abelli” to others, but she’s starting to understand that she likes the darkness, the rough hands, and the whiskey-colored eyes. Escaping one scandal, she can hardly afford to get pulled into another. Besides, even if Nicolas were hers, everyone knows you shouldn’t fall in love with a mafia man…
