She was collateral for a debt.
He was the executioner sent to collect.
But what happens when possession turns to passion-and passion becomes a dangerous obsession?

Bertha Klein had plans for her life-plans that never included being stolen away by a ruthless Mafia boss. But when her father's betrayal delivers her into the hands of Antonio Costa, the cold, commanding heir to the deadly Costa crime family, her world shatters in a heartbeat.

Antonio doesn't believe in love. He believes in control. Loyalty. Blood.
But Bertha is a storm he never saw coming.
She challenges him. Defies him. Drives him mad with desire.
And as the lines between captor and protector blur, Antonio must choose: his empire... or the woman who just might bring it all down.

This isn't your typical love story. It's a dark, addictive, and unforgettable tale of enemies-to-lovers, filled with raw emotion, explosive chemistry, and a bond forged in the fire of betrayal and desire.

Written by Virginah Deinma, one of the most compelling new voices in Mafia romance, A Brutal Obsession delivers page after page of tension, twists, and heat. Fans of Cora Reilly, J.L. Beck, and Sophie Lark will devour this gripping ride from beginning to end.
