Prisoner: A Mafia Romance (The Blood War Series: Book Two)

Warning: If you have not read the first book in the series, Savior, do not read the synopsis to avoid spoilers.

For as long as anyone could remember, the Drakos family and the Petrakis family have been at war. In recent years, after too much blood has been shed and Theodoros Petrakis’s oldest son, Andreas, loses his wife, both families decide to put an end to their war with an arranged marriage between Aris Drakos and Evangelia Petraki. But after Vlassis Petrakis acts on his own with multiple attempts to take Aris’s life, the pact falls through with both families still wanting peace. After Aris Drakos proposes to his girlfriend, Mia Williams, many people wonder whether an engagement between Pierce Drakos and Tatiana Petraki can stop the bloodshed in Athens.


Evelyn Jones is an aspiring fashion designer and assistant to famous fashion designer, Markos Ramos. When Markos decides to go back to his homeland in Greece, opening a boutique in the city and preparing for a fashion show for his spring collection, the ever-loyal Evelyn follows him there, not knowing that she’s not only following him to a new country but also into the underground mafia world of Greece.

Now that Pierce’s older brother, Aris, chose to give up his spot because he fell in love with an American, Pierce finally has the opportunity to prove to his father why he is worthy of being the son to take over their family business. In order to do that, he must get engaged to his long-time lover, Tatiana Petraki, and also complete the other tasks his father has given him, including the task of dealing with fashion designer Markos Ramos, who owes his father money. When Markos doesn’t pay back the money he owes, Pierce lets his anger get the best of him, bashing Markos into a coma. With the looming fashion show, and the need to complete his father’s task by getting him the money he is owed from Markos, Pierce decides to kidnap Markos’s assistant and force her to finish the rest of the designs for the show.

This can be read as a stand-alone, but if you want a satisfying read, and don’t want to be lost at certain points, it’s best to read the series in order, starting with Savior.
