Both:XX - my rose, my thorn

Two families. Two sides. One love. Welcome to Sergio de Luca's life. As the son of the most powerful man in Chicago, the world seems to be his oyster. Party excesses, drugs and sex are his everyday life. But now he has to take up his mafia inheritance and learn what it means to fulfil his duty. To do so, he has to leave behind the love of his life, Rosalie Rush - the daughter of a hostile family. However, this is not so easy, as Sergio and Rosalie have been irrevocably linked since childhood. The problem. His love could mean her death. He would risk many things, but never her life. How far will he go to protect it? Sergio's brother Zayden has completely different problems. His biggest one is called Selina Sanchez. Beautiful, cunning and just as toxic as he is. The two drag each other further and further into the darkness until suddenly a light appears on the scene in the form of Irina Terekov. She is the exact opposite of Selina: naïve, pure, innocent, Selina's biggest victim and, after a kiss between her and Zayden, his new prey. But he hasn't reckoned with Selina's possessiveness. Soon the three are caught up in a maelstrom of intrigue, betrayal, manipulation and destruction. What will Zayden choose? Poison or healing. Darkness or light. The start of a series that begins peacefully and ends in terror. Men with possessiveness, honour and pride, women who won't put up with anything. Enemy mafia families at war. Two hearts that love. Two hearts that hate. One heart that must be saved. Romeo and Juliet meets The Godfather. Explicit scenes, forbidden love, toxic love, dark mafia romance, bullying, abuse. Read at your own risk.
