The Emperor
The Emperor is the third book in a dark mafia romance series from the New York Times and international bestselling author, RuNyx.
Dark, dangerous, delicious. This instalment continues to delve into the depths of mafia lore with intensity and intrigue.
Heir to a notorious mafia clan, Dante Maroni has been trained as a weapon since birth. A silent rebel in the shadows, he has learned to hide his ruthlessness under a cloak of charm, his brutality under suits, and his obsession with one woman under silence.
Daughter of the Maroni's housekeeper, Amara has loved Dante for longer than she's known it. So when he finally notices her, nothing will break their bond.
But Amara has a secret. So dark that she almost loses the will to live. So dark that she can't share it with Dante.
The world of the mob threatens to destroy them. Can their love save them?
