When Shadows Claim Us

When Shadows Claim Us is a dark mafia romance about obsession, betrayal, and a love that was never meant to survive. Nicola is the youngest of triplets—and the most dangerous weapon of the Cosa Nostra. Feared in underground fighting rings and ruthless in family business, he is a man forged by blood, loyalty, and violence. Tattoos and scars mark his body, but it's his cold green eyes that warn the world to stay away. Until Bianca doesn't. An orphan with pink hair, sharp wit, and a fearless stare, Bianca is a nurse working in a clandestine hospital where criminals go to disappear. When Nicola is brought in bleeding and close to death, their collision ignites something neither of them can control. What begins as provocation turns into a forbidden, consuming desire. For Nicola, Bianca becomes an obsession worth risking everything for. But loving a Salvatore comes at a price. Bianca soon learns that the mafia doesn't forgive, doesn't forget, and never lets go. Pregnant with twins and ready to reveal the truth, she discovers Nicola is already engaged—bound by a future she was never meant to share. Humiliated and heartbroken, Bianca vanishes, carrying his secret and the pieces of her shattered heart. Torn between duty, family legacy, and the woman who changed his fate, Nicola launches a relentless search through the criminal underworld to find her. In a world where betrayal is paid in blood and love is the most dangerous weakness of all, their past choices may be the very thing that destroys them—or saves them.
