Synopsis
A scorching hot mafia series from bestselling author Jagger Cole. He knows what I saw. Now, he owns me. Carmine Barone is a monster no one sees but me. A beautiful villain with a cold, black heart and a body honed for violence. But when I stumble into a world I was never meant to see, the ruthless mafia heir becomes something else, too: my husband. Now, I'm trapped in a forced marriage to a man who hunts in darkness. A man who plays games with lies and deception. A secret predator who wants to feast on my darkest, most immoral desires. And the only thing worse than being chased by a psychopath? Wanting him to. Dance of Deception is a standalone dark mafia romance with a smart heroine and an ultra possessive psycho hero with "look at her and I'll unalive you" energy. No cliffhanger. HEA included. For mature listeners.
