Description

Rebecca Johnpee bursts onto the dark romance scene with The Wicked—where a mafia and heist romance collide in a scorchingly intense and unforgettable tale.

Elio
They call me "The Wicked."

I've earned that name with blood, silence, and the weight of every secret I carry. As head of the Marino Family, nothing slips past me. Not lies. Not weakness. Not fear. But when she enters my world... everything tilts.

Zahra
I'm dangerous—and I've had to be.

I grew up with men who treated bullets like sugar cubes. I've risen from the streets to create the most notorious gang of thieves in the country. But after a job goes wrong, my crew and I are held captive by The Wicked, and I'll do just about anything to take advantage of it. Even if it means working with The Wicked and pulling off the biggest heist I've ever dreamed of.

I'm dancing with the devil, and the cost might be my body—my very soul. But I'm willing to pay the price if it means I get him...

The Wicked is a slow burn mafia meets heist romance that explores darker themes, subjects, and scenes that may not be suitable for everyone. Please see the author's content note at the beginning of the book.

The Wicked features:

Enemies to lovers
Forced proximity
Who did this to you?
Touch her/him and die
Morally gray MMCs
Blackmail
Revenge
