Ruthless Prince: Dark Syndicate Book 1 by Faith Summers

“Ruthless Prince” is the first book in the Dark Syndicate series. It is a stand-alone Dark Mafia Enemies to Lovers Arranged Marriage Romance, complete with HEA and no cliffhangers.

We were destined for disaster from the second we met …

Massimo D’Agostino is the heir to his father’s empire.
Don’t be fooled by his handsome face, or that piercing blue gaze.
He’s no prince charming.
He’s dangerous and feared, possessive and fierce.

Our first meeting began with a contract that forced me to marry him and sign my life away.
I was a debt repayment and a pawn in his game to exact revenge against my father.
The only way out is death.

I belong to him now.
Me, the Balesteri Mafia Princess.
Pure and untouched…
Owned by the devil who placed me in a gilded cage.

But something unexpected happened the moment our paths collided.
It made me want more of what he had to offer every time I lay beneath him.

Then the past came knocking at the door and dark secrets scattered at my feet.
Suddenly I don’t know truth from lies.
Or, who the monster in this story is.
I thought it was my husband.
Now I’m not so sure…

“You’re mine. It means you’re mine. Whatever happens, you’re mine. You belong to me, Emelia, with or without a contract.”

Totally Booked UK Review: Whilst mafia princess Emelia knows that an arranged marriage is in her future, she is just hours away from heading to Florence for art school. Saying goodbye to her best friend, Jacob, she senses that he is after more than just friendship, but before they finish their conversations, Emelia is requested to return to her father immediately, Although it is not for the reason she suspects her father wants to see her.

Massimo is out for revenge against Emelia’s father, the man who destroyed his family when he was a boy and held a gun to his head at his mother’s funeral. After finding out he has been stealing money from the syndicate, Massimo can take his daughter and her assets as part of his revenge plans. Discovering that not only is she to be married to Massimo in a month but also that her father is effectively selling her to repay his debts is a shock, to say the least.

Untouched by any man, Emelia is held prisoner in Massimo’s home. Finding friendship with the maids and discovering that whilst she shouldn’t want Massimo, her body tells her something completely different. With the two of them coming together, but love isn’t part of this contract – Massimo even takes it out of their wedding vows. But as secrets are discovered, they find themselves drawn to each other. But with a crazy ex and family interference, will they ever find a way to make this more than it was ever supposed to be?

The truth hurts, but lies can kill…
I offered to do anything to save my father’s life when he was captured by the devil he owed a debt to.
A three-million-dollar debt.
So, I became the devil’s spy as I entered the lair of the Cartel King to take a job as a live-in nanny for his niece.

My orders were simple.

All I needed to do was this:
Get close to the Cartel King.
Be his to do anything he wants me to do.
Make him trust me enough to tell me the secrets his enemies need.

Do that, and I would save my father.
I just never expected to fall in love.
Or that Alejandro Ramírez would be the first man to heal my broken soul.
When he discovers the truth, I may wish I’d died instead of making that deal with the devil.

Totally Booked UK Review: The death of his brother and his wife left Alejandro as guardian to his niece Mia, Leaving him out for answers and revenge on whoever was behind the attack. Feeling it was an inside job he is on high alert and looking at those close to him. With the help of the syndicate, he hopes to find out what happened and do all he can to protect Mia – who is actually his daughter, but only a handful of people know this.

Kidnapped and taken hostage alongside her father, Lucia is shocked to discover her father’s debts and just who he owes them. To save her father’s life, Lucia is tasked with becoming Mia’s new live-in nanny, getting close to Alejandro to learn his plans and secrets. An unusual job description leads to her looking after the baby during the day and Alejandro at night. She finds herself caring for them both despite the strange and dangerous position she finds herself in.

The purpose of having Lucia fulfil a dual role in his household was to allow Alejandro to have someone to warm his bed without worrying about love—something he gave up on after being burned in the past. Slowly, they grow closer, but with danger just around the corner and truths to be uncovered, this could only ever be a temporary thing between them—no matter how much it will break Lucia’s heart to go against Alejandro and Mia.
