Mafia romance refers to a subgenre of romance books that features romantic
relationships within the context of organized crime. These types of books often
involve characters who are affiliated with the mafia or another criminal organization such as the
Russian Bratva, Italian-American Cosa Nostra, Japanese Yakuza or Chinese Triads and they may explore
themes such as loyalty, power, and betrayal, often involving tropes such as 'enemies to lovers' or 'arranged marriage'.
Mafia romance books often involve complex power dynamics, dangerous main characters and protagonists in peril.
Usually, the main characters have to learn how to balance their relationship with their responsibilities within the criminal organization
and familial obligations, often overcoming decades old feuds and mistrust between the partners.
Mafia romance books may also explore the impact of the criminal lifestyle on the lovers and their relationship.
Dark mafia romance books often feature complex and troubled main characters with often dubious motives and relationships that are intense, passionate, and sometimes destructive. The themes in dark romance books can be quite heavy, tackling issues such as abuse, dubious sexual encounters and trauma.

After a brush with death as a juvenile delinquent, Vivian swore she'd never stray across that line again—but there's just one problem with her plan to stay on the right side of the law. She's completely, irrevocably and unabashedly in love with Nikolai, the Russian mob boss who saved her life.
From the moment Vivian appeared in his life on that tragic April night, Nikolai felt himself inextricably bonded to her. She's the bright light in his dark world and the only thing that keeps him from sliding deeper into a life of crime and violence—a mobbed-up life he can't escape no matter how hard he tries.
After Vivian is ripped from his arms in a brazen blitz attack, Nikolai will stop at nothing to get her back—but rescuing her and keeping her safe in his arms isn't enough. Suddenly, Nikolai's only chance to keep her safe is to do the one thing he vowed never to do—he'll drag her deeper into his shadowy world and bind her to him forever.
Because their tangled pasts are about to collide and the shockwave threatens to bring Houston's criminal underbelly to its knees…
