The Bastard's Betrayal by Katee Robert
5.0
[ second read ]
After being summoned by her parents, Rose Romanov—the heir to the Russian mafia—learns that the man she's been secretly dating for the last few months is the "attack dog" of the Verducci clan—the Italian mafia of LA—and not the sweet bartender known as Jackson Smith.
And while the Romanov's don't have a direct conflict with the Verducci clan, their alliance with the Capparelli family—the Italian mafia of NYC—is now under threat after Rose's relationship with Jackson Smith Dante Verducci.

Rose straightened. “I know I fucked up, but it’s not like Romeo Capparelli realized there was a Verducci in his territory, either. This isn’t solely on me.”
“You’re fucking his enemy.” Trust Papa to cut to the chase. “He’s taking it personally.” Damn it. She really had fucked this up.
She tried to slow down, tried to think, but in Romeo’s situation, she’d do something similar. There was no denying the insult.
Her job now? To get rid of her NOW ex boyfriend and marry Romeo Capparelli to strengthen their alliance... buuUuTt Dante isn't having any of it 😏
“Dante Verducci.” The name felt strange on her tongue. Wrong. “I don’t know what you were trying to accomplish, but it ends now.” His gaze flicked to the gun in her hands.
“You really think you’re going to shoot me? You were coming around my cock twenty-four hours ago.”
So he just... makes an appearance at her wedding... *cue the forced proximity and the... kid 🙄 nap... ping 🤫*
“It’s bad luck to kill a bride right before her wedding.” Dante laughed. “I’m not going to kill you, Rosa. I’m going to claim what’s mine.”
For all the dark romance readers, you'll love it! (hopefully lol because I did)
